Travel Motivates to Travel

                           

Travelling itself is very inspiring. What motivated me to travel is my 13-year-old daughter and my husband. When my daughter was 5 years old, she wanted her birthday gift to be something different and memorable so as my husband. That’s how I started planning to Give the gift of Travel and fall in love with travelling. This is the gift which will fill our lives with adventure, togetherness, memories and a lot of stories to tell. This is the only gift that we will cherish our whole life and will give us new experiences which will tell her that the world is not scary. Choosing travel as a gift keeps all of us happy and brings us closer and motivates us to travel and explore more and more. That’s how we started travelling often and hence the name of my blog came from “travel often”.

Let me take you on a brief roller coaster ride of our trips. The more I write the less it is. The only way to cherish these places is by experiencing them.
