Nomadic Experiences of 2015

I skipped writing a year-ender
last year even though my 2014 was filled with travels - as it was the year I
finally fulfilled my decade-long dream of visiting the country of India. Like
hitting three birds with one stone, I also crossed out the location where
Richard from Alex Garland’s “The Beach” discovered a secret spot. A paradise on Earth indeed, but in real-life, is
anything but deserted – crawling with tourists holding selfie sticks partaking
in tourism’s sometimes unpleasant effect; the world renowned Maya Bay in Thailand. I also ventured into the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka where I counted five UNESCO World Heritage Sites situated
within 5-6 hour train rides from each other. 2014 was also the year I thought I
had found a lifelong travel companion.
