About me

priyank profile image
Hello, I am Priyank. Welcome to my blog.

This blog is an outcome of my interests in understanding culture, rationalism and sustainability from the perspective of a traveller. I feel that we are all companions, on an endless and unpredictable journey, and I try to live with the philosophy of making each day happy and fruitful.

I love narrating travel stories, describing various things I did, places I saw, people I met and some funny situations I ended up in; illustrated by numerous pictures and/or sketches.

I grew up mostly in post-socialist India, moved to Canada after 25 years and traveled to a bunch of countries since then. As a result, nothing excites me more than seeing how remarkably similar we all are, despite our inherent cultural differences.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you feel inspired to come back soon! You could stay updated via email alerts, RSS reader, twitter and facebook.

PS: If you are curious for more, head over to the about-me page on my personal blog.
