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.

There have been many news reports concerning rain-related damage in the department of Puno, and, on account of those stories, Libertador Hotels, Resorts & Spas wishes to set the record straight that the devastated area is very far away from the destination’s major hotels, around 100 kilometers in fact, and that is why hotel managers and tour operators in Puno are guaranteeing that travelers will be 100% safe.
“It’s important for tourists to know that hotels are located far from the affected area and that they can stick to their travel plans to go to Lake Titicaca and other destinations around the region with no danger whatsoever,” stated Luis Barboza, Libertador Operations Manager. He went further and asked media to inform that roads connecting Puno with Tacna, Arequipa, and Cusco are operating normally, as are those crossing the border into Bolivia, and that access to the Juliaca Airport is completely open and has not been affected by the rains.
As some may know, this is the week in which Puno celebrates “La Candelaria”, perhaps its busiest tourist time of the year. The feast is in full swing, and those tourists who have already reached Puno are enjoying the traditions, culture, and natural settings this marvelous destination has to offer.
