Hey! I’m Raks.

I believe travel isn’t always picture-perfect, and honestly, that’s what makes it funny. So if you like chaotic storytelling, unfiltered adventures, and laughing through minor emotional trauma while clutching a train ticket to somewhere confusing—welcome to the madness.

Oh, what the heck, AI wrote that first paragraph, not me 🙂

I’m that kind of traveler who doesn’t go anywhere without my camera, books the cheapest flights then panics over tight, 50-minute layovers. Call me old-fashioned but I feel secure printing a physical copy of my flight tickets and itinerary. I don’t always plan my trips down to the last detail—but when I do, I forget half of it the moment I land.

I have a love-hate relationship with hotels, a complicated friendship with TSA officers, and a tendency to accidentally look suspicious in airport security footage. I’m not lost—I’m just directionally challenged and flexible.

I started this blog years and years ago in different sites and just kept on evacuating and migrating from one site to another and yet into another site, until I decided to revamp everything and focus on the lighter side of travel. This blog is a mix of real adventures, near-misses, culture shocks, and awkward encounters—told with love, sarcasm, and possibly jet lag.

Welcome to my world. Wipe your feet. Pack light. And please don’t judge my carry-on snacks.
 
Nice to meet you.
