About Me

Hello there!

Welcome to the first post on my blog.

My name is Pranay and I am currently in high school. I created this blog because of my love for travel. After all, I have been to 18 countries despite only being 14! I have to admit, however, that I was not always a travel enthusiast. When I was younger, I would feel as if my parents were dragging me away from my friends to take me to unknown places. I thought they were doing this to make sure that I did not have fun :(. However, the COVID-19 outbreak has made me realize how much I love traveling. I miss traveling a lot right now. I hope we can go on vacation soon. Quarantine has made me realize that the expression “You never know what you have until it’s gone” is so true. However, some good has come out of this quarantine. I’m starting a travel blog now :). I hope that I can show other kids the beauty of traveling through this blog. Trust me, guys, there is more to life than school and Xbox 😜.

Traveling, to me, is learning about different cultures. I find it fascinating to experience how other people live in this big world. Additionally, seeing all these beautiful monuments in different places is truly special. The intricate details put into these historical monuments are amazing. It is hard to imagine the effort people put into building these monuments. Thoughts like this put into perspective how lucky we are to live in this day and age even though it may not seem like it right now. 

Travelling is also about spending time with my family. Usually, my family and I are always busy with work and school. Traveling is a way for us to spend more time together. Going on vacations together has given me so many memories that I will treasure always. It is another part of why I love traveling so much. 

My family is the greatest. My dad loves to crack jokes and is funny. My mom is super nice and loves to look out for me. Oh man, I just realized they are going to be reading this!! One of their favorite things to do is to plan trips. Don’t get me wrong I love to learn a little bit about the places we are going to before going there. However, it can get annoying at times. Especially when my dad cracks out his guidebook while we are viewing these cool places. He tells me way too much about the monuments we are going to see. Information overload, I say😜

My younger sister is just the worst sibling ever :). I’m just kidding. She is a great sister who can be annoying at times. She’s sweet and kind and a great person in general. While it is true I find her bothersome at times (particularly when she argues with me), I love her. Overall, my family makes for super travel companions.

That was my first ever post. I hope you enjoyed it. Come back later for more adventures and misadventures of “The traveling teen”! Bye for now! See you next time as we head to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
