Why We Travel

- September 16, 2018

We are Durga Charan Mishra and Jotshna Mishra, married travel blogger couple, from Puri, Odisha.

In the past twenty years, traveling has been our passion and we love exploring the cultures, nature, food, art, history.

I’m 68 years old and my wife, Jotshna, is 57, and we love to travel together. My wife is my lifelong friend and a long-term traveling companion. We love to see new places and experience the beauty, food and people of different regions. India is full of surprises and it is always exciting to explore new places, visiting historical sites, eating a new cuisine, communicating with people when our language doesn't matter.

We never know what might happen on the road. Stepping out into the unknown is what makes travel so exciting. Each day brings endless possibilities, but that possibility could be good or bad. We prepare our self to face anything on the way. An unfamiliar experience always leaves us with a new skill or knowledge. It is like whole world is a classroom. Every destination has something unique and experiencing this in real life, not reading it in a textbook, is a great learning. It stays with us and satisfies the soul.

We love to travel as it expands our perspective by challenging us to learn more about ourselves and appreciating our life. We travel to open our hearts and eyes to learn more about people and their life. We realize that there’s no one way to live life.

For a truly authentic experience and to get to know the local culture we consider staying in local hostels which also helps with our budget. Our passion has always helped us in meeting people and making new friends. Meeting people who know nothing about you and you know nothing about them can be very interesting.
