Devasmita

There is no joy greater than the opportunity of packing your camera, grabbing your car keys, and venturing out on the road. That is what I do when I am not working as a post doctoral research associate. Having lived for more than seven years in the U.S., there has never been a dearth of great places to explore. Day trips, hikes, road trips, camping trips, I enjoy every bit of it. Planning trips and writing about them later is as much fun as the experience of traveling. I aspire to visit all the continents and every U.S. national park (and write about them) someday. Thank you Ghumakkar, for providing a wonderful platform to amalgamate my two stronger interests- writing and travel.
