Questions from Dream, Book and Travel to Couple Travel Tales:

1. Describe your blog by assigning a color to it. Explain your choice. 

The colour we would assign is light blue, the colour of open skies and horizon which remind us of our mutual love of travel and adventure and unexplored possibilities.

2. Describe your blog by assigning a sound/piece of music to it. Explain your choice. 

Though we do have our own personal preferences in the choice of music.. Indie, Alternative Rock and Pop are the genres that are our common favourites. Since it’s a couple blog , we’ll probably assign Indie, Alternative rock or Pop genre for the blog.

3. Describe your blog by assigning a smell to it. Explain your choice. 

We are both massive bibliophiles who love the smell and texture of old books. They remind us of the sense of mystery and adventure in exploring places just as some books either commemorate and enrich our travel experiences together while others serve as a unique memento from our trips.

4. Describe your blog by assigning a taste to it. Explain your choice. 

We love Indian and mediterranean cuisine. I love spicy food and Unni loves it sweet. Our blog will probably have a mix of every flavour as we love a blend of all the different flavoured food.

5. Describe your blog by assigning a texture to it. Explain your choice. 

As we mentioned we love the texture of old books, the faint orange brown colour due to age, the slight crackling of its spine which is a reminder of its rich history.We would love if our blog were to feel like those old books we so love..

6. Describe your blog by assigning a feeling to it. Explain your choice. 

Assigning a feeling to our blog .. it would be Happiness and Gratitude. Travelling the world and looking at the world through the eyes of a blogger has always been a special feeling. I feel you look more into the details of every beautiful thing in this world and you appreciate it more. Hence what the writer feels will be the feeling that his/ her article or blogs will impart to the readers.. Every time i blog the two main feelings that I have is ” happiness and Gratitude”.

7. Describe your blog by assigning a season/month of the year/time of day to it. Explain your choice.

Assigning a season to our blog it’ll probably be spring. Our travels mostly focus on the history, culture and traditions of the places we visit. All the different people, their traditions, their amazing histories are all so colourful like that of Spring.

8. Describe your blog by assigning a plant/flower/tree/animal to it. Explain your choice.

If we had to assign a plant/tree to our blog we would choose the Banyan tree. Each travel experience is an enriching one and the memories are like the rootlets from its branches. As i had mentioned in one of my blogs “what if trees could speak” trees have been living since ages and have witnessed all these amazing history of all times, if they could speak i am sure they’ll have a lot to speak about. We being history buffs love to learn more on the history and culture of each and every place we travel and blog on it just like how banyan tree would talk on all the rich history that the tree has witnessed over the course of it’s lifetime.

9. Will you ever retire from traveling? How do you see yourself in your old age? 

We don’t see ourselves retiring from travelling at our old age . For us, travelling is not just about the destination, it’s about travelling to places together, all our memories and happiness of travelling together, that comes along with it.
So in our old age even a simple trip to a near by destination will be a cherised memory.

10. If the internet did not exist/imagine living 100 years ago – what would you be doing? 

Well, that’s quite simple we would just continue happily travelling around the world. There is always so many options to enjoy life even without internet. We would probably continue to live our lives the way we do now.. focus on our hobbies, play board games, nature walks etc. I agree internet has made our lives so much easier now. Life without it might not be that simple but we’ll always have enough options to enjoy life even without it .
