A wanderer's wish

I LOVE TO TRAVEL. Can I say this in any other way to emphasize it further.. !! I just love to travel. (Mind your brain with the overusage of the word 'Love' in the next few lines). When I travel --> I love what I learn, I love what I feel, I love to explore, I love to experience the culture, I love to shop at the local markets, I love to walk and walk, I love to talk to the people, I love to inhale the new air, I love making new friends, I love being a wanderer without a plan, I love to be spontaneous, although I love to plan the day, I love using a map, I love.. I love.. I love it... (that said, I hate to learn a new language.. I dont like the communication barrier.. damn.. !)

But yes. I do enjoy travel a lot. I would prefer the more exotic locations and unchartered territories but I still do enjoy the regular everyday big cities. At this point with limited time, I will take what I get. I have been to a number of places in the last 2 months. And each and every city had a certain something about itself. Not many could differentiate, but I certainly could. They smelt different, so different!

I really liked Boston. Thanks to a certain someone in my life that I enjoy history so much now (let me take this opportunity to mention that I was one of those students who cried before her History exam unlike other kids who did so before Mathematics). Charles River, the age old buildings, Cambridge (house to two of the best universities of the world), jazz, the rustic bars and what not.. It was surreal. It enchanted me. It grew onto me. The suburbs only added to the story of Boston.

On the other hand, Seattle was a different world. Its a very modern city with a country feel to it. The age old country feel still resides in the heart of this modern and upcoming city. Its gives the feel of a small SFO like town, but the country feel takes it far far away from SFO. And I am glad it does. Public Market - a sure place to visit. Its my kinda day well spent!! And the little Cheesecake shop - The Best! Seattle also grew onto me coz of my immense love for the "idea" of coffee. Its the coffee capital of the world. I liked the feel of Vivace, but surely not the best that I have seen. But soooo my kinda place. Gotta find something like that back home.

Now that I write about coffee, Bangalore's Open Barista at Barton Centre still remains my fav. Nothing can beat that.

Indianapolis - What it brings? Its people! Nothing like the people from the Midwest. They speak from their heart and are very straight forward. The feeling of warmth just seeps into you and you are a part of the family. Amazing. Suits me and my nature perfectly fine. But very country and that clearly doesnt suit me. But Lady Daze Cafe is a lovely find.

Haha.. I am digging coffee places these days. Hi-Fi to that..

I have learnt so much by just travelling. I LOVE TO TRAVEL. But dont get me wrong. I dont want to be a wanderer. I do want to come back to my home. My very own space. But I soon need to get on the road and do some hard-core travelling. We talking real stuff here.. ! :)
