Planning Denmark

On a fine Monday afternoon of May 26, I am already thinking of December. It has been decided and everything that has to do with making a booking will be done real soon. As I am typing this, I am also thinking about moving and the exquisite smell that my hair produces. Not that it smells bad but somehow I am smelling December. Sitting towards the end of May, the 12th month of the year is not a long way to go. This means I need to plan now on what to bring and items to avoid bringing to Denmark. It will be winter and it will be my first solo winter travelling. So I wouldn’t want to exceed my weight limit by stuffing all heavy coats and sweaters in my backpack and bringing you-think-you-need-them-but-you-don’t items. On places to go, I do have my list but Denmark is so expensive, so I am avoiding places that will suck-dry my pocket. But while I am at it, I am also now thinking whether I should go Oslo …

I stood before the crowning glory of Petra

The giant red mountains and vast mausoleums of a departed race have nothing in common with modern civilization, and ask nothing of it except to be appreciated at their true value – as one of the greatest wonders ever wrought by Nature and Man. I have been to many amazing places and seen many amazing wonders. But nothing is comparable to standing in front of a mind blowing ancient architecture dated back to the first century AD. Every place has its own unique beauty that one cannot compare and the Al-Khazneh, is breathtaking – a word that came to mind the moment the Treasury Building, as they called in English, was revealed to me as I reached the end of the Siq.

Toast to a random thought

The heart knows when the search is over… When I am not telling stories about traveling the world, I be random-ing. The other day, I found an old treasure. A book, which I have completely forgotten and now reunited. Every woman somehow needs to have a guide book that speaks about relationship. Whether it’s a book that discuss on how to attract men, how to forget your past relationship/ex, how to cope with bad relationship, how to build a strong relationship, how to bring your relationship to the altar and the like, all women must have it in their shelf just so it may come in handy someday. It is unexplainable but understandable at the same time. I bought this particular book when I was still in uni. Two-thousand-and-six or perhaps seven. I was 20 or 21 then. I am not sure how this would help me, but I believe it would come in handy soon 🙂
