I am a person who likes traveling. I may not have a list of countries that I have traveled to, but I have a list of places that I have visited in my country. I like some activity in my travels. Apart from seeing new things and meeting people from different cultural backgrounds, I like to involve myself in some activity, that is exclusive for that region. This includes even small things such as swimming in the oceans, trekking small hills (doesn't have to be hardcore trekking), wildlife safaris, etc. I am a Wildlife and Adventure sport enthusiast and this is one of the main reasons I am a fitness freak. I know "being fit" is the only key to enjoy my interests.
I always try and talk to the local people when I visit places, just so to know their practices. I also have traveled with friends to many places, exploring new places, monuments, etc. The Indian Art and architecture has always interested me. I have always been engrossed by the marvels of it. The diversity in the cultures followed here is simply great!
The rich variety in the wildlife that India offers is so awesome. I have been to the forests many times and been on safaris.
Road Trips are another thing that excites me. Though I have traveled in many modes of transport, traveling by road is what I like the most.
