#AtoZChallenge2017- Theme Reveal : {Travel Epiphanies}

Ahoy Amigos!

So, it’s that time of the year when a whole lot of bloggers are whipping up their pens, or polishing their keyboards, and gearing up with bated breath for the much awaited AtoZ Challenge 2017. I’m a complete newbie to this but I’m so very excited. I’ve written for as long as I can remember; way back in school, then re-starting after years of hibernation and then again falling back and re-starting. I recently chose to take a sabbatical from my professional career as a Communication Consultant and seriously pursue my calling and passion for writing. I must confess that I have never taken any challenge of this sort, ever, and I’m super, super excited.

I’m a travel bug who has had some remarkable epiphanies during the course of my journeys on foot, on the cycle, in the air and on water. A few journeys have been life altering, some lesson imparting and some a sheer delight to behold and savour. Each place that I travelled to, left me not only with its sweet and savoury memories but also brought with it a certain awakening of sorts. Sometimes spiritual, sometimes ephemeral yet surreal. I guess the credit goes to the people, the beings of the universe, the meandering rivers, the indomitable hills and at times just the plain rolling mist. They’ve all left me bewildered, bewitched and thirsting for more.

So this A to Z 2017, come, let’s embark together on this journey of my travel epiphanies, as I spin 26 tales of adventure and realisation and revelation.

  1. Ooh! Travel stories! Now that’s something I love to do: sit at home, read the awesome travel journeys written by other bloggers, and feel a vicarious thrill of enjoying some sunshine/snow/rain/mountain view/ desert view etc.! All the best for your first AtoZChallenge, Natasha. The first one will always be memorable 🙂

    1. Hey Mithila, Yes, I’m so excited to be participating in this amazing challenge. See you on the ride. Hope the egg-jams are over by now? Are you taking the “boreds” :p Good luck, you wordsmith!

    1. Thank you so much ME for your warm words. I look forward to your comments and feedback.I found your blog very spunky and just started following it. Looking forward to reading your posts too. Aren’t you participating in AtoZ2017? Can’t find your theme reveal.

      1. Great to connect with you Natasha 🙂
        No, am not participating in the A to Z Challenge this year. Though I can’t wait to read the blogs and yours is on my list too.
        So glad you liked my blog <3

  7. I love reading travel posts. It takes you away from the mundane doldrums of life especially when you are unable to take a break! I’m sure you’ll enjoy this challenge. See you around!

    1. Wow Liam, that is so very kind of you to say. I would love to follow your photography posts as I’m always intrigued and inspired by nice, well shot pictures. Have a great ride. Cheerio!

  8. Travel is important because it fundamentally transforms us. This experience of waking up to the power of your own transformation fires you up to “be the change you want to see in the world,” as Gandhi puts it.
    By taking a break from your daily life, unplugging from the pulls and pushes of technology and engaging in new activities in new places, you have an easier opportunity to release unwanted habits. Also, it is empowering to surround yourself with people who don’t know the encyclopedia of your past. It reinforces your willingness to broaden your horizons, to get unstuck and to move in new directions. Looking forward to read your travel posts/experiences whole of this April. Good Luck

  9. I love you theme and I am going to root for you. Travel teaches us many lessons and helps us reflect more that we can imagine. So, I am going to be here – reading posts on this blog. Good luck!

    1. I’m so very pleased to hear that Parul. Appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. I have a lot of respect for you and your writing, so your kind, valuable words mean much. :-)))

  10. I love how you write – always different & with a zing! I look forward to reading your ‘epiphanies’ – and the opportunity to join in your journey and see it from your very interesting perspective! Good Luck! I will be back on 1st april and before offcourse!

    1. Hello there, Louise,
      Thank you for coming by and leaving your imprints. I’m a travel bug yes, though I won’t say I have travelled far and wide. But all the travelling I have done has left some indelible experiences and memories. Let’s exchange notes for sure. All the best for the exhilarating #AtoZChallenge 2017 ride.

  11. I not only travel, I love reading about different experiences about and through travel, and i am sure I am not the only one. So I’d say you’ve got a cracker of a theme, Natz!
    All the best for April!:)

    1. Thanks a ton May. I hope I can do as much justice to all the posts too. Looking forward to your food centric theme. It’s what foodies like me will crave for everyday. All the very best to you too!
