Exotics yet to be
conquered
“The tranquil
blueness of the sea beacons me,
The green country
side asks me for company,
The colourful city
life wants me to party hard,
The placid mountains
look down at me with love.”
It’s strange but true, that I have never travelled outside
India.
But I have always felt a connection with many exotic locations in the world. I
have felt that they beacon me to conquer their beauty and uniqueness and
preserve it forever within me. I always call myself an aspiring traveller. Studies, job etc have kept me too busy and
drifted from my travelling passion. But I guess and hope with all my heart and
soul, for my globe trotting to begin soon.
When I saw this contest on Indivine by Airbnb, I was extremely trilled to know
about the availability of unique homes in exotic locales across the globe. I
never knew about this concept before and thought it to be great. Afterall
nothing can be compared to the feeling of “feeling at home” even when home is
actually away “a hundred miles”. While it’s actually impossible for me to point
out only five places of interest across the globe, but still the ones too close
to my heart are:
- Bali: Blue is my colour and hence tranquil serenity of tropical
destinations have always attracted me. The golden sand ultimately embraces
the blueness of the massive and powerful sea. The transparent waters, the
colourful rocks beneath, the smooth coolness of the breeze, the brittle
softness of the sand and the never ending blue sky above! A beautiful sea
beach is an epitome of natural beauty to me. It kind of sets your spirits
free. You feel colourful, you look colourful. The euphoria breathes life
in you and relieves you of all stress. Actually I am simply a beach lover,
but Bali is one of the most wonderful
exotica I want to conquer.
- Spain: Spain
had always been in my wish list. From exotic beaches to places of
historical importance like Madrid and Barcelona. Spain has
it all, to quench the thirst of a wandering traveller. It has a feeling,
difficult to describe in words. The
movie “Zindagi na milegi dobara” actually infused this craze to go through
the feeling in me all the more. The stony roads, the smell of history, the
culture, the songs and dances and the bull all make it too attractive to
be ignored. It also has exotic beaches to offer. Lastly a Spanish holiday
is something; I cannot offer to miss in this life.
- Amsterdam: While Amsterdam
is more known for its exotic night life, but my interest is more in the
numerous museums the place is stacked with. Being the capital of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, its historical
interest actually overrides the red light district attraction. I had loved
to read Hazel and Gus romance in the streets of Amsterdam in John Green’s “The fault in
our stars.” Its natural beauty and metropolitan features makes it apt for
all type of travelers.
- Paris: Oh! Paris….Its
been my dream destination for so long. Just waiting to witness its
excellence. The city of style and fashion. The capital of France is
a great tourist puller from across the globe. Whether it’s the night
view of the Eiffel Tower or the uniqueness of the Louvre Museum.
Paris has
it all to offer to the world audience. Like most desired destinations
across the globe, Paris
too has an inherent feeling attached to it. The chic quotient reigns
supreme when we talk of it.
- New Zealand: Though head over heels in love with the euphoria attached with
beaches, the placid beauty of snow-capped mountains of New Zealand
attract my fancies too strongly. The beautiful greenery of the valley and Grey Mountains around infuses so much
life that it is possible to dream with open eyes. The life is more like
living a dream there. Hence I dream to live there for a few days in my
life.
The world is much more beautiful
than we can even imagine, it has got a destination for every traveller. Besides
the five places I have mentioned there are many more that I want to behold. The
real wish list is never ever going to end.
Airbnb offers an exciting range of
homes away from home across the world. You can even list your property if
interested. Here’s my wish list of the locales and homes I wish to visit:Exotics yet to be conquered
