Lot of things to say, met lot of yatris....fun stories, sad stories, inspiring stories...everyone have special story to inspire the world...yes world is my inspiration ..All these are my inspiring people.
Now i am feeling the true meaning of travel is not about visiting places and not taking pics and all...the true meaning of traveler is meeting the solos of strangers. If we travel with different people we learn about their place and culture and all but if we travel with same minded people it will help us to build us and meet us and will help us to fill inspirational joy.in simple words
"in travel a little more is learned, a little more is felt, and a little more is given back to the community that is welcoming us so. Travel, after all, was never only about the places or sightseeing. It will always be more about the people you met along the journey and how you touched their souls"
And finally, from jy i learned
“Help someone, develop your own skills, create something for society, think positively and be confident. Trust in yourself that you can change the world! Every small efforts you do, can take you and others along away”
after yatra decided to help the people and connect to same minded people on board.
After plenty of questions am selected as Ambassador of Jagriti Yatra-2015 .
