Liverpool-A football city


Liverpool- A football city

On my trip to England, I went to visit the city of Liverpool and I discovered a city full of history and traditions. Liverpool is mostly renowned for the two football clubs- Liverpool FC and Everton FC- in the city which are located just about 1 km apart from each other and separated by Stanley Park. I got the opportunity to visit the Anfield stadium, home of Liverpool Football Club, one of the biggest football clubs in the world and it was an amazing experience as I am a childhood fan of ‘LFC’. Liverpool is also the birthplace of the famous Rock band, The Beatles, and the city exhibits the wealthy history of the band with memorabilia in local pubs and restaurants everywhere.

I was also able to watch a football match live in the stadium and one could clearly see the exuberating passion of the population about football. The evening went on to be a mix of cheerful screams and admiration for the players as our team won the match dominantly. Later that night, as I was travelling with some friends, we went to the pub to enjoy a few drinks and celebrate the victory with the locals to cap off what was a truly fascinating and spine-tingling experience of my life.

My trip to Thailand - the land of smiles

Reminiscing on the times where I have travelled to the most uplifting of destinations, three years ago, I had the opportunity to travel to Ubon Ratchathani, the Northeastern region of Thailand. Thailand is a popular tourist destination visited by people all over the world, the country holds such beautiful landscapes, clear beaches, and a kinetic nightlife. Known as the "land of smiles", one thing that is truly bound to make you awe in wonder are the temples. On its sacred ground, Thailand houses more than 40,000 temples, with most of its population with a Buddhist. During my trip to Ubon Ratchani, my family and I got to visit the "glowing Temple" - which its name was already impressive enough. What caught my eye was the back of the temple, there cared the "tree of life" which will illuminate at night and catch the eyes of temple visitors - it is said to resemble Banyan tree which Buddha meditated under. Sirindhorn Wararam Phu Prao Temple (also known a...

A journey on the tropical island of Mauritius Today, I will take you through my journey on the island of Mauritius. Known as the ‘Paradise island’, Mauritius is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with its exquisite beaches, magnificent mountains, sugarcane fields, historical sites and communities of people rich with traditions. It is truly a great escape from the tedious routines of our lives.  The island’s attractive beaches and tropical climate is complemented by a multi-ethnic and cultural population that is friendly and welcoming which made my trip much more enjoyable. I went trekking in the rainforests followed by a visit to the nature reserves where you can spot some of the native endangered species which was quite an amazing adventure. There are also a great range of sea activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling and kite surfing - an experience I encourage you all to try. I was also fascinated by the local culture and variety of colourfu...
