The Niagara Falls is well-known as one of the largest waterfalls in the world. Until now, I had read about the Niagara Falls in my Geography books in school, and then maybe saw few videos on Niagara Falls in the National Geographic Channel. But boy! What an experience you have, when you actually stand right there and watch it live. The grandeur of the crystal clear waters and the gushing winds make this place a visual delight. It is a geological wonder indeed. Journey from New York to Buffalo City There’s an interesting story behind our travel from New York to Buffalo City. We were so focused on budget travel…

Things To Know Before You Visit Statue of Liberty, New York
As part of a tightly-scheduled itinerary for New York, we were almost weary and tired on the last day of our trip to New York. But, no visit to New York is ever complete, without catching a glimpse of the Lady – the Statue of Liberty! So, we got ready early in the morning, quickly hopped into the Subway and reached Bowling Green Subway station – one of the closest stations to the Ferry terminal. It was a sunny Tuesday morning and and I had never imagined that there would be so many visitors to this place on a tourist off-season and working day. This clearly explains the world-class charm…

Delectable Dishes Galore At The Texas Food Truck Showdown 2018
Before moving to Austin, I had read and heard a lot about the food culture in Texas and was quite eager to set out on a food adventure in Texas. As luck would have it, the Texas Food Truck Showdown 2018, was scheduled on March 17, 2018.

Meanwhile, I travelled to different countries and even stayed in one of them for about a year. Perhaps, the travel during that time, gave me a lot…
