Hello Readers! Welcome to journeys2memories!

As the famous Moroccan scholar, Ibn Battuta, said, ‘Travelling leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.'
This blog is a story of my travels; I want to lend you my eyes and lead you through a maze of travel experiences that left me enraptured and yearning for more.
Through my travel stories, I wish to bring to you the essence of the place in question and share with you the joy of travelling to the destination of your dreams.
But my memoirs are not just stories of my travels. Apart from my firsthand travel tips, they will also give you detailed itineraries and address queries that plague the minds of most prospective travellers... How expensive is the destination in question? What is the best time to visit? How to reach? What to wear? Any dos and dont's? Is it safe? Is it kid-friendly? The list is endless.
I would also like to mention here that my posts are based on my firsthand travel experiences and are not AI-generated.
I want you to experience the place and its people and decide whether visiting it is worth your time and money!

I am Anju Chandna, your storyteller......
