This story happened during my vacation in Kiribati Islands. We stayed there in deep overwater bungalow! Like the one on the picture below. There were many fun things to do in the island like swimming, water tubing, scuba diving, snorkeling and many others but still it turned out to be a nightmare!

The exposition of memoir itself is…

Chapter 1: “Queued On An Evening In Roma” From waiting in unimaginably long, unorganized queues with hoards of people, just shuffling feet to add the pretext of movement, to the hustle and bustle of trying to move along in a group in a strange new place (assuming I was amongst mostly tourists), nothing ever changes when it comes to human behaviour regardless of the geographical location. That is my very first observation during my very first vacation to somewhere I did not grow up in. It’s…

After explaining to him why I was there, he described to me that I needed to first go through security, and then take the elevator up to the fifth floor…

I was in Costa Rica for eight days and was able to see and do many new things that I could not have done in the United States. It was an exhilarating but also nerve-racking trip. First, I had never left the United States before going to Costa Rica, so I was quite nervous. I had no idea what to expect but in the plane on the way there my imagination was running wild and I was incredibly excited. The flight to Costa Rica…
