  • HAPPY NEW YEAR, LET 2020 BE YOUR YEAR OF JUMPING INTO....😀
  • MERRY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL. MAY WE ALL REMEBER AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE REASON FOR THE CELEBRATION.
  • Jogjakarta, also known as Jogja, is one of my favourite places in Indonesia. The community there are still very loyal to their culture thus, so much to see and learn. 1: You must Visit the Borobodur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built in the 9th century. Take time to enjoy the great art that it is, to the carvings and messages in the wall. Make sure you have comfortable walking shoes because, these 100steps need to be climbed. 3: Enjoy a horse and carriage ride in the streets. These are actually a common means of transport thus, quite pocket friendly. 4: Eat their delicacies which are all versions of Nasi Goreng, mie foreign, sate etc 5: Make friends
  • Today we venture into Indonesia and we start off with Bali. Kenyans do not require a Visa to visit, for up to 30 days for Tourism. MYTH: You need to own a bank in order to travel to Bali FACT: Bali is very very friendly to all budgets, even the budget budget conscious. 1: Bali is so rich with culture, you Must engage with it. A) Attend a Bebalihan Dance which is a collection of dances like Legong and others Please, do not blink lest you miss any bit of the performances. The ladies are all dolled up, and they do quick graceful movements with their hands, feet and eyes. The men have more vigorous dances and even they have makeup. I Love love loved the performances. 2: The accommodation options in the area vary yet, even in the general basic ones, high chance of getting a cool pool like this one. 3: Their traditional outfits are a sarong and a light sweater for the women. They wear these everyday so try get yourself one. 4:Eat, eat , eat their local delicacies Click link on bio for more #bali #baliindonesia #wangechigitahitravels #asia #travelblogger
  • We venture into Hoshiapur in Punjab State, which was my home away from home for about two months. It is a rural area and it was great being immersed in their culture and lifestyle. NB: This was the first time in my life, I had travelled to a place I knew no one, no one at all and I was travelling alone beyond the African continent. However, the locals, the residents, the neighbours went out of their way to make me feel so at home, to feel like one of them, to know that to them, I was Family..Nostalgia ..I enjoyed my stay too much. 1: The richness of their culture had me even attending National festivals to experience more. 2: The community I was living among -The Sikhs and Hindus are dominantly vegetarian. I came to appreciate vegetarian meals on a whole new level because the variety, the delicacies, the aromas, the spices, the preparing and cooking-my taste buds and I were 🎉🎉 all the time. I learnt to cook quite a few meals. b) They lived out the word "community" everyday. During events, there were no men or female roles, all were cooking, cleaning, washing, preparing and working as one. They were each others keeper and went out of their way to welcome strangers like me into their fold/family. 3-4: I danced to Bangra almost every day and loved it. They love their music and dance, I love their music and dance-perfect match...Bangra which is their main genre has quite an array of dance moves and I truly loved learning and dancing them out. Like most Indian movies depict, you can dance anytime, anywhere, everywhere..Unfortunately, I never got a chance to dance in a garden full of flowers 😉 5: This was one of our means of transport-not sure what to call it. It's like a jeepney but not a jeepney. It was however really cool, driving around the village and even into town in these😀 6: I made so many friends, learnt so much, engaged in so much and experienced life in a while new amazing way...For more: Click link in bio
  • Explore Shimla, that is found in Himachal Pradesh. This is a beautiful area in the mountains that truly pushed me out of my comfort zone. 1:Visit Kufri if you are extra adventurous - I met a community that keeps snakes as pets like we would a cat, dog or cow. Check out the guy on the wall chilling with his. I still have no idea how I actually opted to try blend in by having one draped on my neck. I was soooo terrified, yet excited and that mixture played with my adrenaline to prevent me from collapsing....Today, even if you paid me, I will not even come close to you, to help you get a pic😱😀 -I saw and rode a Yak, a Yak my people, a Yak. Yes they exist I was so excited to see and ride one. They are used as a means of transport and for carrying luggage. I thought these are only found in the super snowy, top of the highest mountain areas but alas,😀 - Rode a horse up and down a mountain -Now, imagine getting your first horse riding lesson as you are about to ride out solo, up a mountain and thereafter back down.Terror , trying not to fall as the horse descends and I am about to roll over onto its neck and there after roll off it's back as we ascended.. .I survived all the above, and classify them as true achievements -Over ate their snacks For more click link in bio.
  • Today we venture into India. Kenyans need a visa to travel there but their procedure is quite friendly. We start off with the famous Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, found in Agra, in Uttar Pradesh. Illusion: Taj Mahal is a Palace FACT: It is a Mausoleum Fun Fact: It was built by Mughal Shah Mahan from 1632-1653 in memory of his 3rd wife, a Posthumous Expression of Love. & they are buried there together. For more, click link in bio.. Talk to us, info@wangechigitahitravels or DM us here, this could be You at the Taj Mahal soon. #India #Travel
