Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog! I am Geeta - food lover, interior design and travel enthusiast and sun lover!
Through my blog/online journal, I want to capture the highlights of all the trips I make and the restaurants I visit.
These may be influenced by tips from websites, travel blogs and books or recommendations from friends and family but my experiences are unique to me.

As the years go by, they will serve as fond memories, to remind me that life is all about living every moment.
