With a collection of vibrant experiences and soulful stories gathered over the years, Be an XL Traveller is an 'extra-large' life account that doesn't follow a particular route, allowing readers to explore the joys of travel in their own way. The book explores the objective of travel, which is not just to be lost, but to discover oneself and gain new experiences, life lessons, and impressions that create memories for a lifetime. It deconstructs the anatomy of the traveller and the trip, and helps one build it back with smart travel tips that allow you to be financially prudent, eco-friendly, and make the most out of that solo or group trip. While busting myths related to travel writing, it provides tips to its readers on taking up travel writing as a profession in the form of photography, blogging, and vlogging. This book will appeal not only to travellers, travel writers, researchers, but all travel buffs.
As I pen down the foreword for this book, I am filled with mixed emotions My heart swells with pride as a young and fiercely spirited officer from our town sets out on a journey to be an author, and it couldn't be a mere coincidence that he chose the exciting subject of travel as the theme for his first book. Feeling low at the same time because I had to recently cancel two long-pending tripsa jungle safari to Corbett National Park in the northern hill state of Uttarakhand in India and a hatke or one of its kind road trip to mystical Ladakh, further up North all thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Being an offbeat traveller myself, 1 know exactly what Shiv means when he says, "Get lost to find oneself, or what goes on in a traveller's head whenever planning for a trip. I read the book's summary and felt as if I was living my process of preparation! As a teacher in my day job, I love interacting with learners, and as this book begins with learning the Art of Travel, which is never spoken of too often, the pangs of travelling during a pandemic, recession, depression, and such tough times are touched upon, which would be of interest to readers of the day.
