I am a passionate traveler, photographer and an engineer by profession. I have always loved new travel experiences. However, it reached a whole new level when I took off for a Himalayan trek in May 2015 - it made me realise how totally gratifying travel can be. Since then, I have traveled near and far, as much as I can,  always looking for new and immersive adventures.

Be it trekking on snow in the mighty Himalayan range, bungee jumping with a river view in Rishikesh, cliff jumping or scuba diving in the emerald blue waters of Thailand, high-altitude river rafting at the freezing cold rivers of Zanskar in Leh - my propensity for new experiences is ever growing as is my wishlist.

Christmas Travel Quiz

Christmas Travel Quiz

Did you notice the magic in the air? Nah, I’m not talking about being in love, but at this time of the year, with all the interwoven stories and celebrations, it sure seems like there’s magic in the air!

Coming from India where the celebrations during Christmas aren’t so grandiose, I have wanted to travel during Christmas for the longest time. I flew to New York on a very last minute flight 2 years ago, and it truly felt special.

Apart from the feeling of magic, it sure is cheaper from a flight and stays perspective as well. And traveling during winters has its own charm too. Visiting over-touristic places during the off-season sure has its benefits. Like for instance, you see far fewer people and you aren’t burdening the locals either.

Can you believe it? I ended up seeing snow in freaking Venice. I had not seen any pictures or heard of anyone talking about snow in Venice!

And what about you? Have you ever traveled during Christmas or the Holiday season?

Even if you haven’t got the chance to travel yet, I’m sure you’ve at least watched Christmas movies with all the traditions that come along with them.

Let’s see how familiar you are with Christmas and holiday traditions.

But before we go ahead, let me give you a brief about these different categories, for some context. Go through these before attempting the quiz.
