3. In Transit.

It’s been more than 8 years I am travelling international. Although haven’t extensively travelled compared to many of my folks around; still I feel like penning down some statistical information (show shining).

I have visited 9 countries in last 8 years – (in chronological order) Cyprus, Canada, UAE, Egypt, Israel, UK, USA, Thailand and New Zealand (Currently, I am in Wellington, New Zealand).

In this span, I have changed 41 flights, experienced 17 international terminals (excluding Mumbai) and grounded in 18 countries. I have been served by 13 different airlines. Food wise, I always chose to be more of a monotonous though as I am a vegetarian and in most of the connections, I have piled on (that was sarcastic) Asian Vegetarian Meal. Other than this, had opted for Jain Meal wherever possible.
