Special thanks to Mango Lady Diaries for nominating me to this amazing award!  Mango Lady Diaries is a travel blog created by Madhurima. She shares her travel experiences, perceptions, thoughts, itineraries and tips to give you the best possible virtual journey in her way and inspire you to travel whenever you can. Ever since she turned 22, she has been travelling regularly, balancing my studies, job and other activities.

As part of the rules of nomination, below I am sharing seven random facts about myself.

Seven random facts

1. My first solo trip was to Germany when I was 16 years old. It was a 3 week youth camp. I barely spoke any German back then, but it was a lot of fun and I met some amazing people from all over the world.
2.   I love mountains! Even though I live in the area with no mountains at all, I still own a pair of mountain skis and try to hit the local hills as often as possible.
3. Some day I would like to make a long road trip by motorcycle.
4. My favorite destination so far has been Madeira (Portugal)
5. I love hiking. My best hike so far was 16km long at Samaria Gorge (Crete, Greece). Took me around 5 hours, but the nature was stunning!
6. I own a little Toyota Corolla and planning a road trip through Finland all the way up to North Cape this year.
7. Even though I had many ideas, writing a blog has been the best dyi business so far.
