Into the book
From the Himalayas in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south, from the Bay of Bengal in the east to the deserts in the west… In this vast land, Indians welcome travelers in a variety of ways.
We meet various gods living in their eyes and are taken to another world.
---From "India"
Pakistani people are remembered for their sweet and fragrant smell, like a cup of warm chai.
Feeling the gentle gaze looking at the traveler, tension and guard are broken down.
The reason why I continue to miss it and suffer from the aftereffects even after leaving that place and going to another place is probably because of the kind people of Hunza who think of travelers as friends.
---From "Pakistan"
I often imagine myself standing in a scene from a movie.
The Trevi Fountain from Roman Holiday, the Colosseum from Gladiator, and even the Florence Duomo from Between Calm and Passion… Travel is a wonderful gift that narrows the gap between imagination and reality.
---From "Italy"
It is truly exciting and thrilling to travel around the world, feeling like the main character of the movie "Indiana Jones," to discover cultural heritage sites that exist all over the world.
The world heritage sites that we encounter naturally as we travel across many continents and countries are a special gift that travel provides.
---From "Morocco"
Chemistry isn't just between men and women or between friends.
For travelers, there are travel destinations that suit their chemistry.
You can only fully feel whether or not the chemistry is right when you go to the destination.
A famous travel destination may not be great for me, and a destination that everyone else says is not great may actually be impressive and great.
This is because various variables that can occur at a travel destination have a great impact on chemistry.
---From "Argentina"
Ah! It's here.
A picturesque scene unfolded, showing why people long to see the frozen Uyuni.
Far away, the mountains were within the lake, and the high clouds were wandering over the water.
A sight that you must see at least once in your life before it's too late was right before your eyes.
We meet various gods living in their eyes and are taken to another world.
