Greetings ! I cannot believe that a month is already over and it looks like the year will just whizz past.  How did your month go ? Welcome to this edition of Journeys and Jottings

October has been such an amazing month with a fifteen day trip to Indonesia with more than 50 people – bloggers, instagrammers, vloggers, social media influencers, photographers from around the world. Besides the destination which was quite breathtaking -( Yes, Indonesia was a surprise and am not just referring to Bali – but more on that later), it was very enriching to meet so many people and learn from them. You will read a lot about Indonesia on the blog this month, but before that, I would encourage all of you to participate in this once in a lifetime contest, where you can get a holiday in Komodo Island in Indonesia – Pink beaches, azure waters, snorkeling, scuba diving and encounters with the komodo dragon in its habitat.

Contest alert – win a dream trip to Komodo Island 

Komodo Dragon – The monarch of all he surveys

November looks crazy on the travel front.. first, there is a holiday on the cards with the husband for the anniversary and then I visit Bhutan. There is Mumbai coming up as well while Singapore is likely to happen too.

On the blog, the regulars will be back..Indonesia will be the Destination of the Month, so do look out for the stories. Its always a challenge for me to blog on the go and wit so many travels around, the pace is a bit slow – so bear with me .

Meanwhile, I am getting completely obsessed with Instagram. Its my latest addiction in the social media space and if you are not following me, then please do – I am on www.instagram.com/lakshmisharath .  I look forward to seeing you there as well.
