“I don’t want to be limited by my trepidations, not anymore. I want to do everything.”

“Journeys Beyond and Within” by Priyanka Gupta is a vivacious odyssey where she has captured her precarious lifestyle and adventurous yet soulful journeys after quitting her successful career at corporate sector. Every Indian parents want to witness their daughter married at the age of 29 when she has a secured job too and the author’s parents are not an exception but the author is not satisfied with the common procedure of an Indian girl’s life. So, she has chased her dreams in order to be happy and find her true entity.

The solo woman traveler from India has intricately woven the breathtaking hikes, exhilarating treks and the intense life lessons she has learned from the trips. From the vibrant scenarios of London and Paris to the mighty Himalayan Peak, the travelogue spans seamlessly and reminds the readers that travel is not only about visiting new places but also about finding one’s true entity and learning new things to embrace the growth.

I can relate to the author’s conceptions to break a life that she doesn’t adore at some places of the book and I really appreciate the thought that we should live our lives on our own terms without any expectation from others to clap for us. The author makes us understand that travel broadens our minds, creates yearning to live more and renders a celestial feeling with her engaging narrative technique. The readers, who love to read travel memoir, can delve into the book.

“At least I learned that what you fear often turns out much easier than you thought. Difficulties will always come unannounced, whether you do the activity or not. Then you do the best you can.”
