Hey there and welcome to the DZ Gallivanter blog through which I want to share with you my travel journeys and lessons learnt from exploring the well and less travelled destinations!
I originally come from Jijel – a beautiful seaside town in the north east of Algeria. My childhood was spent between its beaches and mountains, and to me it was the pearl of the world …. until I discovered the art of wandering into the unknown in search for new experiences, a sense of freedom and the real meaning to life. That’s when I realised that each place on this earth benefits from its own beauty that one can enjoy through different lenses, and that each culture is worth exploring and understanding in person and with an open mind.
Today, I am based in London and work full time in the heart of its financial district, but this didn’t stop me from continuing to explore this beautiful world. In fact, if anything, the demanding city lifestyle has motivated me to travel more and become adventurous in my choices of destinations to escape the stressful City life and routine, and to satisfy my curiosity and thirst for new experiences.
With this blog, I want to share with you my travel stories, experiences and lessons learnt from travelling solo and with others. I want to inspire you to travel especially to less known destinations, and to immerse yourselves in different cultures with an open mind. After all, travelling is part of the university of life – it has shaped my life significantly (making me a better person I hope :)) through the people I met, the cultures I explored and the stories I was told. So, why not enrol!
