86- Travel Flashcards
(51 cards)
Speaking of a journey that is still fresh in my memory, I would say it is the last travel that I arranged. I have always been interested in visiting historical sites. However, my previous trip was to Daryasar – one of the dream places of almost every adventure lover. Initially, I had decided to travel by bus as Daryasar is approximately a six-hour drive from my place, and as I have a backache, I didn’t want to be driving much. But I changed my mind all because of one video on Instagram. While scrolling through this social media platform, I stumbled upon a video that showcased lush green mountains and paddy fields on the way to the area. The mesmerizing beauty of the way compelled me to go in my own car, so that I could pull over any time I wished and enjoy the beauty of its nature.
