Love Locks on the way to the Sky Bridge in Langkawi  During the long weekend for Hari Raya (Ramadan) my friends and I decided to head to Langkawi, a beautiful island in Malaysia. It's crazy how much I love sandy beaches and clear water, anything to do with nature actually! We went to places that were totally "heartworthy"! It would be absolutely unfair if I did not leave my trademark heart imprint at these gorgeous destinations.  ❤  At the top- Sky Tower-Langkawi The view after taking the Sky Cab ride across mountains and sea.  The amazing view from Tubotel , Langkawi. Woke up to this breathtaking view two days in a row and was mesmerized every single time.  Finding love in hopeless places! Right outside the 3D Arts Museum This location was a part of the Island Hopping. The amazing view at Dayang Bunting Marble Geoforest Park, Langkawi                           ...

God made weekends for a  reason. We are babies, toddlers, children, teens and then adults In the midst of all this, there are two days in a week  Just those two days when we need to get away Get away from others, from ourselves and maybe for ourselves Move away from the concrete jungles Embrace flora and fauna Do it with people you love People who make you smile, laugh and give you a reason to look forward to things! This Sunday my friends and I decided to visit the famous Coney Island in Singapore.  It felt amazing to walk through the park amongst so many plants, trees and beach areas. PERFECT SUNDAY SCENES ! That's a very little Heart ❤ amidst the water and the trees! Coney Island, Singapore, May 2017

The vast ocean is always calling out to me. Calling out to me to look at it, feel it and get engulfed in it's beauty. This is true beauty. Beauty without boundaries or reason. Just free flowing crazy natural gorgeousness. Doing 💙 a lil too often. But the ocean stirs my heart! #dealwithit #manly #ManlyBeach #Australia #australiadiaries #StudentLife #studyandtravel #sundaywellspent #ByTheSea #myfavourite #travel #mytravelgram #traveldiaries #sydneyigers A post shared by Anushree Tricannad (@anushreetricannad) on Sep 11, 2016 at 8:59am PDT One of my first outings in Sydney, Australia.

Someday I will move mountains. This time I just decided to climb one. Because this place definitely deserves a heart! 💚 #chikmagalur #karnataka #viewfromthetop #instakarnataka #longweekend #muchneeded #summertime #escape #travel #travelgram #mytravelgram #traveldiaries #travelbug #indiastories #upinthehills #nammakarnataka #withmyfavourites #wanderlust #mountainsarecalling #indiatravelgram #tripprworld #travelwithme #summerescape #vacay A post shared by Anushree Tricannad (@anushreetricannad) on Apr 29, 2017 at 12:47pm PDT A summer break from the heat of Bangalore, Chikmagalur, Karnataka, India April 2017

Traveled through this iconic bridge a million times.  On foot, by train and by ferry.  Gaped at it from all directions. Marvelled at its sheer beauty. Read the story of its existence. Some images get imprinted in your minds for forever. This is definitely one of them. Harbour Bridge,  Opposite the  Sydney Opera House,  December 2016

I am a too many things in one kind of person. Beach Bum. Water Baby. Top of the Rock. Look at the Mountains. Lets make a Snowman. Sit on the back of a Camel. And so much more. There are some places that I've visited that are so beautiful, tranquil and out of this world that they deserve a special mention. When I close my eyes these are the places that pop up in my mind in slideshow mode. The ❤ Collection will showcase a series of pictures from the places that I have traveled to that literally " Have My Heart ". ❤ #1 Batam, Indonesia July 2016

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its pristine beaches , beautiful temples and street food. There are a host of Indonesian delicacies that one would come across while walking along any road in this beautiful island. The food they serve in these small eateries ( “Warungs”) looks tempting and is too difficult to resist. Since the Indonesian Rupaiah runs in lakhs don’t be surprised if you are asked to pay up two lakh rupees for a simple dish. On my recent trip to Bali I ended up gorging on authentic Balinese/Indonesian cuisine ; right from street vendors to fancy hotels. The best part is they customize their non-veg dishes to suit the vegetarian palate too. Here are a few items that I devoured on the trip and absolutely loved. 1) Bakso This is a traditional Indonesian delicacy and one of the most popular ones. You will find plenty of street vendors selling Bakso along the streets of Bali. It is an eclectic mix of  tangy,spicy soup, meat balls, wontons, tofu and noodles....

I've gone to Gokarna three times in a row. 2013, 2014 and 2015 and I know the three times is most definitely going to increase to uncountable number of times. Gokarna is actually a temple town in Karnataka,India. Devout people come there only to visit the Gokarnanatha Temple in the main town and see  (dirty) Gokarna Beach. We chose to go away from the usual track and explore the beaches on the other side of town. The first time around we took a train from Bangalore (Yeshwanthpur Station) and got off at the Gokarna Road railway station. The next time we boarded a bus from Navrang Stop at Rajajinagar and got off at the Gokarna Bus Stop. The third time around we boarded the bus from the same stop as above but got off at Kumta since we decided on having a detour before heading to Gokarn (Goks as we call it). Note : I might have to include some images from the internet as my hard disk has got corrupted and I have lost a significant number of pictures :( THINGS TO DO IN GOKARNA ...
