Have you ever felt the irresistible pull of wanderlust, that undeniable urge to explore the uncharted territories? I certainly have, and recently, I had the privilege of setting foot in a place I had never been before – Samtse. Upon the kind invitation of the President of Samtse College, I had the opportunity to visit Samtse.
The first few hours in Samtse were
a whirlwind of sensory overload. The southern architecture was a fascinating
blend of old and new buildings, creating a unique skyline that beckoned me to
explore. The not so bustling streets, awash with a kaleidoscope of colors and
noises is the usual way greeting northerners like me.
As I entered the college gate, I
took a picture and made a story update. This was seen by my childhood friend
Selden and my college mate Pem Deki. This was how a dinner with these beautiful ladies ensued.
I have a friend named Purna, now undergoing
his Masters studies in Samtse, let me borrow his bran new slippers for four
days as I had forgotten to pack mine due to the wanderlust excitement.
The laughter with new friends, the unexpected adventures, learning on Aussie[i] cultures– these are the moments that stay etched in my heart. Travel memories have a unique power; they have the ability to transport you back in time and evoke emotions like no other.
Each new place you visit adds a
layer to your identity, making you more open-minded, adaptable, and empathetic.
This is what I have learned from this trip to Samtse.
