Top takeaways from TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

PW invited parents of Indus Valley World School, Kolkata to share their biggest learning from recent travel experiences

“Our road trip to Puri during the Durga Puja holidays last year was very exciting for us as for the first time, we covered a distance of more than 500 km one way in our own car. Our plan was to visit Puri beach, Jagannath temple, Konark temple with additional sight-seeing and fun activities in between. My daughter Shreyasi (class VIII) suddenly fell ill and that day’s plan went for a toss. In another travel experience, we visited a monument steeped in rich history yet poorly maintained and far from clean for which, tourists like us are responsible to a major extent. We learnt two important lessons. One that good health is a prerequisite for any travel. And secondly, we must take responsibility for the cleanliness of our surroundings else our time and money will go to waste” — Maitreyee Chakraborty, officer, Yes Bank, Kolkata
