Hello and Welcome to Passports and Bags Travel Blog!


Passports and Bags is a travel blog – an international destinations guide – featuring our own personal travel experiences around the world. It’s an international destinations guide that will hopefully help you plan your trips as it’s full of useful information and descriptions of places and culture.

My wife and I have been traveling a lot since 2021. We’ve been to over 40 countries so far and many more are being planned as I write this blog.

Some random photos from our various trips in the photo gallery below:

We didn’t start off with the idea of starting a blog. But as the word got around about our travels, friends and family wanted to know how we did it. They would ask for tips and advice on where to go, how to plan, how to budget, what to see, etc. So we thought why not create an “international destinations guide”. We thought sharing our stories and experiences might be of some benefit.

Travelling Is So Much Fun, And Also a Great Way to Learn About the World

International travelling allows us to learn about and appreciate new cultures and traditions and understand different points of view. I feel it’s the best way to expand our understanding of one another as human beings and to learn to respect each other. God knows we need that more than ever these days.

When you visit new places you want to check out the main attractions of course. But don’t forget to just wander around also, and explore the neighborhoods, go shopping and dining where the locals go, and take in and experience more of the local life as well.

When travelling overseas, it’s also good to learn a few words of the language spoken there. It helps connect and build rapport with the people of the land.

What Motivates People to Travel?

People have all kinds of reasons for hitting the road or hopping on a plane. Adventure, relaxation, culture, nature, self-discovery, bucket lists, etc.

Each traveler has his/her own mix of these motivations, making every journey unique.

What’s yours?
