Looking back: My Year 2015 in Travel
As 2015 is ending, taking a look back on how it has been. Every month there was some travel or the other to keep me refreshed and did manage to visit lots of new countries this year thanks to Europe trip, but still what I traveled is nowhere close to some of the full time travel bloggers. But then, I have a full time day job to attend 5 days a week so I am content with whatever little I could travel over weekends or with leaves or on work.
My 2015 flight map above [find out how to generate one].
Quick month by month recap of 2015.
January
Kambala (buffalo race), visited Coimbatore for Zone hotel review. Safari SOUL Drive in Goa,
Feb: Aero India- Not a very pleasant experience- have decided not to bother buying visitors ticket next time onwards because of substandard facilities and attention given to paying visitors.
March: Hot air balloon ride in Pune, Paragliding with Nirvana in Pune, Only 2 major adventure sports I indulged in this year. Also visited Mahabaleshwar for the first time.
April- Visited AOL global HQ in Kanakapura and Blr. Also indulged in a session on dirt bike riding at CS Santosh's Big Rock motopark in Kolar. Flew a microlight plane again this year (ZenAir)

August, September – 2 months in Europe, explored Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Lithuania, Finland, Switzerland and Norway
October- visit to Native place, had few trips to Mahabalipuram/Pondy with guests and Mumbai on month end for BNLF
November- Two potential international trips cancelled- Bali and another one. Mumbai, Bengaluru and a bunch of South Indian temple towns were visited.
December- Goa again for one last Tata Event of the year and a visit to native place because of Chennai floods.
