Hey, I am Jithin.
Like many other decisions in my life, one day out of an impulse, I started a blog and named it “Trablogger”. It was on a sunny day of September. The very first day of that month. Yes, on 1st Sep. 2014 Trablogger took the first step.
And it happened to be one of the best decisions so far. It gave me confidence, a direction, a sense of purpose and a lot of good friends.
I started this blog to share some of my travel memories along with a few pictures from my previous trips. Then I got hooked. I started to Travel, Capture and share the stories here. And I have fallen deeply in love with Visual Story Telling.
After a year of blogging, I found myself writing a book based on my travel stories and publishing it.
And now I travel, I capture and now I share it here in this blog.
Sounds cliché right? Because it is! 😉
And I want to do this full time. Travel. Photograph. Write. Share the Stories. And Repeat.
Well Canon EOS 1100 is my constant Travel Companion, who helps me to take you for a Photo walk.
Want to go for a photo walk to Ghost town of Dhanushkodi or through the curvalicious roads of Kerala?
Don’t worry, it won’t cost you anything. I do understand the role of the factor called MONEY in our travels. I am more of a economical or rather a “cheap” traveller. I travel on thinner than shoe string budgets. Some of the examples are here.
Are you a hardcore traveller looking for some adventure in a touristy place and want to spend as low as $2 or 100 rupees per day for a stay? Read the Secrets of Murudeshwar.
I tried hitch hiking, couch surfing, ate street food, slept in tents, took heavily crowded trains, travelled in general compartment for 24 hours or more. And through these experiences I have learned some ways of having a better travel experience with lesser cost.
So here I will take you for a photo walk through some of the cheapest travels with richest memories, some off beat locations, some unique cultures, some random photographs of people, places or anything.
If you are still reading this, I need you here. Follow button is on the top, just saying 😉 Leave a hi, I would love to talk to you.

I love photographs though I admit I have a bad eye and photographs are one of the many good things of technology I think. And traveling, who doesn’t love to travel. I once thought of packing up a bag and traveling around my island but being a girl sucks. Looking forward to seeing more of your work 🙂

Thank you Suganiya for going through my blog. Indeed travelling and photography is nice. But you are travelling to so many wonderful places and creating so much better images through the books you are reading. I think that compensates it to certain extend 🙂
