Happy 1st birthday Solopassport!

It’s celebration time! I remember when my friend Akshata suggested that I start writing my travel stories and publishing them as blogs, I thought what a crazy idea. I was scared and skeptical, but I decided to take a leap of faith and created solopassport. Today, its the birthday time and my solopassport has turned 1 year old.

In this post, I want to recollect all the appreciations, photo features and the collaborative travel blogs that solopassport has received in the past one year.

My first blog: The red rocky walls – Kings Canyon it is!
