Road Trip

I got the opportunity recently to do what few have done....travel all across Pakistan by road. From Karachi all the way up to Peshawar, a whole month of travelling in unbearable heat, sleeping in hotel rooms that had never heard the word comfort mentioned inside them, avoiding solid food that would land you in hospital instantly.....but all of this was made bearable by the amazing sights and the wonderful hospitality of the people I met throughout the country. 30 days and 28 cities....it was truly epic and in light of certain things happening in my life now I think it was fitting that I got to take this trip. I can now proudly say I have seen most of our country:

Karachi - Hyderabad - Sanghar - Khipro - Umerkot - Sukkur - Ghotki - Mirpur Mathelo - Ubaro - Rahim Yar Khan - Dera Ghazi Khan - Kahror Pakka - Fazal Pur - Muzzafargarh - Sahiwal - Lahore - Gujranwala - Faisalabad - Silanwali - Toba Tek Singh - Jhelum - Dina - Mangla - Mirpur - Rawalpindi - Islamabad - Mardan - Peshawar

The one thing that stands out among all the places I went is the hospitality and friendliness of the people.
