Welcome to My World of Adventures
Hello, fellow travelers and curious souls! I’m Awais Gul, the founder of TideTrips and your personal guide to the wonders of our beautiful planet. My journey as a globetrotter began with a simple dream: to explore the unknown, embrace diverse cultures, and share the magic of travel with the world.
Born and raised in a small town, I always felt a calling to venture beyond the familiar. That spark of wanderlust ignited into a roaring flame when I took my first international trip in my early twenties. Since then, there’s been no looking back.
The European Odyssey
In 2022 and 2023, I embarked on an unforgettable journey across Europe, immersing myself in the rich tapestry of history, art, and culture that this diverse continent offers. My travels took me through:
Each country left an indelible mark on my soul, offering unique experiences that shaped my perspective on life and travel:
Poland captivated me with its resilient spirit and stunning blend of medieval charm and modern vibrancy. From the historic streets of Krakow to the poignant reminders of history in Warsaw, Poland taught me the power of perseverance and the importance of remembering our past.
Italy was a feast for all senses. The aroma of fresh pasta in Rome, the artistic wonders of Florence, and the romantic canals of Venice painted a picture of a country deeply in love with life, beauty, and good food. Italy reminded me to slow down and savor every moment.
France epitomized elegance and culture. Beyond the iconic Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, I found myself enchanted by the quaint villages of Provence and the rugged beauty of the French Alps. France taught me the art of living well and appreciating the finer things in life.
Belgium surprised me with its understated charm. The medieval beauty of Bruges, the vibrant streets of Brussels, and the somber World War I memorials in Flanders offered a perfect blend of history, culture, and introspection. And let’s not forget the chocolate and beer!
Travel is not just about seeing new places; it’s about seeing with new eyes. Each journey changes us, broadens our horizons, and connects us to the beautiful tapestry of humanity.
