Hello Lovely Reader! Welcome to my Fernwehrahee Travel Blog! I’m so glad you’re here 🙂, read below to know more about me and this website!❤️
Who I am and My Story
I am Mayuri Patel, Born and brought up in India but living abroad since 2019. I woman in her 30’s who’s called 3 different countries home: India (my home country), the United States of America, and currently United Kingdom. I am currently living in Essex County, UK, just 20 miles from Beautiful London!
I left the Corporate Job in India as an Electrical Engineer to pursue my biggest passion — traveling, diving deep into other cultures, admiring outdoor life and sharing all the experiences with you through blogging and content creation.
From a very young age, I always had dream about all these places in the world I wanted to see. But back then though, I didn’t really have the option to travel much ! So I followed the Path to get the degree and working as an Engineer in the field ! And as I started earning, my endless love for the travel began!
After coming back from my first trip to Rajasthan, India in 2011, I started exploring more of India! I hopped on my first flight in 2014 at the age of 25 years, and then explored almost 19 states of India in Past few years. I really love the diversity of my home country!
Moving to the United States
I worked in a corporate job for almost 14 years. But in the mean time, my husband got chance to move to the USA for work. I was living in India due to my career and job prospects. We lived in a long-distance relationship for 5 years! But I was very tired from it, so I left my corporate job, and moved to the USA!
And moving to the United States, changed my life again, in a good way! USA is also very diverse with lots of travel opportunities! I fell in love with outdoor adventures and hiking! We did so many roadtrips, visited National Parks, beaches and many places in the USA! I really fell in love with the country and endless opportunities it has offered!
We lived near the USA Capitol Washington DC for 3 years! During this time, explored lots of places around the East Coast USA including New York, Philadelphia, New Hampshire and Vermont in fall, Blue Ridge Parkway and so much more. I didn’t just travel around, I experienced the Beautiful America!
After that again we moved near Atlanta and lived there for 2 years! During our time in Georgia, I started exploring so many nearby places, including state Parks, waterfalls, hikes, and took endless weekend trips near Atlanta. That opened new perspective to me, you always don’t need to go far away to travel, you can also explore your nearby places for the change of scenery!
Moving to the UK
After living for 5 years in the United States, again we moved to the UK. My husband works in Project Engineering, which tends to be in demand to some extent all over the world. So, every now and then we keep moving! That said, UK is now home since a year!
In all honesty, I never thought I would move to the UK. Moving across different countries gave me chance to improve my professional english! Initially I though moving from the USA to UK will be difficult but, I just fell in love with the place!
Though weather here isn’t my liking, but absolutely love the lifestyle here! People are friendly, culture is amazing and there is so much to explore in English countryside!
Currently, I am living near London, just 30 minutes away, the city I always dreamt to visit! I really love exploring London whenever I get chance! Living near London has its own perks!
All in all, traveling fulfills me because it’s where I feel at home, and at ease. I love diving deep through hidden gems, meeting fellow passengers, and making every new, unknown place feel a bit more like home. And moving across continents give me so many such chances!
What is the meaning of my blog??
‘Fernweh‘ is a German word that means “one feels sick when at home too long” and ‘Rahee’ is a Hindi name that means ‘”Traveler”. It aptly suits my curious traveler soul!
I love curating and planning my trips as much as I love taking them. From researching destinations, curating Itineraries, and sorting transport everything is done by me. My travel style is affordable luxury type. I love to explore famous tourist places (bucket list items) and some offbeat routes to little quiet towns. Clicking architecture and colorful places around the world is my favorite!
I have explored almost 27 states of the United States, and many places of Georgia! Hiking is my newfound love. So you can expect lots of National parks Itineraries, Weekend trip ideas, finding cute coffee shops at new destinations, and lots of road trip guides around the USA.
I also love to get tanned on sandy beaches, Hello Florida! I can walk for miles for the best Sunrise and sunset views. I always love to try at least one vegetarian dish during my travel, because I feel local food connects you with the culture!
You can read about so many USA Destination travel guides on my site especially Atlanta, Washington DC, and numerous National Parks.
Besides traveling, I enjoy reading, trying speciality Coffee Shops, Watching movies, and spending time with my friends and family.
