Infected by the wanderlust bug, our generation has always added “travel more” to the bucket of New Year resolutions. Sadly, it’s easier said than done. It seldom happens that we actually drop everything, quit our jobs and just backpack across the world. Inevitably, we just end up living vicariously through the travels of others and just continue with our grind.
But, this couple had, had enough of that and decided to make their dreams a reality. However, their travel journal is not an ordinary amalgamation of pictures in different locations. They have added their own sweet twist to it – a kiss.
Shyam and Anya have set on their quest to cover 40 countries in 365 days.
The couple makes it a point to photograph themselves kissing each other at every location. They have named their quest #kissisit and honestly, we dig it!
1. And, so it begins…
2. Forget the kiss, I am concentrating on the food.
3. What do you do when you’re in minus 40 degrees? You kiss, obviously!
4. Not to mention you are all cozy inside a ger.
5. Breathtaking!
6. The fizzy soda isn’t the only thing bubbling I’m guessing!
7. Love conquers the Great Wall of China too.
8. Isn’t it beautiful?
9. Spreading happiness everywhere!
10. Sharing sweet and sour kisses all over the world.
11. There’s an interesting story behind the Shaolin Temple kiss.
12. I can’t decide who’s cuter… The Panda wins!
13. You guys rock! (Sorry, I’ll stop now.)
14. Pankhe ke piche kya hai?
15. The pillars make for an amazing backdrop.
16. The Geisha has another thing to add to her memoirs.
17. Was the crane made by Michael Scofield? (What up, ‘Prison Break’ reference!)
18. Liquor and a kiss are a great combination, I’ve heard.
19. He is the Yin to her Yang. ?
20. Ahhh…few things beat the glory of the Sun.
21. I have no words for this!
22. If you went on a world tour and didn’t go to Bali, did you even go on a tour?
23. Some rice lovin’.
24. This reminds of a Bollywood song!
25. Be careful of the sulphur fumes, though!
26. Who said a banana leaf is just good for eating?
27. We hope you didn’t eat the Durian before kissing but then again, it’s kinda cute!
Bonus: Remember what I told you about the Shaolin Temple kiss? This was the original idea behind the Shaolin Temple kiss but that couldn’t happen because the Monks weren’t on board. Would’ve made an amazing shot though!
The couple also tried to economise on their trips by buying fake student ID cards in China which allowed them discounted tickets to museums, amusement parks etc. We are absolutely obsessed with this couple and can’t wait to see where they travel next. How about you?
