The Most Random Thoughts Travellers Get While Travelling

A mind of a writer is sometimes restless to the point that we think of such random things at any given moment, but I’m sure we’re not the only ones who do so when we travel. Amidst the wonder and discovery we experience as travellers, there comes a point in our journey where all of us are guilty of thinking the most random things that other people might laugh at if they just knew what our brains were telling us at that moment. Some thoughts are amusing while some are brought about by watching too many action movies. You can probably relate to these too.
