About Galati
Who's Galati?
Hi everyone! My name is Laila Kasuri - but I use Galati for my travel stuff. I didn't quit my job to travel. In fact, quite the opposite. I work internationally, and it is precisely my job that has allowed me to travel and live in a few different places around the world. I recognize what a privilege that is, and am extremely grateful for that. Along the way, I found myself a travel buddy or two! So whether you are solo, couple or family, there is likely a blog post that will resonate with you!
Other hats I wear include a love for history, an enthusiasm to read (and write) science fiction, and occasional random writing on Medium.
How it Began?
Galati Travels didn't start off as a blog! It began as an informal walking tour through the older parts of Lahore, my hometown. It expanded into unofficial trips and tours for friends and families, whenever they would visit me! Thus, I created this blog to share my adventures exploring the world, with friends and family! Soon enough, with more countries came more adventures and more stories.
What You Will Find Here
Stories and Anecdotes
My blog is focused more on stories and less on tips. However, those that are interested in history, culture and traditional activities are likely to enjoy this blog. But I focus a lot on random knowledge that you might not find on Wikitravel. That's more my niche. I hope I can throw some really cool (maybe random) information around historical sights, get you excited about deeper travel, and maybe cross paths with you.
Learning
As I work on the field internationally, I have had the privilege to be "stationed" in different places, where I have engaged with locals, academics, and experts in different fields. This has allowed me to explore a place better and deeper. This deeper exploration of a place, via local resources and knowledge, has given me access to curious discoveries that might otherwise remain out of sight for most casual tourists.
