For tourists, the idea of travel is often sold as a collection of picture-perfect beaches, luxury resorts, and Instagram-worthy moments. But for ardent travellers, who have travelled enough, seen enough, they know that the most memorable journeys are rarely planned. The real journey begins when flights are delayed, trains are unexpectedly cancelled, storms and rains take over the carefully planned itineraries or luggage goes missing. How you behave or how you handle these situations define you as a traveller.And perhaps, it is in these moments that Henry Ford's famous quote feels most relevant: "When everything seems to be going against…
