Amanda
was feeling damn nostalgic today. It has been 13 years since she walked
on the route to her alma mater. She could actually see a calico of her
images, toying with her friends in bits and pieces, across that route. A
short journey via that route rewinded her school-memories as if those
were playing on a bioscope or something.
Was
it with Amanda only? Or do we all share a special connection with
routes? How many times have you seen yourself walking on those roads
that were your inextricable companions to several destinations that
you’d set from time-to-time? In fact, even if you replay your good old
college days, a major part of the nostalgic drive will inadvertently
cast the routes you trod with your friends.
That’s
how our memories are essentially wired. We could still connect with the
route we took when we went to the school for the first time. We could
still live over the excitement when our bulging bags leaned out to pave
the way for light trendy bags, and school uniform transformed into
fashionable attires and cool accessories in college. That nervous yet
ambitious walk to the office. A surreal walk with the first date on a
beach or some other romantic spot. Believe it or not, you have pictures
of all these, and many more life-changing routes deeply ingrained in
your sub-conscious.
In
Project World Tour, we have endeavored to weave those all important
routes, and several others, into a series of knowledge sharing postings
across multitude of platforms. The aim here is to build a community of
and for travelers where they go beyond sharing about places. Instead,
the community will further magnify their sharing by talking about
different routes that run through as veins in any city.
Not
just that, contribution in the Project World Tour can fetch you some
exciting takeaways that you can show off on your friends. We are on
Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google Plus, YouTube, and all the popular
platforms. Just enter #ProjectWorldTour in the search boxes of your
favorite social media site and join the league of the extraordinary
travelers waiting for like-minded people like YOU.

“Columbus”,
“Captain Cook”, “Vasco Da Gama”! Now what’s the first thing that
crashed into your mind for that fraction of a second when you were
reading these names. Perhaps, pictures of stout European men clad in
metal buttoned sailor suits, wearing the American dixie cups or the
French “Bachi” bonnets on their heads. Apart from the attire, the
thought that goes perfectly moussed up with their names is the very
thrill of exploration and adventure these iconic voyagers must have
enjoyed. Sailing and beating those soaring ripples to a destination
unknown, that’s what traveling and exploration is all about. Rest is
just a pleasure-seeking exercise to say the least.
We
always wish to feel that thrill of unraveling something not very known
to the world, at least to our neighbors and friends. We do show off our
serendipitous explorations to our friends, and never miss a chance to
tell them that how mediocre their trip to that place was just because
they couldn’t find the place you somehow managed to discover. Having
said that, some of us do have that honest urge to see what the world has
to dish up. Curiosity to know the very planet they inhabit is what
actually drives these souls. And then there’s a whole class of travel
aficionados who simply live for traveling and wouldn’t mind crossing an
ocean to know about an obscure and remote island somewhere.
Whatever
may be the reason, owing to the very restless nature of human beings,
we simply can’t stay glued to one place for long. Every third weekend we
call friends, we chalk out plans to hit the not-so-far destinations,
and then immolate those with lethargy, or sometimes with time and
resources constraints we suffer on and off.
Just
to save those plans from random butchering with giving due respect to
your lethargy and the sheer willingness to achieve everything while
sitting on a bean-bag, we announce the launch of “Project World Tour”. This
ambitious project is a part of RouteIt, a distinguished travel app,
which houses the world’s choicest routes for you to dig into. Under this
aspirational project, we’ll take you to different places while you’re
logged into your favorite social network, be it Twitter, Facebook,
Tumblr, and Google Plus.
The
aim of the Project World Tour is to make you aware of the places you
always wanted to be at, and that too in an engaging way, giving you a
feeling closer to the real world dynamism. In addition to virtual traveling, the Project also aims at building a community of like-minded
travelers to instill an environment conducive for sharing. There will be
contests and quizzes, rewards and awards, and lot more up for the grab.
So all fellow travelers, join the Project World Tour and discover the world in a way you might have never done before.
