This
segment is all about travels and tours from all across globe where you be will
introduced to different parts of the world, the people, their culture, their
cuisine, fashion, and some "must visit" sites. TRIPPING will feature travellers, travel bloggers and anyone
willing to share their travel experiences with Chanty's Fashion and Lifestyle.
Tripping's first travel
enthusiast is Julian Warner. He is taking us on some of his travels and
adventures. Born and raised in Antigua and Barbuda, one of the beautiful
islands in the Caribbean. Julian studied Travel and Tourism in the United
States after receiving a scholarship. It was at this point he caught the
proverbial travel bug.
Having
travelled the USA extensively, he was impressed by how diverse the country was
in art, architecture, food, music and much more. This was his inspiration to
journey across the world in a bid to explore more. His travels spans 5
continents, 48 countries and over 200 cities. He stated, his experiences have
gone from being charmed, amazed, mesmerized and enlightened. All these
positives are an encouragement for others to explore the world if and when they
can.
Recounting
some special moments of countries visited, he disclosed that he was humbled by
the grace of the Tibetans. They welcomed him with open arms and unconditional
love. In the island of Samoa he encountered a landscape which is righteous,
with pristine beaches and was impressed by the rugged mountains. In Rio De
Janeiro Brazil, he found the Favelas both intense and fascinating. His travel
to Africa took him to Ethiopia where he found the people gentile and very
religious. Visiting at a time of famine and hunger, he stated it was sad seeing
people beg for food on the streets, a picture of Ethiopia we are all familiar
with but thank God it is different today. The sites he explored while there
were Lake Tana a distributary from the Nile River, he saw Lucy the ancient
fossil, and also spent time with a local Oromo Family in Nazareth at a yard in
the Haile Sellasie's church of worship. When it came to food, he gave the
Japanese top marks saying the culinary experience both refreshing and
tantalizing.
Travelling rejuvenates an avid traveller like
Julian. Ancient architecture, art,
traditional cultures, music, food and landscapes are great inspirations for
him. His ultimate joy comes from connecting with the natives wherever he goes,
he tries to understand how they live, work and communicate with each other.
These experiences he takes back with him to share with others giving informed
knowledge about the different countries and her indigenous peoples.
Julian
is an avant-garde/eclectic dresser, he is that guy who does style and panache,
fully dressed on a beach and is not out of place. He lives in Toronto Canada,
speaks Italian and is a part-time lecturer in Hospitality and Tourism studies.
Tripping wishes
Julian many more exciting travel adventures post COVID-19. We expect him to
hopefully go and explore other parts of Africa like Nigeria as his DNA tests
showed he is 88% Luhya, 8% Khoisan and 89% Yoruba.
