Winter Travelling For People Who Hate Winters, Like Me!

Before I even start writing, I want to tell you that you might not like me as a person after reading this. What I am going to say is something that is the truth of my life. Also, the fact about me that people find hard to digest!

I HATE WINTERS

Yaa… I hate to travel in winters, I hate to get out of my bed in winters and I hate to inhale the cold air in winters. I at times wish I would have been a snowbird. That way I could have shifted to a warmer place the moment the universe decides to give my lungs a pleasure of ice cold oxygen. No, no, no… I don’t want that!

When the cold air bites my nose and my ears, I wish to go into hibernation like a chipmunk.

I don’t understand the excitement people have during winters. I don’t even want to get out of bed. So if you too are a winter survivor, you will be able to relate to a few things mentioned below that I do during winters:

1. 

“Winter is the perfect weather to travel and explore places”, “Places look beautiful when covered in snow”, is what people tell me. I want to ask them if the place that they are talking about, is even visible in the snow. And in winters if I get out of my house to explore places, I would end up looking something like this…

I wear sixty not six layers of clothes. And I am not counting gloves and socks and scarf and woollen hat.

2.

I hunt for a warm-blooded person and torture that person with my ice-cold fingers. See I am a nice person, the problem is that the winters turn me into a monster. Also, I gulp hot food and also drink a lot of hot tea and coffee which I hate during summers *_*

3.

The shower is a mission. I stand two feet away from the water till it is skin burning hot. Touching the cold water is torture for my skin and nerves.

4.

I have excuses ready for being late. Because leaving the bed isn’t that easy in winters. The struggle is real! I will rather fight a war (in my bed) than get out of my bed.

5.

My skin refuses to accept me. It becomes dry and to tackle that I keep a moisturiser handy with me. It will always be in my bag. I forget how warmth feels on my skin. I feel in winters my skin isn’t capable of feeling anything.

6.

I am not a sweet tooth person but in summers I might look at icecreams. Winters make me repel all icecreams and cold drinks. Yes, judge all you want to but I feel scared of ice cream touching my tooth.

7.

When travelling, I always try to book a hotel that has a room heating facility and hot water facility 24*7. Cause even when I am travelling, I am not leaving the room…

8.

Bonfire is my heaven! I get so close to the bonfire that I might burn my hair, but who cares, I’ll be warm!

9.

I look for warm spots on a sofa, chair, table, tree, heaven. Let other people warm your spot, be a nice host and let them sit on your favourite spot and then when they get up, grab the place!

10.

Warm places are at the top of my list for travelling. I don’t think a winter destination is the “romantic” place for me! It’s too cold for me to feel romantic!

If you feel the same, you have my sympathy!

I keep waiting for the season to end and think about what to do next in the coming season. I might start hating Game of Thrones as well. Winter keeps coming there!
