She very recently quit her job as a software engineer just to be a full time traveller. She has a fantastic blog on ‘The Wandering Soul’s Wander Tale’ where she has shared some of her most beautiful tales.
Countries Travelled: I count my travels not in terms of countries travelled to but stories collected. However, for the record, it’s 10.
Travel Tip: That we can never have full control over circumstances, in life and in travel. All we can do is adapt and make the best of the cards we’re dealt. Also, if the flight ticket you’ve been checking for a while suddenly shows an increased price, it’s okay to wait for a day or two. Usually the ticket price falls back to whatever you were shown before.
One way ticket Destination: I don’t think I have reached that state of zen yet where I’m completely satisfied with one destination for the rest of my life. But if I have to choose one, I’d say India where there’s so much to see and so much variety that I’d never get bored.

10. Mariellen Ward
We have come across multiple foreign as well as Indian travel bloggers who splendidly narrated their travel experiences around the world. Mariellen Ward would be a totally distinct blogger based in India as well as Canada since she has entertained her readers with innumerous articles, especially about India.
We can blindly believe that she has travelled all over India and learned the bizarre facets of India, unlike any other travellers. The curiosity she shares through her blog named, “Breathe Dream Go” will disturb any wanderer, surely. The promoter of women solo travelling has the concept of ‘meaningful adventure travel’ as her guide.
Countries Travelled: I don’t count countries, I count moments. Was I truly present for that stunning sunset? Was I open to the local people, able to see them and learn from them? Did I take time to really look around and see, hear, taste, smell?
Travel Tip: There’s a delicate balance between over-planning and spontaneity. Through experience I’ve learned that some things must be planned. For example, doing a web checkin for flights is critical for two reasons. One, airlines often overbook and if you don’t checkin ahead of time, you could get bumped. Two, you can pick a better seat. Booking your first night at a destination is a good idea. Then you can look around and find a better place or re-negotiate. With Airbnb, read the reviews VERY CAREFULLY.
One way ticket Destination: Well, I never want to leave India! I’m in India from about October to March every year, and as much as I love my country (Canada), friends and family, it’s always hard to leave. So many wonderful places to visit here, so many magical moments. There’s nowhere like India.

11. Parm Johal
The world seems to be quite unusual when we look through the eyes of Parm Johal, an avid traveller who has been trying to capture the colours of different destinations in a unique way. She is a Canadian with Indian roots.
Though her favorite travel moments were encrypted in Madrid, Tokyo and Istanbul, the arts, the culture, the architecture and lifestyle of Spain, Portugal, Japan, Argentina, Uruguay, Thailand, India etc amused her vividly. Pram Johal possesses a definite space among the famous travel writers’ circle and the way she achieves that particular space is through her vibrant blog page “Desi Globtrotter”. You can find her interesting articles in Conde Nast Traveller India, Huffington Post Canada, and AsiaRooms.com as well.
Countries Travelled: I’ve been to 25 countries on 5 continents to date. Other than the US and Mexico, the countries I’ve visited more than once include: UK (5 times); Spain (4 times); France (3 times); India (2 times). Time for me to explore more of India again!
Travel Tip: Check online for valid coupon codes before booking a travel package; I saved an additional $100 on my trip to Madrid by googling a valid promo code.
One way ticket Destination: Tokyo – it’s magnetic, edgy, fashion savvy, cosmopolitan, efficient, bizarre, cool, clean and uber modern. It’s taken over London and New York in my heart.

12. Sandeepa and Chetan
There is no doubt in that travelling will be a lot more fun if you are with your loved one and this makes Sandeepa and Chetan, two travel from India bloggers very special. This amazing couple with a desire to uncover the amazing beauties around the world has travelled to numerous destinations.
Their blog ‘SandeepaChetan’s’ Travel Blog unfolds the stories from their trips. They have very brilliantly captured each and every journey of their life in this blog.

Countries Travelled: Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, some parts of Paraguay and Colombia, New Zealand, Thailand, Malaysia – and of course, India. That’s 10.
Travel Tip: While looking for long haul flight tickets, instead of looking for direct tickets from A to B, check for A to B via C. You might get a better deal and you end up visiting one more place.
While returning to India from South America, tickets to Bangkok were cheaper than tickets to anywhere in India. Luckily we have visa on arrival arrangement with Thailand! So we ended up seeing one more country!
One way ticket Destination: We would love to call one of the Island we’ve visited home. Particularly Ilha Grande. The weather is perfect, and it’s Brazil – what’s not to fall in love!

As we all know, the lenses of SLR can create sweet stories of what it captures and this blog delivers the concepts Arun’s SLR has synced directly to the readers.
Countries Travelled: Six, so far
Travel Tip: A practice that has often worked well for me when I backpack is to book my first night at a place I am travelling to, and leave everything else open. This way, if I prefer to move to another area in the town a few days later, or if I discover another beautiful hotel, there is room to explore it all without regretting having made the bookings already.
One way ticket Destination: This is a question, for which answers keep changing all the time. At this moment, it’s the small village named McLeodganj. I adore the mountains, the cold-air, distant snow-clad mountains and a deep-rooted spirituality that seems to be embedded to the mountain landscapes of Mcleodganj. It has it all, and more. It’s deodar groves, trails that invite you for a long walk, the faraway white peaks are all something I wouldn’t want to leave behind ever.

Countries Travelled: At the last count, I have been to over 30 countries.
Travel Tip: I buy bare-minimum ForEx for my travels and instead draw local currency from Bank ATMs at my destination (there are always 1-2 banks who DO NOT levy a surcharge on withdrawals). This reduces my loss of money to the usual 2-way currency exchange spread charged by Money Changers/banks.
One way ticket Destination: Destination I would never want to come back from (from the ones I have visited till now): Australia. It has everything, and more! Exotic Wildlife, Gorgeous Marine Parks, Diverse Terrain, Joy-to-drive-on Roads, Dense Forests, Treacherous Deserts, Bustling Cities, Cutting-edge Style, Global Cuisine! So, what more would I want?

These sound so common but it is astonishing how few people resist the charm of taking their wardrobe with them or postpone backing up their photos till its too late.
One way ticket Destination: We are genetically inclined to travel so this becomes a very tough question to answer. We would like to answer it a bit differently. The destination we would like to visit again and again would be a small town called Knysna in South Africa. Situated in the Garden route circuit of South Africa and surrounded by some of the prettiest little beach towns we’ve seen (including one named wilderness!), it is a dream come true. Built around a lagoon of the same name, this forested town offers lovely weather, warm people and the option of a laid back stay or one filled with activities. What more can one want?

33. Umang Trivedi
An offbeat traveller who loves adventure is Umang Trivedi who is another travel blogger in India who creates some of the best tales with his adventures. He also loves to curate travel ideas and share interesting travel tips. His blog ‘Travelmax’ is quite a hit among the people and also holds some of the best travel stories.
Countries Travelled: I have been to 7 countries. Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Bhutan & Nepal.
Travel Tip: When I travel internationally, I look for affordable airlines. However, these airlines have additional baggage policies, some allowing very less baggage free of cost. Hence, to avoid paying extra, I sort out my footwear, clothes and everything possible according to weight, wherever applicable. The day I’m flying, I put on my heaviest footwear & clothes. This way, I carry light luggage and avoid paying baggage fees.
Another hack which I use is using Google Maps in Offline mode while traveling internationally or to domestic destination where internet might not work, like Leh. I enter the area which covers the airport and my accommodation in the new city. Later, I type “Ok maps” in search and save the map area as offline maps. This helps me to reach my accommodation when in a new country and I avoid getting lost in unknown lanes. To use the offline area, you can just enter your origin and destination in the regular Google maps.
One way ticket Destination: One destination I would never want to return from is Gili Islands, Indonesia. Out of the three islands which are collectively referred as Gili Islands, Gili Meno provides an offbeat experience as it remains off the tourist grid. You can stay in hostels right on the beach and wake up watching the sun shine brightly over the turquoise waters. If you want to socialize and have a good time, Gili Trawangan island is just a boat ride away! Gili Islands also provide great opportunities for Scuba Diving.
In India, my favorite destination is Mcleodganj. I loved sitting in cafes overlooking the gorgeous valley. I used to stare at the Dhalaudhar range as the sun rays bounced off the snow clad peaks. There are plenty of volunteering opportunities as well in Mcleodganj. You can opt for one and have a fulfilling experience.

34. Svetlana
‘Born with wings’ is how Svetlana describes herself. This woman solo traveller based now in Germany is from India and owns a huge collection of travel experiences around 35 countries. Started as an escape from the mundane life, exploration is the breathing air for her. One thing which makes her more attentive is her style of writing; it is like story telling where plenty of curious moments come and go.
It is pretty much interesting to note the way she has given herself the chances to become a gypsy, an entrepreneur, a traveller, a writer and a foodie although she takes care of her children. “Maverick Bird”, her blog, will take you to stroll through the 15 years of her travel expeditions. The passion she hides in her eyes for travel is shown through the photos and words as collaboration.
Countries Travelled: I have been to more than 35 countries.
Travel Tip: Travel light is the most useful travel hack that I have learned from my years of extensive exploring.

35. Richa Gupta
With a thought of getting slower in life, Richa Gupta threw her first and only corporate job and commenced travelling. She travelled the world in a typical style; ideally choosing the offbeat locations but it is exciting to notice her way of approaching these locations.
She recommends those travel lovers to avoid the clumsiness and confusion arise out of travel agents, guidebooks and things like that, but to be patient to choose the local homestays, enjoy the local food and use the public commutations. Her words let us identify ourselves with the moderate features these offbeat locations portray. Though her articles are published in several magazines and newspaper, “Travels and Stories”, her blog, has a wide range of followers and readership.
Countries Travelled: I had never kept a count. But I just did, for you. It’s 18.
Travel Tip: When traveling to a new country, I always research in advance the most suitable mode of transportation from airport to my accommodation. Saves a lot of hassle and mental agony that comes with being overcharged or choosing the most expensive route on the first day itself. Also, upon arrival after passing through the customs, I like to grab a cup of coffee or some snack and settle down for 20 mins to soak up the environs of a new country instead of immediately rushing out of airport. This is all the more important when I’m traveling solo and don’t want to be overwhelmed with all the new signs, people, language and system.
One way ticket Destination: I like to move. I don’t think there’s any place on earth (including home) where I can see myself permanently. But if you ask my latest love, it’s Iceland. Totally in awe of this tiny island nation. Would love to be back again for longer visit. 🙂

37. Parnashree
For Parnashree, it is a dream came true as she has been always wishing to explore the nooks and corners of the world during her childhood. She believes her life has become perfect after she started embarking on multiple journeys across the world and it is her favourite game now to define the world map with her feet and eyes.
What is remarkable about her is the selection of her paths; undeniably it will be the roads less travelled, the places less explored or less altered. After her first trip to Mukteshwar in Uttarakhand, she realized the world becomes more trickier than she imagined and from that moment onward she decided to jot down more travel experiences in her diary and thus born the blog “traveldiaryparnashree,com” .
Countries Travelled: I have been to only two Asian countries (Thailand and Bhutan ) so far. But If I talk about India , I have covered more than 20 states in India.
Travel Tip: Scan all the important documents like passport , Identity proof , passport photo and a list of emergency numbers and mail it to yourself before you head out to explore a new destination.

39. Anita Bora
A lady encompassing high energy is the phrase I would like to use to describe Anita Bora, a frequent wanderer who is looking forward to array splendours of the world on her travel blog. When she quit the corporate job she used to excel in, she had the greatest aim of escaping into a stormy place of bliss, excitement, and no regrets.
Hence, she distracted her heart from everything else and took herself to mark her footprints in all possible locations. Rather than being a sightseer, Anita found herself highly enthused when she is indulging in some adventurous activities at the destinations she covered. Although she regrets she does not know how to sing, dance and play an instrument, this incomparable travel freak would not be disappointed in her life. Thus she shares the beautiful memories with other travel enthusiasts through her blog.
Countries Travelled: I don’t really keep count but maybe around 15-16? For me, it’s more about experiences and journeys than ticking off countries on the map.
Travel Tip: Scan your passport, visa, identification card and itinerary and send it to yourself (or save it on Google Drive). But having lost my passport in Spain, I learnt the hard way that it’s absolutely essential to keep a copy of all these documents while traveling.
One way ticket Destination: I feel I could settle down in many countries I’ve been to – especially a few of the European countries I’ve been to like the Netherlands, Spain, France, and Switzerland – all evoke that emotion!

44. Anuradha Shankar
Anuradha Shankar proves a misconception wrong through her travel diaries published as ‘’A Wandering Mind’’. The misconception is that the women after the wedding or after the birth of their kids cannot follow their heart vehemently; the heart that says them to travel and explore the velocities the world is accustomed to is hidden for housewives, mothers, and family oriented women still.
Anuradha Shankar gives personal nuances of her travel experiences across India in the form of tiny, delicate stories. However, her articles would be aiding thousands of women who have the virtual clutches of restraining themselves to the households but with the hankering to soar along the vast skies.
Countries Travelled: Much as I love to travel, coming back home is part of it too. Otherwise how will I travel again?
Travel Tip: Travel is all about the experience. Every step is a learning and every experience is new. It’s not about the hacks that we learn but about what we carry back.

Countries Travelled: 9
Travel Tip: Carrying a lightweight warm jacket / sleeping bag helps. When flight/train centralized AC feels too cold, it helps to keep yourself warm. And that’s the best companion when spending nights in railway stations or airports!!

She started sharing her amazing travel experiences in her blog ‘Feet on the Map’. She loves to research places for her bucket list and make it the most happening one. She believes that there should be a balance between everything and travelling helps you to understand it better.
Countries Travelled: Honestly, I don’t like to count countries, I have been to. Numbers can never replace the experience. And there are so many countries, one lifetime won’t be enough. But if a number is to be said, I am at 10 and counting.
Travel Tip: Pack light. There is nothing more important than it. Roll all the clothes into one another, so there is more space. And ditch the suitcase for a backpack!
One way ticket Destination: There are so many places to name. As someone has said, the essence of travel is that once you have been to a destination, place, you are never the same. Because you carry a part of that destination forever in your heart, wherever you go. Likewise, I would want to never come back from any of the places, I have been to. Meghalaya, Sikkim, France, Bhutan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Bhutan, Spain, Italy… I want to never come back from either of these.

The courage achieved from seeing the umpteen number of women solo travellers in India including foreign ladies gave Priyanka the confidence to travel the world alone. She likes long trips rather than short weekend trips. She is pretty happy to share the remarkable moments aroused during her travel through her blog.
Also, when she describes her cycling trip from Berlin to Copenhagen we can feel the innocent excitement she carries throughout her life. A digital marketer by profession has a lot of things to do in her life, she believes. The most attracting feature she has is the sturdy solo heart which requires slow days in her life which let her meet new sets of people, culture, and lifestyle.
Countries Travelled: I find that the depth of exploration & understanding about different cultures is what really counts, not the number of countries. I have spent a good amount of time traveling 6 countries including India. I have been to another 4 countries but they were short trips.
Travel Tip: Always research and opt for activities that make sense for you. Nothing worse than being stuck doing stuff you don’t like, even in a dream destination.
One way ticket Destination: This is really tough to answer because it means I cannot see other places but if I had to pick one, cycling in Europe comes close. 🙂

Ruchika Vyas is a lover of chocolates along with her enduring passion for travelling. I would say she is a good time-manager because she manages her job, her chocolate shop, writing and travelling well. The conventional Indian family background never stopped Ruchika from her urges to conquer the untamed paths of this beautiful world. She determined to become a solo traveller during her college days.
She is an acknowledged writer too whose writings have been published in world famous print as well as virtual media. This extensive writer’s travelogue contains New York, Thailand, Brussels, Amsterdam, Maldives and different locations in India. Obviously, she narrates the best food and drinks she tasted at different locations that came closer to her with the expeditions.
Countries Travelled: I’ve been to 15 countries so far.
Travel Tip: There are so many! What I learned with experience is one can travel with the most minimal resources (including money). It’s all about prioritising what you’d rather invest in; exploring a destination or travelling luxuriously.
One way ticket Destination: Ladakh. There is beauty in its barrenness. The landscapes are so diverse that no matter what you’re looking to explore–mountains, lakes, desert or snowfall–you can see it all. And the food is great too; especially the baked goods at the numerous German bakeries there.

Countries Travelled: I normally do not count the number of countries but only think of the memories. If you still want the number, it should be about 36+
Travel Tip: Don’t have preconceived notions and expectations from a place. It is beautiful when the place unravels itself in its own way.

52. Ankita Mahabir
A constant traveler who loves to explore different places Ankita Mahabir is another travel blogger in India who has made her own story. Ankita started as a solo traveler and then slowly became aware of all the traveling ideas.
In her blog ‘Living and Escaping’ she very beautifully describes her trips. As an experienced traveler, she talks about the traveling hassle and how it can be made easier. A lover of the mountains she loves to explore the deep secrets of nature hidden in its bosom.
Countries Traveled: I really don’t believe in counting countries because the number of countries has nothing to do with the depth of your travel experiences. If someone visits 10 countries in 2 weeks it doesn’t make them a better traveler than someone who prefers slow travel. Let’s not make travel a rat race, there’s enough of that in the “real” world.
Travel Tip: Always buy a local sim – since I’m working on my laptop all the time, this is a crucial one for me. I also use the TripAdvisor, Airbnb, and Couchsurfing apps to get the best “live like a local” experience when I travel. If you’re in Europe, check out BlaBlaCar – great time and money saver.
One way ticket Destination: A destination from which I’d never want to come back is Slovenia. It had all the perfect ingredients. The country is committed to protecting its green spaces, the people are friendly, it’s safe and the food was a pleasant surprise. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

Countries Travelled: Being very much passionate about exploring my own country first, I have only been to Nepal so far. But yes, I definitely have a few names on my bucket list such as Bhutan and Thailand, a Buddhist country. I would definitely plan to visit our neighbors soon and witness the life there from close!
Travel Tip: I am born into a country, which has deep cultural roots and rich traditions. One thing that has always helped me enjoy my travelling expeditions to the fullest is the way the traditions connect the people of India, regardless of their religion, race or caste. I find it absolutely amazing to explore my wonderful country with deep cultural values that always encourage us to be righteous, maintain peace of mind, relax and grow in a world where life is so stressful.
One way ticket destination: I absolutely love travelling, especially when it’s about exploring my own country, the incredible India. I am very much fascinated to the seven states of north east India, popularly known as the Seven Sisters. The natural scenic beauty of that region of India is something which would definitely make me wish not to leave it ever. I could endlessly travel through those lands in the north east which includes the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam (famous for its tea), Meghalaya (the Land of Clouds and great rainfall of course), Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.

One way ticket Destination: Nilgiris or often called as blue mountains that are the home of several heritage bungalows & the green tea estates. The greenery that fills the Nilgiris, the stunning and clean waterfalls and peaceful lakes are more than enough reasons not to come back.

Her blog also includes some of the offbeat and unseen places which are a must visit for you.
Countries Traveled: I have been to 3 countries so far and the reason is I am more of a backyard person. It’s a dream to explore each and every part of this beautiful country we live in. I have been told many times to go international and I always told them this- India First. May be that’s the reason I have been able to travel to over 140 cities across 20 states in India since 2013.
Travel Tip: During my early days of traveling, I would hurry up from one place to another because I feared I might miss seeing something. Obvious I used to feel tired at the end of the day. But with time I realized that it is no fun rushing through. Give a place your best time, go slow and relax. The world is not ending. Absorb a place fully, travel peacefully. You are allowed to come back.
One way ticket Destination: Any and everywhere in the Himalayas.

Countries Traveled: I have been to Australia, Italy, and Jordan so far. Looking forward to traveling to a lot more countries.
Travel Tip: I’d say I have learned to research well about a place, especially its geography – know the distances. Advance planning and research help.
One way ticket Destination: I wouldn’t want to come back from Rajasthan. It is my absolute favorite. It has an obvious charm that just spells magic on a traveler.

A travel addict, a writer and a dreamer who loves to lure herself in the beauty of the exotic destinations, Anna is another blogger who has made her mark.

In her blog ‘Global Gallivanting’ she captures some of the rare moments of the real day to day life. She very beautifully describes the places she has been traveling so far. Just check her blog it will surely catch your attention.
Countries Travelled: I’m not really into counting countries as I believe the important thing is to have a deep, immersive, quality experience rather than rushing through ticking off countries without really experiencing them. I think I’ve visited 30 countries now, almost all of Europe and Asia. I also spent a year living and working in the Australian outback and have visited the United States. Next, I’d really like to explore Japan, Central Asia (places like Uzbekistan fascinate me) and Latin America but I’m in no rush, I’m enjoying taking it slowly and really soaking it all in.
Travel Tip: The most important thing I’ve learned from 4 years of traveling full time, independently, on a budget (and most of the time solo) is the joy and importance of slow travel. Having too much pre-planning and rushing around following a strict itinerary doesn’t lead to a good travel experience, plus when you travel slow you get more immersed in the destination, you get to meet local people, discover offbeat gems, escape the tourist trail and often when plans go wrong, or you get lost or accept a random invitation, these can often turn out to be the most memorable highlights of a trip. So my top tip for the most profound travel experiences is simply to go with the flow, take it slow and don’t rush or over plan your travels too much.
One way ticket destination: Well, India is a destination that I can’t seem to leave! I’ve been living in Goa and traveling all around India for more than 24 months and there’s still so much I want to see. I think one of the reasons why I can never get bored of India is the sheer diversity that makes every destination so different, so interesting and still so captivating.

Countries Travelled: Why count countries, cities or anything? If you still wish to know, 15 is the number.
Travel Tip: Always read or collect some information about the place before you are headed there. In South Africa. I did a lot of road trips and there I learned a lesson for life. Don’t step out without studying your road map properly.’ It’s best to prepare and then travel to unknown places.
One way ticket destination: I wouldn’t want to come back from Oslo in Norway or Capetown in South Africa. My love for both these places had grown so much that I cried while returning from these cities.

59. Akash Mehrotra
A business consultant by profession and a travel writer by passion Akash is another travel blogger in India who is an inspiration for us all. If you have the desire to travel then nothing can stop you from exploring. In his blog ‘Hand of Colors,’ he has shared some traveling experiences. He has very beautifully described about its beauty of the place along with its specialty.
Countries Travelled: I have been to six countries so far, most in Africa. In fact, I spend almost six months in Kenya, which is a fabulous destination for travelers.
Travel Tip: The biggest travel hack that has worked for me is taking a generous data pack to do my research especially related to local travel. You not only can research about your plan but also remain connected. While you are coming out of your shell there’s always someone waiting for you back home.
Second is get connected with your cultural tribe of travelers, wherever you go. I have many friends today who I met while traveling. The fact is you are never alone, there are many like you and all have their share of knowledge and hacks to be employed.
And obviously on the list is my recommendation to ditch your comfort zone and get local, open up to them and you will be surprised how great conversationalist these locals are. This is an ardent practice for me, which has always proven a good boost for my travel stories.
One way ticket Destination: North East India is my all-time hit, can go there anytime, spend any number of days and if given a chance would never come back. Internationally of all the places I have travelled to, Seychelles is my favorite.

With the desire to travel around the world and explore the hidden secret of nature, Salonee is living her dream. She believes that one can enjoy the true beauty of a region only if they interact with the people, learn about their custom and delight in a good meal. Good food will always attract you, even being a vegetarian Salonee also describes about the best food she has tasted. In her blog ‘Foodalong’ she not only describe about her experience in the place but also about the delicious food. She is another inspiration for the foodies and the travellers.
Countries Travelled: I’ve extensively travelled to 40 countries so far and aim to visit at least 3-4 a year.
Travel Tip: One of the most helpful things I’ve found is getting a local sim card with data. It’s not very expensive and usually available at most airports or newsstands. It helps you navigate (Maps, Rome2Rio), find food options and activities around (Foursquare, Tripadvisor) communicate with locals (Translate) or family and friends (Whatsapp, social media). Great for emergencies too especially if you travel solo.
One way ticket destination: It’s tough to pick a spot because each country has its own unique charm. If I had to pick, though, it would be Istanbul (Turkey) and Bali. Both have a great mix of Eastern culture and Western conveniences, great vegetarian food options and friendly locals that speak English.

I’m extremely impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your blog.
Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Anyway keep up the excellent quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like
this one nowadays.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what
all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog
like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% positive.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers https://anunturi-parbrize.ro/index.php?page=334

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
