Hey there!!! Welcome to our travel blog. We are thrilled to share our adventures and experiences of exploring the world, including the places we have lived and visited.

Meet Mina:
Hello! My name is Mina and I am the creator of this website, triplogs.co.uk. I am delighted to welcome you to our platform where we share our family’s travel experiences from various destinations worldwide through our travelogues.
I am a mother, wife, teacher, QA tester, market researcher, living in Glasgow, the United Kingdom. My family and I enjoy travelling and have had the opportunity to live in many different places. On this website, I share our travel experiences, tips, and travelogues…
Let’s start from the beginning. I hail from Berhampore, a small city in West Bengal, India, located in the eastern part near Kolkata. I pursued a bachelor’s degree followed by a master’s in Arts. It was during my college days that I met my significant other, Raj. After completing my education, we tied the knot and I started working as a schoolteacher in Kolkata. Our first child was born in Kolkata, and then we moved to Chennai, South India, where we lived for three years. During our stay, we gained invaluable experience in the southern part of the country. We then shifted to Bangalore for two years, before finally settling down in Pune, in the western part of India. Pune is a magnificent city, and we had a wonderful experience exploring the beautiful places in and around Maharashtra and Goa during our two-year stay.
Then we made our way to Singapore. Our family spent three years in Singapore, where we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the cultures of Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia. After a brief stay in Paris, France, we moved to Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, where the newest and most adorable member of our family was born.
Some fun facts about me:
- Since getting married, Glasgow is the city where I’ve lived the longest.
- I find it difficult to go a day without eating chilli.
- Unfortunately, I’ve never been a fan of the photos my husband takes.
Meet Raj:
Hi there, I am Raj Hasan. I support my wife running this website. I am a Software Engineer working for a financial organisation, currently living in Glasgow with my beautiful wife and two daughters. I was born in a small village in West Bengal, India and met with Mina during my Engineering days. It was love at first site and we got married after completing my engineering (even before getting a job 😊). The rest of the story is same as Mina shared above. We have enjoyed most of our lives together. While Mina loves to eat hot dishes full of chillies, I am a sweet tooth.
The fact behind the name:
Traveling is one of the best ways to learn more about ourselves because it takes us out of our comfort zone and inspires us to learn and try new things. Our website, ‘triplogs’, is named after the word ‘travelogue’, which refers to a film, book, or illustrated lecture about a traveler’s experiences. Although we wanted to start this journey for a long time, we couldn’t continue for many silly reasons. However, it’s never too late to pursue your passion. We aim to share our experiences about the places we have visited or lived in, including the culture, food, places to visit, tips, itineraries, and more, along with photos and videos (even though we’re not great at taking them). Thank you for following our journey and sharing our blogs with your loved ones.
