Travel is all about stories; influenced by stories, inspired by stories and in search of stories…
We are privileged to meet, interact and listen to the stories of many from diverse cultures and across the globe, as they walk with Kabani.
Thirty years back, in the ‘90s 'Frank', now aged 75, heard about Kerala for the first time. He read about ‘Kerala model of Development’ and got interested in Kerala.
It took another twenty years for the second Kerala connection, Frank and his wonderful wife Linda got connected to a university student, originally from Kerala and developed a close bonding. They learnt more about this beautiful landscape, its people, the peaceful coexistence of different religious communities, spirituality etc;
After Ten more years, on a beautiful day, they were invited to attend her wedding in Kerala. With only a few months to plan and get prepared, they started their research on sustainable travel options in Kerala and found us.
Challenged a bit by age and medical conditions but inspired by the indomitable spirit, Linda found a good friend to travel with them, in Melanie, a librarian and researcher. Bonded closely by friendship and faith, the three set foot on Kerala in a couple of months.
Their journey was not just through the land from Central Kerala to the North, but through people and communities, making deeper connections.
Total strangers, sitting on the opposite sides of the globe, a few days back, got connected for the rest of our lives…
Towards the end of the tour, at Madayippara, Kannur, they found evidences of a two thousand year old connection with their own community, the first Jewish settlement in Kerala.
Kabani is now even more confident and convinced in organizing safe, comfortable and meaningful travel for senior people across Kerala.
Age is just a number and it’s the mindset that matters …
