CityWalk is back with another inspiring travel story and life-changing trips from young travelers. These stories make you aware of the sacred pilgrimages some travelers have, making them deeply connect with locals on the road and altering their life in many ways by getting them out of their comfort zone. 

Alen is a young traveler who has traveled to about 29 countries. Some of which include: Greece, Egypt, Pakistan, Slovenia, Italy, Turkey, and so much more. Alen along with being a travel enthusiast also posts very engaging content on his social media, keeping his followers updated on his journeys with beautiful videography. He is an award-winning filmmaker too which inspires everyone to visit his Instagram page. Alen has managed to gain about 20.1k followers on Instagram, most of his videos have more than 2,000 views.

When asked about his favorite country, Alen told CityWalk that it’s hard for him to pick that but the top 3 would surely be Indonesia, Pakistan, and Italy for him. Talking about Pakistan Alen explained that the best memory in Pakistan he has is of the people and their hospitality. “We were traveling by car from Gilgit to Islamabad after our flight got canceled, and got stuck halfway because of a landslide. Spent 2 nights in some random village hotel with the most amazing locals who offered us food, shared their rooms with us and we even visited most of their homes” 

He also claimed that people in Pakistan were the friendliest he had ever seen, every location was incredible and all the foods were delicious. From amazing views and mountains in the South to chaotic and historic cities like Lahore and Peshawar says Alen. 

With Alen’s amazing feed he also has highlights on his page for people who would like to see some content from specific countries that he has visited making it easier to choose and be specific. 

Getting to the amazing part for our CityWalk reader we asked Alen if he has any tips for aspiring travelers? To which he replied something that will make everyone re-plan their upcoming plans.  Travel now because money returns but time doesn’t. And make sure to get off the beaten path, that always leads to the greatest things, says Alen.
