These days, everyone is travelling to new places.
Road trips, flights, train journeys, weekend getaways—social media is full of stories, reels, and memories from around the world.
But while travelling, have you ever noticed this?
Every journey quietly teaches you how systems really work.
That is where Engineering Through Travel begins.
Why Travel and Software Engineering Belong Together
Travel is not just about destinations—it is about:
-
Planning routes
-
Handling delays
-
Managing dependencies
-
Adapting to unexpected situations
-
Making smart decisions on the move
If that sounds familiar, it is because software engineering works the same way.
Whether you are designing a system, deploying to production, or fixing an issue at scale, the thinking required is surprisingly similar to planning and executing a journey.
The Thought Behind This Series
I am a Solution Architect by profession, working in the software industry for over 15 years, designing and modernising scalable systems used by global users.
Outside of work, I am also a traveller and photographer. Through my travel journey, often shared as Another Travelographer, I enjoy capturing moments, exploring new cultures, and spending time close to nature. Travel allows me to slow down, observe, and understand systems beyond code.
Over time, these two worlds—engineering and travel—started to overlap.
The way I plan journeys, adapt to unexpected changes, and observe patterns on the road is remarkably similar to how effective software systems are designed and evolved.
That is the foundation of Engineering Through Travel.

How We Will Learn Here
Each story follows a fun and practical flow:
-
A real travel moment
Something that happened on the road, at an airport, or during a journey. -
A software connection
How that moment maps to architecture, scalability, reliability, security, or leadership. -
A real engineering takeaway
A lesson you can apply in your day-to-day work.
No theory-heavy lectures.
Just real stories, real systems, and real learning.
What You Can Expect
-
Software engineering explained in a simple and relatable way
-
Real-world examples instead of textbook definitions
-
Lessons that apply whether you are a developer, architect, or tech lead
-
A fresh perspective on everyday travel experiences
This is not travel blogging.
This is engineering thinking inspired by travel.
Let’s Travel and Learn Together
If you enjoy travelling…
If you enjoy building software…
If you believe learning should be practical and fun…
Then you are in the right place.
No heavy theory.
No unnecessary jargon.
Just real journeys, real systems, and real learning along the way.
Travel → Code → Repeat
