Window on the World

Welcome to Window on the World, collection of my travel photos and stories from around the world.

My name is Devesh Patel. I recently (Jun 2017) retired early from career in software. Now, I spend my time doing what I love––traveling around the world, experiencing local culture, and trying out local cuisine and drink. So far, I’ve been to 109 countries and counting.

If you are interested in exploring our wonderful world through photographs, you’ve come to the right place. All photos in this site are taken by me during my travels.

I started this project in Mid-April 2020, during lock-down because of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. As of Oct 13, 2020 this site has 4,207 photos in 215 Posts about 49 Countries/Regions. The speed at I am going, it will take at least three years to add all 109 countries in this site. Meanwhile, I am hoping to explore few more new countries too. So, keep checking this site frequently for new travel stories and photos.

As I have been to 109 countries, It’s not easy to list all of them on one page. Explore them by selecting a Continent or Special Interest Section or View countries visited by Year

NOTE: As this Website has thousands of Photos, you will have better experience if you view it on a larger screen like Tablet/iPad/Laptop/PC; Mobile phone doesn’t provide the same justice.

Continents:

Special Interest Section: During my travel I visited many places with common theme, so decided to group those places in one post for easier access.

Special Interest Posts; I am passionate about taking sunset/sunrise pictures and trying local beer and other alcoholic drinks from the place I visit. Check out my posts below to view photos of sunset/Sunrise and Drinks from around the world. Also there are posts with love locks around the world and KM 0 landmarks around the world.
