hey moumita...i read your article and it did provide many useful valuable tips. i'm sure anyone travelling to foreign shores will experience a great amount of trepidation and this article does much to put one at ease.
in terms of suggestion here are just a few things i thought you could work with to make the article engaging as well as informative.
1) i found the entire approach and too instruction-based. you might want to try a more informal voice considering this article is catering to an off-the-cuff traveller.
2) personal experience is always a delightful departure to better illustrate a point. i love the part about those rocks from the moon in some ancient cave. thats insightful and makes me want to travel to lands unknown. besides my valuation of you as a traveller immediately goes up.
3) humour, tongue-in-cheek, slapstick, black, absurd anything but make it fun. it's not a serious article dealing with ideology and theosophy. it's about the joie de vivre...let it reel
all this only because you asked for suggestions.

Hi Wolf,
Your suggestions were most useful and thanks so much for the kind words! I purposely avoided humour in this article since the LFC website caters towards useful/instructive/self-help articles. So I thought humour might be out of place. But probably I could have been more informal. Will try that next time.
Thanks a ton!
Thanks for the tips! And so thorough!
