“I absolutely love traveling because it gives life the meaning it deserves. Add some festivals & seasonal events, and you’ve hit the jackpot!

There are so many amazing aspects of travel, festivals, and seasonal events that I could share for hours. These things bring families together for life! They make families happy and create lasting bonds.

That’s why I started this blog — to share my passion for discovering the best seasonal things to do, special-day celebrations, and weekend getaways with my family. Join me as we explore public events, vibrant festivals, scenic road trips, cozy seasonal stays, and more!

What Else I Do 🤔

Before freelance writing at the start of 2020, I worked as a school teacher, marketing guy for a smartphone company, biryani seller, and whatnot! I also volunteered for some NGOs in Pakistan and cofounded a youth group named MYC.

But now, I love calling myself a travel blogger because I run two travel blogs and earn money from them. I am more than just a travel enthusiast; I work as a content writer for a company and run two faceless YouTube channels as well.

From Generic to Genuine and Timely

In mid-2023, I started TravelingRauf with a simple goal: to write about the places I dreamed of visiting. Back then, I covered destinations from all over the map — the Maldives, Dubai, Mexico, the US — really, anywhere that sparked my curiosity. I was fascinated by how certain places seemed to echo each other.

That version of the blog was fun to build, and I learned a lot from it. But over time, I started to feel disconnected from what I was creating. I realized I was writing about everything, but not really connecting with anything. The posts didn’t feel grounded or focused — just scattered travel ideas.

So I stepped back, took a long pause, and asked myself:

What kind of travel content actually excites me and is the need of the time (even in the world of AI in Search)?

That’s when the idea clicked — I’ve always loved how places transform with time. A city can feel completely different in fall than it does in summer

A sleepy town can suddenly turn electric during a local festival. That rhythm — of seasons, events, and traditions — brings places to life in a way that’s more than just geography.

And that’s what TravelingRauf is now.

Today, this blog is all about seasonal travel and festivals in the US. I research and share the most interesting things to do — not just where to go, but when.

I explore cozy winter towns and buzzing summer fairs. I also dive into spring blooms and fall food festivals.

Even if I’m not physically attending every event, I treat every piece as if planning my own trip. I ask real questions, explore details, and imagine being there.

Because I believe the magic of travel isn’t just in the place — it’s in the timing as well.
