Writing

I write about walking, train rides, forests, mountains, birds, the English countryside, India, and other things I find life-affirming. My writing focuses on my travel experiences in the UK and India but also provides a glimpse into my experiences moving abroad and living in a new country. I’ve written for National Geographic Traveller India, Yahoo! Travel, The Better India and Mint, among others.
