It’s hard not to fall in love with a country so beautiful, a people so full of warmth and energy, a language so passionate, and what’s probably the best food on the planet. When you travel, sometimes the most unexpected of places feel like home. That was Italy for me.
Porto Venere, Italy.
Lake Garda, Italy.
Cinque Terre, Italy.
I want to live in Italy some day.
I quit my corporate job in the summer of 2011 and decided to travel for a living. I've lived with the White Thai tribe in a remote Vietnamese village, hitch-hiked along Turkey's Black Sea coast, swum with black-tip sharks on Malaysia's east coast, spent a night in the highest inhabited village of the Himalayas, and fallen in love with so many people and places, that I've lost count.
My travel stories have appeared in National Geographic Traveller Magazine, The Times of India, The Hindu and Lonely Planet, among others. I've been featured as an intrepid woman traveller in the New Woman Magazine and as a volunteer travel enthusiast in DNA, and interviewed on All India Radio.
In January 2012, I co-founded India Untravelled, with an aim to introduce travel enthusiasts to responsible travel experiences in rural India.

Italy is very very nice, you can find many places where to live and fell the smell of food and traditional cousin, to admire the beauty of the nature and the history, the simpathy of people.
So true
I’ll be giving Rome a miss to explore the countryside though.
Were you inspired by Eat, Pray, Love?
Not quite
It’s way more beautiful than they show it to be.
The color of that water in the third pic is amazing. I would have enjoyed being able to see it in person.
