Indian Wanderer Raised In Africa

I’m Soumya and welcome to my travel website

My name is Soumya Nambiar. I am an entrepreneur and I currently work and live in Bangalore, India. I grew up in Tanzania, Africa. My parents love traveling as well and I have been traveling ever since I can remember. Nowadays I travel with friends, family and sometimes solo too. As someone with an Indian passport, I am constantly traveling to prove that we can do it too. I am a vegetarian and I write frequently about my vegetarian experiences around the world. Travel, Books and Food is a travel blog from India and focuses on my experiences as a solo female Indian wanderer and Vegetarian Foodie.

  • I am getting married next week. And the question everyone asks me is if I am having pre wedding jitters. And the answer is I don’t think so. Except for the fact that my fiancée gets his usual round of scoldings from me every day, I still seem to be doing fine. Maybe the inevitable is yet to happen. Who knows? We will soon find out. I am anyway off from Instagram for the next few weeks till we are settled. Here you can see a photo from Denmark and one of the orange/ yellow series.#travelbooksfood #visitdenmark #kronberg #copenhagen #govisitdenmark #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #travel #travelawesome #orangehues #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • So another birthday goes by and both of us turn a year older. Me and my twin of course. So how many of you remember that I have a twin. Anyway thank you to everyone who took their time out to wish us. I am posting a cute picture of ours in stories. Go check it out. Btw Happy birthday to her as well. So who knows what her name is? Can any of my followers( friends are obviously not allowed) guess her name? So continuing the theme, here is one from Colmar in France. One of the prettiest towns I have been to in France.#travelbooksfood #visitfrance #colmar #lovefrance #alsacetourisme #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #welovealaace #francephoto #travel #travelawesome #orangehues #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • Since everyone thinks all that I can think of is the wedding, I want to prove all of you wrong. Yes, there is a lot of wedding planning going on right now. But we at #Travelmassive #Bangalore are organising a panel discussion on Influencer marketing this weekend. So if you are in town, don’t forget to come listen to some of the experts on what they think about influencer marketing. Is this an overused term or is to stay? All details on my stories.

  • I have been so busy shuttling between #Bangalore and #Chennai that I have spent no time on my blog recently. Even then, my blog has been doing extremely well due to all the previous hard work I put in months ago. I am glad that I decided to learn SEO and not focus too much on social media.

  • I love driving and my first option is to always explore the idea of driving when I am in a new place. I don’t mind driving solo as well. But I was in Copenhagen in November and it was almost winter there. So I was a little reluctant to drive solo since I am not used to snow covered roads. So I relied on public transportation the entire time I was in Scandinavia. Don’t get me wrong. I am an excellent driver. But when you are solo, there are some stupid decisions you have to avoid making. Have you traveled solo and how do you tackle such dilemmas? A pic from the Bishop’s house (Bispegarden) in front of the Roskilde Cathedral. This is a UNESCO world heritage site and has been the burial ground for Danish monarchs since the 15th century. Did you guess my theme? I have decided to concentrate on yellow and orange hues for the next few weeks and an occasional brown hue as well. #travelbooksfood #Denmark🇩🇰 #copenhagen #visitdenmark #visitcopenhagen #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #danmark #roskilde #travel #travelawesome #orangehues #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • Finally decided on my new theme for the next few weeks. Can anyone guess what it is? Probably will get more clarity by the time I upload the next picture. I am a huge fan of GOT and I have wanted to go to Kings landing for a really long time. My initial plan was to spend 3 nights in the city. But I got so overwhelmed by the crowd that I left in less than 2 days. I still enjoyed some places without the crowds and this walk around the city walls early in the morning was one of them.#travelbooksfood #Dubrovnik #dubrovnikoldtown #croatiafulloflife #lovecroatia #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #croatiatrip #Discovercroatia #travel #travelawesome #orangehues #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • So if you have been following me on Insta stories, you would have figured that I am slowly turning into a Bridezilla. What is it about weddings that turn even the most calmest person on earth (read me) insane? So any tips to not turn into one? In other news, only two months to go. Btw a shot from Bangalore last spring. It is Spring here and one from Spring till I figure out my next theme.#travelbooksfood #bangalore #bangalore_insta #incredible_india #Lovespring #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #indiaphotography #Karnatakatourism #greenery #travel #travelawesome #india_everyday #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • Today, I want to talk about something personal. Did you know that February is Congenital Heart Disease awareness month? My nephew was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. This means that his left ventricle is severely underdeveloped. Which meant that over the course of the past 4.5 years, he has had 3 open heart surgeries including one that happened mid of last month. Has it been easy over the years? No, it hasn’t. Especially for his parents. Hopefully, he doesn’t require any more surgeries. He is being treated by Dr Devananda and his team at Manipal hospital. As all of you know, heart surgery is not cheap and many doctors around India including Dr Devananda are working to bring heart care for the underprivileged patients through their ‘Needy Hearts’ foundation. I will share more details about this foundation over the next few days and I hope all of you will support the same in whatever ways you can. A picture from Denmark. I am thinking of changing my theme soon. So what do I change it to?#travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitdenmark #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #castle #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #copenhagen #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography #congenitalheartdefect #hlhs
