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.

  • So I guess it is evident from the picture where I am headed to next. 😊 Just booked my tickets to Amsterdam last week. But I am actually headed to #Rotterdam for a conference end of next month and then the plan is to roam around Eastern Europe for a few weeks post that. So where do you think I should head out to in Eastern Europe? Croatia is my exit point btw. 😊 Btw did you check out the massive guide on the blog about 50+ itineraries on best places to travel in Europe? Link in the bio. Go check it out. #travelbooksfood #visitholland #amsterdam🇳🇱 #netherlands🇳🇱 #visitamsterdam #visitnetherlands #igersamsterdam #theglobewanderer #streetphotograph #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • Life definitely has been crazy for the past 2 weeks and it is slowly settling down. We have finally shifted to our new building and things are slowly getting back to normal. It is definitely the time to be thankful and many people are appreciating the hard work done by so many people . As usual I ended up falling sick. I am extremely allergic to direct smoke and I was down this time too because of the smoke from the Pooja at office. For my non-Indian friends, we always conduct a Pooja for any auspicious occasion. It is a way for us to make an offering to the Gods and it is usually accompanied by lighting a fire in the middle. We also turned a year older on the 31st and we ended up spending our birthday together this time with family. For people who didn’t know, I am one of a twin. Continuing on the theme of colours, I have another picture from Dingle. Have you been to Dingle and have you had ice cream from Murphys? #travelbooksfood #dingle #dinglepeninsula #Irelandtrip #travelIreland #Irelandgram #Ireland_gram #VisitIreland #theglobewanderer #streetphotograph #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • I have been mostly offline from my blog for the past one month except for a few photographs that I have uploaded on Instagram. I haven’t traveled anywhere in the past two months and this is the longest I have been at home for the past few years. There is a reason though. Some of you already know but I guess it is time to officially announce. We are shifting to our own and brand new office building this week. It is a dream come true for our family and let us drink to the fact and hope that the family business will continue to grow as it has for the past 10 years. :) I am going to be offline for a while till everything settles down. I do have a mega blog post coming up tomorrow. Till then, leaving you with another colourful photo from Notting Hill. #travelbooksfood #NottingHill #visitEngland #Londontown #visitLondon #topLondonphoto #Sheisnotlost #prettylittleLondon #theglobewanderer #streetphotography #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • I need to go back to Prague one day. I only spent two very emotional days here 1.5 years ago and I hardly got to see anything. It was the last city on my 6 week Europe trip and by the time I got here, I was broke, tired and wanted to get back home. I don’t mind long term travel but I prefer slow travel rather than checking off places on my bucket list. I have slowed my travels over the past few years. #travelbooksfood #Prague #Praguecity #visitPrague #instaPrague #czechrepublic #Sheisnotlost #czechia #theglobewanderer #streetphotography #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • I know that this photo is not as colourful as my previous photos. But sometimes the sober colours make that much of a statement as others. It still has at least five colours in this photo which was the general theme of this series. It was a rainy day in Strasbourg when I visited and I had ducked into one of the restaurants to have dinner. When the rains stopped, it gave me an opportunity to click this photo. Have you ever been to Strasbourg? #travelbooksfood #Strasbourg #alsace #visitFrance #travelFrance #iloveFrance #Sheisnotlost #hello_France #theglobewanderer #VisitlaFrance #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • Hope everyone had a great St Patrick’s Day in Ireland and around the world. Even though everyone thinks of Green when they think of Ireland, I can only think of Ireland as being extremely colourful. This is a shot of the streets of Galway. #travelbooksfood #galway #ireland☘️ #visitireland #discoverireland #loveireland #Sheisnotlost #instaireland #theglobewanderer #wildAtlanticWay #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • One of my favourite cities, Lisbon is also a colourful one. But most people notice only the brown roofs.

  • There are days when I have a love and hate relationship with my country. It is chaotic, it is not perfect and it has a lot of problems. But you cannot deny the fact that it is unique and it is the most colourful place on the planet. And you will find one of the most genuine and colourful people here in my India. A shot of a colourful temple in Kumbakonam in colourful India. #travelbooksfood #incredibleindia #travelrealindia #india_clicks #igramming_india #lonelyplanetindia #Sheisnotlost #yourshot_india #theglobewanderer #incredibleindiaofficial #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
