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 on the road for over a month from this weekend and I have so many pending things to finish. Hopefully I will get it done on time. Do you ever feel overwhelmed with the number of things you have to finish before you travel? Continuing on the theme, here is one from Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. #travelbooksfood #beach🌊 #beachlove #Kotakinabalu #Malaysia #clearwater #Sheisnotlost #islandlife #theglobewanderer #sand #beachlife #blues #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • Life is so unpredictable sometimes. It has been a crazy week and it is going to be an even crazier week. But what is life without this unpredictability? All I can say is that I am thankful about the people in my life. Continuing the theme of hues of water from around the world, this is a photo of the Praia Marinha beach in the Algarve region in Portugal. This is definitely one of my most favourite beach regions in the world. #travelbooksfood #beach🌊 #beachlove #algarve #portugal #clearwater #Sheisnotlost #islandlife #theglobewanderer #sand #beachlife #blues #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • I grew up around beaches like this. So I decided to do a series around the different colours of water bodies around the world. See the various shades of blues and greens around the world through our eyes. A shot from Zanzibar in Tanzania, one of my favourite places in the world taken by my brother in law. #travelbooksfood #beach🌊 #beachlove #tanzania #zanzibar #clearwater #Sheisnotlost #islandlife #theglobewanderer #sand #beachlife #blues #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe
  • This is the last post from my Colorful places around the world themed series. This is from Neal’s Yard, a colourful alley in London’s Covent Garden. So what theme should I now go for? Any suggestions for me? #travelbooksfood #Nealsyard #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 have been so busy over the past few weeks now and it is kind of surreal that things are finally settling down. The official inauguration of our new office was last weekend and it was nice to put that finally behind us. Someone told me that I am always a busy person and I have no time most times. Somehow I like keeping myself busy and I now need to start planning my next Europe trip. I don’t have the luxury of not planning my trips since I hold an Indian passport unlike most other travel bloggers. I need to have a day by day breakdown of where I intend to spend my time in Europe. What suggestions do you have for me for the Balkans? #travelbooksfood #colmar #alsace #hello_france #visitfrance #igfrance #Sheisnotlost #Igersfrance #theglobewanderer #streetphotograph #colourful #coloursplash #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #passionpassport #travelwithme #travelphotography #worldnomads #girlsvsglobe #nikonphotography
  • 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
