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.

  • As much as I am a beach baby, I am not that big of a fan of Summer. I don’t like being hot and sweaty all the time. That is why I am glad that it is almost Autumn/ Fall in many places. Unfortunately we don’t see a lot of fall foliage in this part of the world and I wish I was in one such place. I fell in love with places like Florence or Scotland because of this season. A photo from the many Glens around Scotland during Autumn. So what is your favourite season and your favourite Autumn destination? #travelbooksfood #scotland #Scotlandhighlands #scotlandsbeauty #clearwater #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #Scotland_insta #scotlandlover #travel #travelawesome #doyoutravel #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #traveldeeper #awesome_photographers #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #worldnomads #nikonphotography
  • Someone felt that counting the number of countries is not right because it feels like a boast. I don’t believe that. The reason I count the number of countries is because I travel with a weak passport and I require a visa for most countries. So each visa is an achievement in itself. So what are your thoughts? Agree or don’t agree with me?

  • Today I am asking you for help. It has been a crazy and emotional week for many of us. As many of you already know, my home state of #Kerala has been struck with devastating floods for the past few days. 300+ lives have been lost and millions of people have been displaced following the floods and landslides. No one even knows the extent of loss of animal lives. The situation in #Kodagu in #Karnataka is equally devastating. Even though the rains and the water levels have subsided since Saturday, it will take a long time for things to go back to normal in Kerala and Coorg. People are coming back to broken homes or no homes at all. We are talking about millions of dollars which will be needed to rehabilitate ‘God’s own country ‘. After all, this is considered to be the worst floods that have hit Kerala in a century. So I am asking you to help in whatever ways you can. If you search in Google for ‘Donate money to Kerala’, you will find many options on how you can help. You can contribute to the Chief minister’s relief fund or send items through Amazon or help in whatever way you can. And don’t forget that people in Coorg also need your help. What is reassuring to see is how people from around India and the world have come in droves to help people in need. Humanity does exist and I would ask people to ignore some of the hate that has come in as well in minuscule amounts. A special thank you to everyone who went out of their way to help. It will take Kerala and Kodagu a while to get back on its feet. But once we do, it is important that we don’t repeat our past mistakes of taking nature for granted. Even though this was not the image I had intended to post this week, I found this while scouring among my images. The boats and their fishermen were the real miracles throughout this calamity and we are forever grateful to them. I also ask each one of you ‘To Be The Miracle To The Ones Who Need You Now’. #travelbooksfood #indiaclicks #Keralafloods #Keralaphotos #indiatravel #travelblog #indiantraveller #indiapictures #Kerala🌴 #keralagram
  • So we had a nice time this weekend and during the mini get together, there came a topic about our wildest night. So I am asking you what is your wildest night? I have had a few but there was a crazy night in Madrid and Israel each.

  • Let us talk about Plagiarism today. As content creators, we are always prone to getting our content copied by someone on the internet. Last week I was traveling and by the time I got back, a friend alerted me to an article that seemed really similar to mine. I checked and realised that it was actually copied from 3 of my articles. It is really heartbreaking to see this and I know it will keep happening. Most of it was reworded but they had kept one unique content as is which I had spent hours collating. But if they thought they got away with it, they didn’t. They are relatively newer bloggers and many of the Indian travel bloggers in my circle now know who they are. Not because I told them but because it was so obvious that they copied my content. So they just shot themselves in their foot and I am content that they got exactly what they deserved. 😂 Most bloggers will be wary about working with them in the future. I am definitely not letting it go. But I am really busy right now and I will take action when I have time later. It is a good thing that I have a copyright lawyer as a good friend who is guiding me on what to do. What would you do? A shot from Mallorca in Spain.

  • Today I want to know your #travelfail stories. So my sister was in Buffalo for 3 weeks on work. She was scheduled to fly out on Wednesday night. But then her flight from Buffalo to New York got cancelled due to thunderstorms. She then had to reschedule her flight to Friday and this caused her company to shell out a lot of money to reschedule. Finally she flew out on Friday morning. Ended up spending more than 9 hours in New York airport. Her flight from Ny to Frankfurt was delayed which meant that she had only 30 mins in Frankfurt to catch the flight to Bangalore. She made it to the flight since all flights from the east coast were delayed and they waited at Frankfurt for her. She finally got to Bangalore on Sunday morning. But her luggage didn’t. Even though she got a message saying that her luggage has arrived, she has still not received it. Travel is sometimes funny. Do you have any stories like this?
