  • Do you love unexpected surprises in life? Let me tell you a story. We had been driving the entire day in Scotland and by the time we got to our Airbnb, it was already past 9:30 pm. We were tired and famished and there were no provisions to cook in the Airbnb either. We assumed there would be like other places in Scotland. So we went to bed hungry and exhausted but thankful for all the gorgeous sights that day. It rained that night and when we got up the next morning, we were treated to this view from our Airbnb. We hadn’t expected this view and it was really humbling to view such a fine sunrise. Unexpected surprises are sometimes the best. So tell me your unexpected surprises stories. P.s: This week would be really challenging for our family and hopefully all of you will keep us in your prayers this week.#travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #isleofskye #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #visitscotland #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #scotland_greatshots #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • Happy New Year guys. So how did you spend your New Year this year? After a intense month of traveling in December, I ended up falling sick during the last few days of last year. So I ended up spending a quiet New Year at home this year after a really long time.If you have been following my stories, you would have figured out that I am getting married sometime later this year. So life has been pretty hectic over the past few weeks. So currently still figuring out my travel plans for the year as well as trying to figure out everything else.Btw I also crossed 10k followers in the past few weeks and I am always grateful for all the support I have been getting from you guys.#travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitdenmark #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #visitcopenhagen #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #castle🏰 #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • This is probably going to be the last Instagram post of the year from my side since I am going to be held up for the next couple of weeks. This year, I am thankful for a lot of things and I did have a great year travel wise. So till you hear from me, ‘Happy holidays’ from my side and hope you welcome the next year in style.

I will always remember this as the yellow town. #travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitdenmark #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #visitcopenhagen #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #nottinghill #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • Countdown to the function of the year. 3 days to go till #mygrandmaturns90. In other news, can’t feel my legs anymore after all the dancing. This picture is from Copenhagen and was shot on the last day when I was exploring the nearby towns and villages of Greater Copenhagen.#travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitdenmark #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #visitcopenhagen #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #nottinghill #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • So everyone who meets me these days ask me where I am traveling to this month. December is usually reserved for family and friends and this year we have a very special reason. This year my Mutthassi (grandma) is turning 90 and the entire family is flying down from around the world to participate in the celebration. So all my first cousins are going to be there and it is the first time in decades that all of us are going to be together. Right now we are sitting and coordinating a dance from different countries through WhatsApp. One of them is also getting married this month and that means double celebration in the family. I will be shuttling between Cochin and Bangalore this month. And I have tons of work to finish this month too. Continuing the Autumn theme, this one was taken in London last year in Notting Hill . Autumn was just beginning and I love the colours in this one.#travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitlondon #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #londondiaries #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #nottinghill #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • I figured it was time for a change in theme and I did get some gorgeous Autumn/Fall pictures during my last few trips to Europe. So some pictures from my favourite season is on schedule for the next few weeks. Since I am already missing my favourite season.So do you see the girl under the tree?#travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitsweden #Autumn🍁🍂 #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #sweden🇸🇪 #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #malmo #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • I am exhausted. After traveling for 4 consecutive weekends including two weeks in Scandinavia and few days in London, all I want to do is curl up and sleep. But then I see the pending work I have and then I decide I have to buckle up. So the first agenda is the Travel massive meet-up this weekend. This is for all folks in the travel industry in Bangalore. We are organising our first Travel Massive chapter meet up on the 24th November. So if you belong to the travel industry and are based out of Bangalore or are in Bangalore during those dates, please don’t forget to join us. Location and other details will be visible only to approved members of Travel Massive and to registered members of the event.

Also, don’t forget to share this with your travel industry folks in Bangalore. Link in the bio. A photo from Malmo in Sweden when I went for a walk in the park. The colours of the sky gradually changed while I was there. #travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #visitsweden #clearwater #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #sweden🇸🇪 #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #malmo #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography #nikonphotography
  • There was a recent discussion in one of the blogger groups about how we are generally reluctant to share how much we make from our blogs and how we afford to travel so much. I am still not comfortable discussing how much I make since I am someone who believes that it is a private matter.But I do want to discuss my different income streams. Firstly I travel for around 3 months every year ( broken into shorter durations) and I do have a job that brings me income. Since it is our own business, I do have the flexibility to take off when I want to. But I get paid just like any other freelancing job. I also do couple of technical audits every year. In addition, I do make money off my travel blog as well. In the past, I have partnered with travel brands and tourism boards for campaigns and due to lack of time, I mostly insist on getting paid. In addition, I make money off sponsored content like paid reviews etc and this is usually disclosed. But one of my favourite sources of income is my affiliate income. For eg, if you book a hotel room or a tour from my website, I do make a commission out of it. The amount is usually few dollars but in the past year , it has finally started to add up. I also get sponsored stays in some of the places I visit. I don’t earn much through social media but it is something that I have been actively pursuing. Also, looking at other possible streams of income in terms of selling my own products as well as advertising.For me, Travel is a priority and hence when it comes to spending money on anything else other than travel, I can be a total miser. So I hope I have answered some of your queries on how I can afford to travel. Do you have any other questions?A picture from Dubrovnik in Croatia. I will send a postcard to the first three people who can guess where I am going next month after my time in London. #travelbooksfood #europe_pics #travelling_europe #croatiafulloflife #clearwater #Sheisnotlost #theglobewanderer #visitcroatia #Europe_greatshots #europetravel #travel #travelawesome #dubrovnik #letsgoeverywhere #travelblog #indiantraveller #dametraveler #postcardsfromtheworld #beautifuldestinations #travelstoke #travelphotography
