Quick Shots
Your most unexpected skill outside travel?
I could whip up something yummy with leftovers. I don’t like to waste food.
A destination that pleasantly surprised you?
Remote villages of Uganda, they’re way beautiful and cleaner compared to the capital city.
The travel buzzword you’re officially tired of hearing?
‘Hidden gem.’ If it’s on your reel, it’s not hidden anymore.
Your go-to travel hack that always works?
Build relationships, not just itineraries. A good local contact beats any ‘Top 10 Things to Do’ list.
- If travel had a theme song, what would yours be?
It’ll be a Malayalam song ‘Sreeragamo’ because travel for me is quiet, immersive, and deeply personal.
