CURRENT MISSION

To visit at least one new country every year

ABOUT ME

I am a freelance food-n-travel writer and who has also had a short albeit interesting stint as an Intellectual Property law advocate. Till September 2016 i used to be the editor of two in-flight travel magazines.
I love travelling (dhuh!), food (dhuh again!!), dogs and kids (in that very order). Having so far travelled to 62 countries ...and counting, I consider the world my oyster and can't wait to set out along that off-beaten track once again. My all time dream destinations are Madagascar and Mozambique! I can be quite an 'Intellectual Snob' as I have been accused of being. But once you know me you'll realise that it's all a front! I love my designer wear, business class flying and all the other assorted luxuries of life I have been used to. Call me shallow if you may. But I guess, I'm worth it!!

PHILOSOPHY

Just live it!
