About: My love for travel was inevitable with how much my parents themselves went on holidays. Combine that with my love for writing, and I couldn’t have found a better way to spend my time.

My travels have shown me that I’m definitely a mountain person. I’m drawn to culture-rich places and travel to connect with people, places, and myself. When I’m not writing, I’m thinking about the Himalayas, reading, or dreaming of life in a quiet Peruvian town.

I studied law, moved into content marketing, and somewhere along the way, fell in love with travel. Growing up in the U.S. and exploring Southeast Asia opened my eyes to how vast the world is and now I tell stories that help others explore it too.

What we live by

We see travel as a way to engage deeply with places and people. Our articles are shaped by real experiences and a respect for the world we explore. To head out, for us, means staying curious, treading mindfully, and seeking out the moments that make the world worth exploring.

This is the spirit with which we write about cities like Dubai. As Amulya, who’s written much of our Dubai guides based on her time in the city, puts it:

“Dubai is one of the most thoughtfully designed cities I’ve been to. It’s impressive that this urban sci-fi dreamscape rose from a humble fishing village in just over 50 years.”
