“I’m off to Kos next week,” I told my friend as we grabbed a coffee at work. “Kos?? Why Kos, surely you want to go to santorini, or Mykonos, or Crete?’ The influence of instagram and tiktok was starting to show. “Whats so great about Kos?” he continued. I laughed, I couldn’t really blame him,…
Ferns, fairytales and finding your inner hobbit: Puzzlewood
“I thought all the trees were whispering to each other, passing news and plots along in an unintelligible language, and the branches swayed and groped without any wind. ” – Lord of the Rings, the two towers Do you recognise this quote? It’s one from the famous JRR TOLKIEN’s Book, ‘The Lord of the Rings’,…
Ancient Stones, Modern Questions: Visiting Stonehenge in 2025
Despite having been so close to Stonehenge throughout University, I genuinely had never been. I had seen pictures on social media of people going and how much joy and curiosity it filled people up with. However, I genuinely thought ‘cool, rocks, i guess?’ Silly doesn’t even cover half of it. It isn’t till I read…
From Ruins to Riviera: A 3-Day Dorset Adventure
‘You’re going to Devon? No Dorchester!? Where is it you’re going again?’ Dorset—a county in the southeast of England—had been sitting pretty on my bucket list for ages. I genuinely thought it was one of those places everyone had heard of. I mean, come on, Durdle Door? That epic natural arch that’s starred in both…
Going Back to the Village: What It’s Like Visiting Your Grandparents’ Hometown
Going back to India—specifically, to Himachal—has always stirred a curious mix of emotions in me. And yes, before anyone clutches their pearls, let me just say: I know Himachal is stunning.

Chasing Waterfalls: A Hike Through the Brecon Beacons’ Four Falls Trail
TLC might’ve said “don’t go chasing waterfalls,” but I’m willing to bet they never stumbled upon the Brecon Beacons in full flow. Welcome to the self‑proclaimed “waterfall country,” where we scuttled off for my mum’s birthday (sorry, TLC—she’s still holding a grudge). Tucked into South Wales’ Brecon Beacons National Park, the Four Falls Trail is…
One suitcase, two cultures and zero regrets (thanks desi guilt)
It’s no secret that I love to travel — I’ve probably said it (and posted about it) more times than I can count. But it’s only in the last year or two that I properly started solo travelling. Social media is full of women confidently jetting off on their own, exploring new countries like it’s…
From Scrubs to Suitcases: Finding Travel Time in a Busy Medical Career
“You’re travelling again?! Don’t you want to focus on your career?” Ah yes — the classic question I’ve been asked more times than I can count (usually right after I post a travel photo). Apparently, being a doctor and booking flights aren’t allowed in the same sentence? Here’s the thing — I love to travel….
A lazy girl’s 4 day guide to Salzburg and beyond
I won’t lie—Austria had never really been high on my travel list. In fact, I barely considered it. The thought of Vienna, a big city packed with one museum after another, didn’t really appeal to me. But it didn’t take long to change my mind. It all started with a rewatch of The Sound of…
Unmasking Venice: a traveler’s guide to the carnival
*ring ring*, it was Stefania. My friend who’d I’d met in my travels through Cyprus last year. One of the few where we had actually managed to stay in touch and had promised to see each other again in a different country, under a different sky. Excitedly she said ‘sooooo, Venice carnival? Are you in?’ …
