🇮🇳India

Born and raised in India - and still exploring it. Here are the places I've been to across my home.
About India

India is home for me. It's a country of wild contrasts - misty hill stations and sun-baked coasts, ancient temple towns and buzzing modern cities, every state with its own food, language, and rhythm. I've spent years travelling across it whenever I get the chance, and I'm still nowhere close to seeing it all.

Since this is my home turf, consider me your local guide. If you're planning a trip to any of the places below, reach out - I'm always happy to share honest tips on where to go, what to eat, and the spots most travellers miss.
