Who am I?

by whimsthatwoo

I love to call myself a ‘Solo and a Responsible Traveller’

A marketing manager and a graphic designer by profession, I love to sketch, write and explore different places.

My love for travel comes from my experiences in my first company, where I was fortunate enough to get to go to some very exotic locations for work. I actually cannot thank them enough to give me those chances which led me explore this passion of mine!

I have realized that travelling for me is just not for leisure or a get-away from the grind! It is something that I love doing, it’s my passion! I love going to different places, interacting with people from different cultures, having my coffee in those cute little cafes. These experiences give me immense joy and happiness!

Also, I am a promoter of responsible travelling. I believe in taking care and being responsible for all the aspects: environmental, social, and economic aspects of any place I visit!

When work or travel is not keeping me busy, you will find me sketching or reading.
