About
I quit advertising in 2019 and have spent the last six years living out of two backpacks across India. Spiti is my one true love — three winters there now, two on a Royal Enfield I do not recommend renting. I write because the intel that kept me safe was buried in old TripAdvisor threads and women-only Facebook groups, and that is not a good system.
My specialty is the offbeat Indian itinerary: places where you can be the only woman on the bus and still come home with a story you want to tell. I have opinions about hostels, strong feelings about local SIM cards, and one very firm rule: never accept the first auto-rickshaw quote at a railway station.

Any local sisters in Spiti Valley right now? I'm doing my third winter there and have intel on which homestays are actually warm (literally and figuratively) in April. Happy to share over DM.
