Snow, ice, freezing conditions. Though the thought of this elicits fear and dread in most people, I am the person who loves winter! It is my favourite season, and growing up in a hot country, I always had this fascination with snow. Therefore it is only fair for me to choose one of the coldest…

25 European cities: A throwback
2018 marks 10 years since my first visit to Europe. It was a family holiday with my parents and sister back in 2008 when I was living in India, when we visited London and Paris. This was officially the beginning of my love affair with these 2 incredible cities. Just 4 years later, I made…
Tuscan wonder: Florence
Consistently ranked amongst the top 5 cities in Europe, Florence has a unique charm. It is a perfect reflection of Italian culture; the food, the wine, the art and architecture. It’s romantic, alluring, and pulls you back into an ethereal era, with loads to discover amidst its cobbled streets. Walk down (or up) Ponte Vecchio. This…
City in 12 hours: Berlin

Christmas trees, lights, food, champagne, Santa, carols, movies, shopping, and the festive cheer around every corner makes me warm and fuzzy. London is AMAZING during Christmas time, but I always wanted to experience…
Nordic autumn: Oslo
When I visited Oslo in 2014, the ‘scandi cool’ craze had just started. For most, Oslo is just a stopover on the way to see the Northern lights, but if you go at the right time, the city has quite a bit to offer. I think no one else does Autumn like Scandi countries do!…
Catalan treat: Barcelona
Spain was one of the countries I was most excited to visit… I had heard so much about the food, people and way of life. Barcelona oozes Spanish culture in every facet.. from its lazy neighbourhoods, to the bustling tapas bars and stunning architecture. It is easy to feel the exhaustion as you navigate this expansive…
