    Nuwara Eliya – 3 Days in the Heart of British Ceylon

    Rolling tea plantations under a fresh, blue sky and a crispness in the air that made me feel like a very dusty, worn-out version of me had just walked through a sheet of cool water and emerged a new person…

Hi! Im Preethi!

I'm a travel-mad experience chaser who quit corporate to chase what my heart called out for, and here I am blogging, vlogging and podcasting.

I'm a sucker for experiences and all things offbeat. A lot of what you see here is solo, and it remains a favourite style of travel.

Come for the details, stay for the stories :)

I hope you have a good time!

Love, Preethi

Someone who I vibe with, I travel with, has the same level of crazy, my 3 am check-in, and also someone I go to for professional advice. We graduated from JBIMS together, joined Citi together and have been inseparable since. Fun story: I was interning with Citi in Chennai and she was interning with HUL at the same time. Some of our earliest memories involve eating tons of ice cream together. This badass human has gone and started HER OWN BUSINESS in the lockdown. After a lifetime of delivering corporate trainings and doling out professional up-skill techniques within organisations, she’s formalised it into her own venture - @letsskillup . @letsskillup offers individual and corporate services. You could be someone looking for a new job, or a change in your current one. Get your CV whipped into shape by one of the best. If you’re looking for a personal branding session, or a full-fledged training for yourself or your organisation, feel free to drop Nidhi a message. If you have questions about corporate etiquette or preparing for interviews or email hygiene (this is SO IMPORTANT OMG), there’s no one better to reach out to. I can’t tell you how proud I am of this human. So today is a Let’s Celebrate my Best Friend Day! Nidhi is organising a giveaway for 2 LUCKY PEOPLE - Resumé Upgrade services valued at Rs. 1000 each. It’s super easy to enter! 1. You have to be following @letsskillup and @peppytravelgirl 2. TAG A FRIEND who you think can benefit from @letsskillup ‘s services and tell us WHY you want this!

  • Helloooo!! How is everyone doing? I’ve been alright. The podcast is going well, videos are going up, I’ve been reading, working out, dancing.. I feel like I’ve had to find my pace and what works for me, and work with that. I’ve actually been quite irritated with my body. See, I’ve gained some weight, and I can’t love it, it’s quite disappointing. I see dark circles that have made my face a permanent home, and my skin looks super dull. My period has been out of whack this whole lockdown. My cycle varies from 33 days to 40 days now, an abrupt departure from its standard 28. It’s my 35th day right now, I’m bloated af, I’m curled up with incredibly painful PMS, but no sign of the period turning up. Sigh. All of this affects me, you know? I stop myself from doing things I want to, like shoot a video with myself in it because I think I look awful, or even record myself practising dance because I can’t even look at myself. I start measuring my sense of worth by how I look and feel, and yes, I’m aware this isn’t healthy, but really, telling me this won’t help, because I already know 🙈 It bothers me more that this is stopping me from working 😔 I love being in front of the camera, but what can I doooo when I don’t like how I look? I knowwww this whole accept-your-body thing is something I have to do for myself but it’s really hard, okay? I’m catching myself every time I’m unkind to myself and I guess that’s something. I just wish it didn’t have to be so much of a struggle. Anywayyyy. Legit hope you are doing better. And I certainly hope that everyone menstruating has their cycles on track 🙆🏻‍♀️ PS: I’m at home. The location tag is only for those curious about the picture. Cheers!
  • Today, last year, this happened. — @officialhumansofbombay “I was an ambitious girl, with certain goals I wanted to achieve–a well paying job, independence & savings for my future. After my MBA, I started working at a bank & was there for 3.5 years. But once, on my way home from work–I noticed that everyday I was stuck in traffic at the same place. That’s when I realized that I was stuck too–not moving forward, or doing anything new. In that moment, I resolved to not waste even a single minute doing what didn’t like doing. I decided to take a solo trip to Pondicherry. My parents were apprehensive, but they saw how desperate I was & let me go. On my first day I rented a bike & went sightseeing–just then, my bike overturned. I fell down & injured my leg. People nearby rushed me to the hospital & I’d to spend the rest of my trip, stuck to a hotel bed. But sitting on a bed in Pondicherry, still made me happier than anything else. So after coming back, I started saving to go to Eastern Europe for my birthday! My first stop was Hungary, I remember I was sitting at the reception at the hostel. A bunch of people walked in–they were drunk but were laughing away. They looked like best friends. They sat next to me & started talking. They were all from different cities & had only met each other a day before. I spent the whole day with them, & then even went partying at night. After that, I went to Innsbruck, Salzburg, Vienna & Prague. And as cliche as it sounds, when I came back, I was a transformed person. I told my parents that I was quitting my job & taking a break. I used my savings to plan trips & created an online blog. Soon, I even won a contest through which I was taken across India & even anchored my own travel show on national television! I just needed faith to live the life I wanted to. Today It’s almost been a year since I’m a full-time traveller. It’s not easy–there are days when I don’t know where my next income will come from. I don’t have anything stable ‘cushioning’ me. But it’s okay, because the times when I’m sitting at some random corner in the world, marveling at the beauty of it all, laughing with strangers–I feel content, my life feels complete.
