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

  • Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy Diwali! ✨
  • I asked a question in my stories this morning. What’s your morning routine? I LOVE how so many of us have a routine we follow every morning 😃 I also saw so many common elements in them! A lot of us wake up between 6 and 8, take out time to reflect or meditate or introspect, go for a walk or workout or do yoga, have coffee or tea, and THEN think about work. What really struck me was that practically ALL OF US who follow a morning routine (or the same thing in the evening, as some of you mentioned) take out time for self-care! Some of my favourites - Hugging my dog 🐶😍. Read a book. Listen to an audiobook. Make my bed. Little dance in the mirror 💃🏻. Drink apple cider vinegar with warm water (I’m going to try this). Pranayama, yoga, meditation. Spend some time in the sun. Praying. Skincare - cleansing and moisturising. Gratitude journalling, affirmations 🙌🏽. My routine involves waking up at 7, having green tea, working out, taking a shower, having breakfast, and then settling to work with a nice cup of coffee, but before I start working, I ALWAYS journal! I take out 10 minutes to do a quick once-over on myself, focus on my thoughts, understand how I’m feeling physically and mentally, garner a sense of self-awareness before I start my workday. It helps SO MUCH! I feel more put-together and organised, less scattered, and with a sense of purpose. It helps me make sense of what I’m thinking and feeling; trust me, vomiting your thoughts onto a piece of paper is SUPER helpful 😄 Plus, I try to think of a different prompt every other day to focus on different aspects of my thoughts. There are a lot of them, after all 😋 Of course, there are days (lots, to be honest) when I end up scrolling mindlessly first thing in the morning, which is the worst thing you could possibly do to yourself. Imagine letting 500 people and their lives walk into your mind that’s barely woken up, right? It’s a habit I’m trying to break, so ANY inputs would be great 😄 Tell me something. If you DON’T follow a self-care routine (and a lot of you don’t 😝), would you be interested in following one?
  • HALLO!!! My entire room transformation video went up on my YouTube channel on Saturday, and if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a sneak peek of one of the walls! 😊 I love waking up to a brand new workday everyday, because I have the most gorgeous work area. There are so many cosy corners in the room that I love and I’m actually delighted that I’m FINALLY able to use them for what they were originally designed rather than as a dumping ground for clothes, bags... you get the idea. Also, for the first time in a long time, I’ve been feeling like I’m enjoying what I’m doing. I genuinely don’t know if any of my work right now resonates with you, but I’ve found joy in what I’m doing once again and I’m trusting my gut to guide me in the right direction. I also trust YOU to do that. Which is why I’m asking you this - what do you want to see on my YouTube channel? I have ideas that I feel good about, so I’m going to go ahead with them. But I also want to know what you want to see! Your inputs really, really help and I’d be glad for suggestions. Drop some in my comments, please?
  • Festive season 2020 has been different. Every year, we keep Golu for the nine nights of Navratri, invite ladies over, dress up, eat and drink a lot of mouth-watering snacks (aka Naivedyam, aka vadas frying in the kitchen AS I TYPE THIS!), and revel in a general sense of festivity. We kept Golu again this year (swipe to see!) but no one’s been home, obviously. It’s kind of been special in its own way, though. It’s been about the family. My sister is here for Navratri for the first time in 5 years and it feels nice knowing we’re all together. Of course, we’re still devouring a lot of incredible food and any reason to dress up is a good one, isn’t it? Turns out there was an unworn saree lying in Amma’s cupboard (we’re still debating which one of us picked it up, but it’s all ours anyway 😝) and I happily donned it with a blouse that certain folks might consider scandalous, but like, it’s cute, innit? 🤣 How does festival season look like for you this year? 📸: @radhika_parthasarathy @p.prema28
