    3 days in Yogyakarta – Discovering a Cultural Gem

    Yogyakarta, or Jogjakarta, locally called ‘Jogja’, is a little city in the heart of Java. I came across this city when I was reading up on how I should spend a week in Bali, and what I saw online made…

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

  • Lockdown got me missing my best friend’s birthday!! She sent a picture of her birthday cake on our friends group and I couldn’t believe I was missing out on celebrating with her. “Send me some of that cake you’ve baked!” I messaged her. “But HOW 😭” she replied. I opened up @lalamovein on my phone, quickly entered the pick-up and drop addresses and within 20 minutes, I had a box of cake delivered at my doorstep 😄 Well. I couldn’t be there. But I did get to celebrate her birthday remotely at the very least 😄 That cake, though? Delicious 😍 NEEEEED a service like this in my life! Makes everything SO MUCH easier and faster! @lalamovein offers speedy door to door pick up and drop services in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Ahmedabad. I used it for a small item, but they have 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, mini trucks, tempos and trucks to transport anything from personal documents to large size goods. I’ve got something special for you. Download @lalamovein and use code ‘LA20’ in the wallet section for a discount on your first order! #lalamoveit #lalamoveindia #deliverfaster
  • Hey everyone! I’ve been a little quiet here so thought I’d do a quick roundup of what’s going on. I recently wrapped up a big work engagement. I also wrapped up a smaller work engagement. I’ve uploaded 15 episodes of my podcast and have scheduled some very interesting ones. I’ve listed down ideas for a YouTube series as well as for a photo-series that I’ve been wanting to do. At this very moment though, I’m not doing anything. I’m not shooting, I’m not recording, I’m not writing. I’m burnt out. And so, I’m doing the only thing one can - and should - do when they’re burnt out. Let it pass. Taking a moment (or two, or three, or ten) and let it pass. Trying not to pressurise myself into getting over this, or forcing myself to create, or feeling guilty about not doing a lot. In this phase in my life, I need to look at everything as it is and just... let myself be :) So that’s what I’m doing. Taking time off, nursing cold coffee with a good book, reading books, letting my mind wander wherever it wants to, except work. It’s not too easy because there’s no timeline to these things, but I think it should get better the less I stress about it. And I haven’t done this in a WHILE, so maybe now is a good time to find out? How are you all doing?
  • Onam Ashamsakal to everyone celebrating 😊 Swipe for a general progression of what happens when I’m shooting. I couldn’t pick one 😛 The number of sadhya stories I’ve been seeing has been making my mouth water and I really want to indulge. Another thing to add to the list of ‘when this pandemic ends, I shall...’ 😄 But I got to play dress-up today! When @keralatourism told me they wanted to send me something for Onam, I didn’t think it would be a gorgeous Kasavu with an elegant green and gold border. Had to see how it looked, so I hopped into a red blouse from a different saree. Couldn’t meet friends this year, but I’m happy I’m celebrating this way 😊 Wishing everyone joy and prosperity 💚
  • Rainy days call for cosy moments with a great book and a cup of white tea. Stories, food, and trinkets really help transport you into different places and times! 😍 I was browsing through @amazonkarigar’s #StandForHandmade online store and I fell in love with these beautiful handcrafted wooden coasters. The colours looked rich, the embroidery intricate, and I thought it fit perfectly in the house. This set has been made by the Amazon Saheli’s women artisans, and since artisanal products are usually one of a kind and unique, I felt like THIS piece in particular was made just for me. It’s also purple, which just happens to be my favourite colour 😉 Local artists and weavers have had their primary means of selling impacted by the pandemic, and @amazonkarigar ‘s #StandForHandmade initiative has been working on a model to help them out! Artists selling on the platform are not charged a referral fee, which means that they can make the maximum money from a sale! It’s SUCH an easy way for us to lend a hand, right? We’re doing it JUST by going shopping for something gorgeous and unique. Win-win! Go check out the store! There’s so much to choose from, you just might be spoiled for choice 😄 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Add art to your cart!! #amazonkarigar #amazonsaheli #vocalforlocal
