For a travel piece on #SriLanka, I’m looking for new, exciting hotel openings across the country. Please hit me up with your recos #journorequest

RT @Adventurecom: How do you find a snow leopard in Ladakh? You find a snow leopard tracker to help you—experts who aren’t just helping tra…

You need expert eyes to spot these camouflaged cats in their natural habits. I wrote about the snow leopard trackers of Ladakh’s Lungmar Remote Camp work towards responsible wildlife tourism and conservation in the barren lands of Hemis National Park. https://t.co/85pw6LwLyg

My Uganda trip late last year lives rent free in my mind - and my latest two stories published this month are from those memorable days. Here’s a six- pager on trekking in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to see mountain gorillas, in The Peak (Singapore) https://t.co/CMj6MO0jNk https://t.co/toUTZ6eFNT

Re. this old NYT article: Whichever side of the debate you fall, remember: writing always demands focus, dedication and professionalism. Don't treat it like a hobby, don't miss deadlines, don't be afraid to take risks, don't hesitate to ask for more money. https://t.co/sWsxRGb0mo

Here's a question for writer folks: when struggling with writer's block, do you ever go back to a story you wrote ages ago and read it again, just to say - "Ok, so I CAN write. I can do this. Deep breath." No? Only me? Ok then. #freelancejournalist

Want to see cherry blossoms, but daunted by Japan's costs and crowds in peak season. Try South Korea instead. For @NikkeiAsia, I wrote about gorgeous Gyeongju, the museum without walls. https://t.co/z3jdONbFiL

For Travel + Leisure, I wrote about the unique, fascinating ecosystem of Lake Manyara National Park in Tanzania - a forest Ernest Hemingway described as “the loveliest I have ever seen in Africa.” https://t.co/BZPqomFVga

Travelling solo is wayyyyyy better than travelling with someone who’s not in the same wavelength as you. It’s the latter that can make you feel lonely and miserable, even in your dream destination #solotravel

So I stood in minus 15 C temperature, at an altitude of 3,700 meters, hoping for a glimpse of the elusive snow leopard. While I eventually saw one, the waiting gave mean important lesson in mindfulness. https://t.co/UzkWzQDw6X

Recently came across something Anthony Bourdain (purportedly) said and it resonated so hard - “Travel is not a reward for working, it's an education for living”. Yes, absolutely ✈️

It was a winter wonderland in #Armenia - at Dilijan pass, the unexpected snowfall in late winter was magical ❄️ https://t.co/w3Q8w9pARv

My December trip to Ladakh in search of the elusive snow leopard turned into a lesson in mindfulness (and I saw two snow leopards, so yaaaay!). I wrote about this exhilarating, challenging experience for @NikkeiAsia. https://t.co/UzkWzQCYhp
