In another life, I lived and worked in New York City. I am currently based out of Kochi, a seaside town in Kerala, India. I own an experiential travel company called Silk Route Escapes. I get to discover authentic India and deliver personalized, off-beat, life-changing travel experiences to global travelers. My latest project is Kayal, a 4-cottage island retreat in the backwaters of Kerala. Rated amongst the Best 24 Hours on Earth by Nat Geo and 12 Incredible Boutique Hotels in India, Kayal is ideal for the experience seeker. I love movies, theater, art, and design. If you are my guest, there will be more travel, more breaking bread with the locals, more unexpected adventures, more beautiful design, more authentic experiences, and more village adoptions.
