Immersive Travel Experiences, Local Culture, Hidden Gems
  • Neha caught the travel bug in her teens on a family trip to Malaysia and has visited over 30 destinations since.
  • She believes in immersive travel experiences and exploring on foot, far exceeding the recommended 10,000 steps per day on her trips.
  • At Islands, she is relishing the opportunity to combine her two passions: travel and the written word.

Experience

Neha has worked as a professional writer since late 2017. Her journey began as a content writer for a digital marketing agency, where she explored different writing niches and eventually leaned towards lifestyle and travel writing. Her contributions are featured in several online publications like Bookmundi, Wedbook, and DNA Media. With a deep love for outdoors and local culture, she crafts engaging content that inspires readers to explore a destination's hidden gems besides the obvious highlights. She plans to get certified in yoga and meditation at a hilly retreat someday.

Education

Neha has a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from VIT University, Vellore, India. Although she pivoted from her educational background within a year of graduating, this degree gave her the analytical skills to help her establish a broad career as a freelance writer.
