Stories and reviews crafted in collaboration with select travel brands.
The majority of content on The Urge To Wander features my
personal travel experiences booked and paid for by myself. The occasional

that are the right fit for my audience profile and only endorse those brands and
services that I have personally used and can vouch for. I value my readers’
trust most of all and promise integrity in all things I write and share.

Read MoreThanjavur – Reimagining Tamil Traditions At Svatma,
Loss of diversity, especially in the urban milieu, is inevitable in a globalised world. Pizza will often replace paniyaram. Or cappuccino, filter kaapi.
