He’s spent the last two years on the road and written three travel guides for Lonely Planet India along the way. Kunal Guha Kunal Guha loves making tiny boats in his head that move each time wind blows into his ears. He’s passionate about films, budget travelling and beer. He’s stayed in places for less than a dollar/ night and has a special fondness for islands as they offer unparalleled seclusion. Hitani Kaur Harbouring the ambition of a life less ordinary, Hitani’s compulsive need to experience novelty through people, places and perception has kept her going as a travel and lifestyle writer for the past seven years. She continues to be a work in progress. Sonam Joshi Thanks to a lifelong obsession with history, Sonam Joshi is drawn to grand and forgotten ruins, museums and cultures; and travels to expand her mind. When she’s not reading or editing travel stories, she loves discovering new places and ways of living. Boating on the Danube in Vienna, haggling at a flea market in Moscow, discovering an old Portuguese mansion in Goa, and watching Chinese fishing nets in Cochin are a few of her favourite experiences. Her camera is her constant travel companion. Anuradha Shankar Anuradha Shankar is a mother, traveller, freelance writer and compulsive bookworm; not necessarily in that order. She lives in Mumbai and aims to travel as much as she can across the country with her 10-year-old son in tow. Besides travel, her blog (anushankarn.blogspot.com) vacillates from events to random thoughts, book reviews to her son's latest peccadilloes! Reva Vidyalankar Looking at the world through her camera lens, Reva Vidyalankar is passionate about backpacking, beaches and the silence that mountain cliffs offer. When she’s not rambling about in her head looking for words, she’s found either glued to a computer or to a book. An ideal day for her would include breakfast in snow covered Mussorie, a never ending road trip, and silly experiments concocted with her sister. Mariellen Ward Mariellen Ward is a professional travel writer and cultural explorer based in Toronto and sometimes Delhi. Breathedreamgo.com, her travel blog about what she refers to as ‘meaningful adventure travel,’ is inspired by her extensive exploration of India. She writes for many print and online sites and founded the WeGoSolo online community for female solo travellers. Canadian by birth, Mariellen considers India to be her ‘soul culture’ and has spent many years immersing herself in the subcontinent’s culture. Stuart Forster Stuart Forster is a freelance writer with a passion for being out on the road. He loves trying local food and drink, is a keen history and culture buff, and goes skiing and scuba diving. With his camera a constant companion he chronicles his travels on his blog (go-eat-do.com). Prachi Joshi Prachi Joshi writes about food, travel and lifestyle for various print and digital publications. She has travelled widely since childhood and is always on the lookout for an opportunity to pack her bags and go! She loves exploring new places and cultures, and she will travel anywhere for good food. Her blog, www.deliciouslydirectionless.com, is all about her culinary travel, with a few recipes thrown in. Subhash Motwani Subhash Motwani has travelled over 35 countries and is the founder of Luxury Vignettes (http://www.luxuryvignettes.com/) which promotes experiential travel and encourages sharing of memorable experiences through tourism exchanges. Supriya Sehgal Supriya usually travels for more than 250 days in a year! She gets through that by getting willingly lost in off the beaten track villages in India, sharing a million cups of tea with strangers and a healthy dose of anecdotes from locals. This year, she's on a mission to get over her fear of heights by climbing some of the highest bridges and buildings of the world and peeping down hot air balloons. Her experiences on the road have ended up in seven books for Lonely Planet Guidebooks and features in leading national & international magazines and newspapers.
