Traveling across 15 countries and spanning 3 continents, Shivya, who quit her corporate job to pursue her passion for traveling, writes this travelogue with much dedication and passion. As is apparent from majority of her blog posts, Shivya has developed a keen sense akin to that of a wayfarer that is duly supported by her experience at working with various travel and tourism firms of international repute.

Her travel sojourns have rendered her style of writing a much credible voice. She writes in a manner of a story-teller, words carefully weighed and weaved in a pattern that eases and gives the reader a relaxed-read feeling. There are personal experience, handy tips, issues pertaining to solo-travel and other information well narrated and presented in various entries from time to time.

Aesthetically, the blog is well laid out. To begin with, most posts are ideally supplemented with photographs that are centric to the story. The welcome page has a cover photo that keeps changing; giving out snippets of one story at a time. Being quite popular in this genre of writing, there are a whole lot of recognitions that have been awarded to this blog that is modestly aligned to the right; furthermore reinforcing authenticity. The menu on top allows easy navigation to some of her works pertaining to thought bursts pertaining to offbeat travel, travel links and highly acclaimed publicized work.

Shivya has, through her blog, captured the ever-fascinating essence of traveling and effortlessly blended it with skillful writing and this is what gives us enough and more reasons to feature her as our Bloggerati of the Fortnight.
