Hello you! My name is Sruti, and I love to explore new places, learn about new cultures, steep myself in history and architecture, and sample local cuisines. And I love to write too!
I live in San Francisco but am originally from Assam, India. I work in medtech at a 9-to-5 but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming and planning my next sojourn!
How it All started
Growing up, I have always been fascinated by history, art and architecture, which will sound unusual since I work in medtech now! But let me explain – while I love working in biotech and helping make a difference in people’s lives, my creative passions lie in traveling and learning about different cultures.
A few years ago, I moved to the US for grad school, and took up a job in the SF bay area soon after. One day, I decided to go on a solo trip to Italy, and there was no looking back after!
Even though I get limited vacation days from my job, I like to make the most out of them, and take 2-3 vacations per year. I plan well in advance (I am one of those extreme planners lol) and like to decide on a rough itinerary.
While writing my blog posts, I like to think about resources that would be the most useful for my readers. And try to add in helpful links and pepper in some fun (and not-so-fun) facts.
I hope my sojourn stories entertain you and inspire you to take the leap for your next trip!
