About Ambica Gulati

 

“Happy feet, happy hearts, good food, a gypsy soul–that’s the story behind this blog. I explore, write, have fun and I think I make merry. I like to go to places where no man has gone, but it doesn’t happen too often. I like to do things that make me curious, and like to learn from I meet on this journey.”

Born out of passion to find places where people break their shackles and come back with renewed enthusiasm, A Traveller’s Wish List (https://atravellerswishlist.com/) was  started in 2014. The blog takes a 360º view of travel covering both business and leisure verticals, talks about food and culture, has product reviews and some lifestyle elements such as spas and accessories like bags, shoes, sunshades, cameras, phones and even automobiles.

Having spent almost two decades in the world of journalism, I have worked with and written for prominent publications such as Swagat, Outlook Traveller, Life Positive and Harmony. I also ran a publishing house for many years, bringing out a magazine Training & Management. I have edited books and coffee table books too (100 Legal Luminaries of India). During this journey, I discovered my storytelling skills (written as well as visual) and that’s the experience I translate into weaving experiential travelogues and stories through the digital medium now.

I also pen stories on Delhi-based Little Black Book (lbb.in) and US-based medium.com. I also freelance for various newspapers and magazines such as Patriot, Exotica, Dialogue (magazine for Delhi Airport), Mail Today, Femina, Spice Route magazine and The Hindu.

What you will find here? Tales, tips, names, suggestions, places, cultures, helpline numbers, visa information, sites to visit, business calendars, information which can help you make the right choices.

Happy reading and do write in and stay connected on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+, Pinterest, Linkedin
