I’m Vamika, a solo traveller and writer from Jaipur, India. Growing up in Rajasthan gave me an early education in how travel can be both humbling and transformative, and I’ve spent the last 8 years chasing that feeling across Asia and beyond.

I’ve completed 45+ solo trips covering India, Thailand, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand. I speak Hindi, English and conversational Thai, the Thai came from three extended stays in Chiang Mai that turned into something closer to living there than visiting.

I write specifically for solo travellers navigating Asia: the sensory overload of arriving in Bangkok alone for the first time, the logistics of getting a SIM card that actually works, the budget hostels that feel safe, and the temples that are worth the early alarm. I cover the layover game better than almost anyone, I’ve turned dozens of airport stopovers into genuine mini-adventures.

If you’re a solo traveller heading to Asia and you want advice that’s actually been tested on the ground, you’re in the right place.
