A seasoned writer and editor, I fully believe that the pen is mightier than the sword. If I were given three wishes, one would definitely be to have the ability to travel - in time, dimension and places! Basically, I want a TARDIS! Of the 40 countries I've visited, Jordan, Japan, Italy and Croatia are my top favourite. London, having lived there, will always have my love, but Nepal and India have my soul! I love adventure (I'm from the mountains, what did you expect!), sports, music and food, so I travel to catch concerts, matches and races. I mostly write about off-beat travel, local experiences, best shopping spots, travel guides and coffee shops. Basically, give me coffee, a book, adventures and an enchanted forest, and you'll never hear me complain.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/aakankshasd\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aakankshasinghdevi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/AakankshaSD"],"url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/aakanksha\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136609"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136609"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136609\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":178190,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136609\/revisions\/178190"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136609"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136609"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136609"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
