grown up in the urban city of Bengaluru, my travels were limited to weekend getaways to nearby temple towns with the promise of a good drive and a sumptuous meal. When not this, books were my haven and through them, I travelled to places far, wide, and beyond. Until 2021! In 2021, a solo trip to Leh helped me discover a purpose to my travels - being one with nature. Somewhere between catching a surreal sunrise from the flight window to being mesmerised by a million twinkling stars in an inky black sky, I discovered the transformative power of travel. And what better way to help share these travel stories than through words, sprinkled with snippets of my own travel experiences. As a travel writer, I write about travel guides, seasonal travels, nature escapades, history &amp; culture, and handy tips to make your travel a lot more comfortable and familiar. Presently on my travel bucket list are a Himalayan road trip and a visit to Otterberg, Germany! Until then, I\u2019ll continue my travels through literature, storytelling, movies, and conversations.","url":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/author\/jyothsna\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76984"}],"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\/172"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76984"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":192423,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76984\/revisions\/192423"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
