Inspiring Travel Writing from Lakshmi Sharath
Lakshmi is a media professional and a travel enthusiast. Writing and travelling have always been her twin passions. She used to travel whenever she got a break from work, and then started writing travelogues in to keep the passion alive; this soon turned out to be an obsession. She loves offbeat destinations, meeting locals and looking up the stories, the myths and the historic details about the places she visits. Her love for travelling and writing finally pushed her into taking a sabbatical from her job to pursue this road not taken. Lakshmi writes for a few publications and websites and has her own travel blog - http://backpakker.blogspot.com.
