Hello!
I am Muskaan, an architecture graduate from School of Planning and Architecture, Bhopal, India.
Having lived in different cities since childhood, I have been fortunate enough to experience a variety of cultures first-hand. Architecture school gave me a whole new perspective of life and made me realise that I am extremely passionate about travel and writing.
I believe with every new milestone, you learn, realise and experience something new- about yourself, about others and about what surrounds us. With a zeal to try new things and showcase my potential, I look forward to hearing from you!
