Freelance Writing Projects
You can connect with me for freelance writing projects or articles primarily focusing on nature, culture, solo camping, trekking, hitchhiking and slow, sustainable and responsible plastic-free travels. I would be happy to learn about any local enterprise supporting sustainability and advocating climate actions. For the past 3+ years I have slow-travelled across India and Nepal, investing months or weeks in a single place, connecting rather than hurrying. Three months in rural Garhwali villages, almost a month in a remote corner of Uttar Pradesh, three months around Kathmandu, and even during the pandemic, I took refuge in a tourist-free Munsyari. And I have hitchhiked solo across India for the greater part!

Travel Collaborations
And that brings me to the next prospect, travel collaborations with other blogs, travel magazines, Tourism Boards, Homestays, local enterprises, and eco-sustainable travel-responsible projects! The collaboration can be both for my blog and my YouTube Channel. That is to say, both in terms of writing and visual storytelling.
Travel Consultancy
Travel consultancy. After years of travelling solo, I believe I can provide useful and practical tips and information, guide the way and encourage people, especially women, to travel solo.
As a travel consultant, I provide in-depth customized itineraries for your trip, the ultimate guide on everything you can do to explore a place beyond the Google-pinned destinations, and answer any question you may have regarding travelling. The charges may vary as per your requirement. Shoot me an email at ipsitapaul29@gmail.com for more details.
Journalism Prospects
I always look forward to any journalism prospect that puts me closer to the heart of a culture, give me an opportunity to share meals with nomadic tribes while interviewing, learning and documenting untold stories. Reach out to discuss substantial on-ground research prospects or surveys that focus on life as lived.
Happy Travelling!
