Welcome to the launch of Roam with Rakhee and to my first blog post! My name is Rakhee and as the name suggests, I love to roam! I live in London and since the age of 8, I’ve had a sense of wanderlust, so you’ll probably find me being a tourist in my own city, on a plane, or in a country somewhere in the world.

My favourite subject at school and college was Geography and then I went on to pursue this at degree level – it meant I learnt about the world around me and could travel as part of my studies including to New York and Hong Kong for my undergraduate dissertation.

I am now 24 and have visited 28 countries so far – the aim is to keep the number of countries I’ve travelled to higher than my age!

What inspired me to start a blog?

Whenever I travel, I take A LOT of photos, believe me, A LOT. My friends have been saying for years “Why do you just post about your travels on Instagram?”, “Why don’t you start a blog?”, “Your itineraries are so cool, you should promote them!”

So I finally had a serious think about this and felt that with going into a new year and a new decade, 2020 is the time to begin this venture, which I am super excited about!

What will I be blogging about?

I want to bring you all along with me on my adventures and to inspire you to explore more of this beautiful world. I will be blogging about my travels, both in London and abroad…want to know about the best free rooftops in Hong Kong? Where to get the best views of the Hollywood Sign? From Tokyo to Mount Fuji in a day? The best spots to see the Golden Gate Bridge? How to see the best of Lisbon in 48 hours?

Do you want to make your holiday planning process simpler and more enjoyable? Rather than buying travel guides, watching lots of videos and reading through multiple Internet articles, I’ll share my itineraries with you and show you how to make the most of your holiday.

I’ll give you tips on how to make your travel photos creative and unique, how to choose the seat on the plane which will give you the best views and much more…stay tuned!

In the meantime…
