About Me
Welcome to ‘Escapes Into Nature’! I am Smita.
I have been a software engineer in US from 2000 – 2019 and then freelancer from 2019 -2020 in India. I had started questioning towards end of 2020, if job is the only way of life or is there something else for me out there. I didn’t know what else I wanted to do at that time but I decided to take a sabbatical and let life unfold by creating space for something else to germinate. It took me a year to realize that software engineering life is over for me and I want to write. As I gave more thought to it, it came to me that I want to travel and write about my travel experiences by being in nature. I wanted others to see and experience the level of contentment and happiness I felt during my travels. So, my journey into writing starting Jan, 2022 and I am experimenting and loving every challenge, learning and joy in this journey.
I have travelled in US a lot during my almost 20 yrs of life there. So, I started writing about my memorable US trail experiences from Aug-Sept, 2021 when I was in US for vacation. It was a delightful and joyful experience….each one of them. So, you can say that my niche would be solo travel (though I will share few group, family ones too) inclined towards spending time in nature; soaking in its beauty and vibrancy.
In 2022, I have plans to travel and share my experiences to the following places:
World excluding India
- Europe
- Bhutan

I would also be sharing my recent travel experiences in last 2-3 years in US

So, join me in this journey to experience and plan your nature trips. I will provide you complete info to plan your trips and enjoy these places. I have become full-time traveler and more places would be added to this list as life goes on. Subscribe to my blog to hear about new places that you too can enjoy with your family or solo.
