About and Contact

Welcome to Rashminotes! Thanks for stopping by.

This blog is a journal of my tryst with travel, décor and food.  Some of my hobbies include travel, reading, writing, photography, cooking and eating good food.

Travel for me is not about taking a break or relaxing.  Most of my travels involve “jam packed”, hectic schedules as I want to make most of my visit to any destination.  Apart from visiting the tourist attractions of a place, I love to venture out exploring the ‘unconventional’  and the ‘uncommon’. Learning about the unique customs and culture of a place, interacting with the locals and sampling the local and authentic cuisine is always on my “to-do” list while travelling. That said, I firmly believe that the journey is as important as the destination.  So my travel posts include journals, post pertaining to experiential travel and treading off the beaten track.

Apart from travel, I am passionate about everything related to home décor be it plants, artefacts or recycling and up cycling stuff, something that I particularly enjoy.   I love antiques, heirlooms and anything vintage.  Apart from that I am a big fan of kitsch and adore things that are quirky, rustic and shabby chic.

I hope you enjoy reading my diaries as much as I enjoy posting them.  I would love to hear your comments and feedback.

All the images on the blog are either mine or are attributed to their original source (or the most original source I can find!). If you use any images from my blog that are my own, please link back to their source.  Also, if you would like to share articles, I ask that you credit me as the writer (or credit the writer as well as the link back to this source in the case of guest posts) and do not make any alterations to the text.

Enjoy reading!
