One destination that will never be on your wishlist?
All places freezing cold, such as Alaska, are just not on my radar.

Luxe Louis Vuitton or a Samsonite luggage?
Samsonite, I own it.

Your five travel must haves…
Sunscreen, sunglasses, my mobile phone, bankcards and a hair clip.

Indian Airlines.

Your beauty travel kit includes…
A shampoo and conditioner, bronzer cream, a cream blush, one compact, a mascara, eyeliner, lip balm and a moisturising cream.

Staying at a five star or a local guesthouse?
Five-star hotel.

What tops your priority on a holiday: Sight-seeing or shopping?
Neither. But I might keep a day for shopping.

You prefer local street food or hygienic retail cafeterias?
Local street food.

Are you a beach bunny or a terrain traveller?

Your favourite holiday spot?

Flowy dresses and tops, shorts, rubber chappals, a waterproof bag and minimal accessories.

Choose between a bikini and a maillot?
Bikini.
