Exploring Life Through Travel, Wellness, and Books
Hello, I’m the woman behind The Zen Journal — a blog dedicated to exploring life with curiosity, compassion, and a commitment to mindful living. At 50 years old, I’ve embarked on a journey to share my knowledge and experiences with you, focusing on three main categories: Travel, Yoga & Wellness, and Book Reviews.

My passion for travel ignited during my college years, starting with explorations within India. As life progressed, I had the incredible opportunity to visit diverse countries across the globe.

Yoga and Wellness Journey
My journey into fitness and wellness began at the tender age of six when I started learning gymnastics and participating at the national level multiple times instilled in me a deep appreciation for physical health and mental well-being.
My Fitness Background
- Gymnastics training from age 6
- National-level participation (India)

Over the years, my focus has shifted from competitive gymnastics to a more holistic approach to health. Yoga has become an integral part of my life, teaching me the importance of balance, both on and off the mat.

Book Reviews and Literary Explorations

What to Expect in Book Reviews
- Honest opinions on various genres
- Themes and lessons extracted from each book
- Recommendations based on different interests
- Discussions on how books relate to travel and wellness
I believe that books have the power to transform lives, much like travel and wellness practices. Through my reviews, I hope to inspire you to pick up a book that might just change your perspective or introduce you to a new world.
