About me
Hi! My name is Preethi. I'm an Indian American currently based in San Francisco, California. I'm a Marketing professional by day and a travel blogger/photographer by night, proving that you don't need to quit your job to become a travel blogger. I work with tourism boards, DMOs and hotel properties to create content for their Marketing purposes. I am also passionate about helping other women experience the outdoors in a safe, and responsible way. I recently led a group of 9 first time hikers on an 8-day hut-to-hut multi-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp, in partnership with a local outfitter in Nepal. You can read some of my travel stories in theflightdeal.com, Huffpost, Mumbai Mirror, Travel & Leisure Southeast Asia and Dave’s Travel Corner. For more of my photography and travel stories visit @eagertravele on Instagram.QA
