SUMMARY
I write about ways our shifting perceptions alter our layered identities. I examine how we connect: individually, in society, with nature and place. I use creative nonfiction, prose, and poetry as tools to weave immersive narratives at the crossroads of science, history, and philosophy.
For inquiries, please email agupta@bespoketraveler.com.
I have been a contributing writer to Pink Pangea, Rebelle Society, TopTourist and Your Life Is A Trip.
