Priya Hawkins

Born to an Indian father and New Zealand mother who met while working at a technology company, Priya grew up straddling two distinct cultural worlds and developed an early fascination with languages and cultural artifacts. After building a successful career in digital forensics, a three-month sabbatical tracking down her ancestral history through museums across India and New Zealand sparked her travel blog, which uniquely combines her technical expertise with her passion for cultural preservation and language learning.
