The Writer Behind the Words

Hello Readers! I'm Ishita Shah, and my journey into the world of travel began at the age of 7, thanks to my wanderlust-filled parents who instilled in me a love for exploring new places. My very first travel destination outside of Bahrain (home country, its pretty cool I know!!) was none other than vibrant Dubai 🇦🇪—talk about starting big!

From the beginning, two things were non-negotiable on our family trips: top-notch hotels and delicious food. Blame my mom and dad for setting the bar high—I've inherited their taste for luxury and culinary adventures. Even now, when I travel solo or with friends, I find it hard to compromise on these comforts.

Growing up, I often found myself jealous of my sister, whose July birthday 🎂 meant celebrating in different countries. Imagine my envy when she marked her 13th in Las Vegas🙄—who goes there before turning 21? But all was fair when I finally got to celebrate my own birthday in Antalya, Turkey 🇹🇷, a memorable milestone outside of our home in Bahrain.

As I moved abroad for studies and started budgeting with my own earnings💷, navigating travel on a tighter purse string became a fun challenge. With friends, we always found a sweet spot between cost and experience—it's not as hard as it sounds!

On this blog, I'm not just sharing travel tales; I'm your guide to student life in Coventry, London, and Birmingham 🇬🇧. I'll dish out budget-friendly options for cool places to eat, affordable places to live, and insider tips on making the most of your time here. Student life can be rough some days, but reading about my mishaps will hopefully bring a smile to your face and remind you that we're all in this together.

From late-night study sessions to navigating group projects, living in student accommodations, juggling part-time work, and sharing the hilarious experiences of my friends—I'll share it all. My goal is to help you navigate this unforgettable time in your life and ensure you make the most out of every moment ✨.
