About

I am Prajna Acharya, a full time Physical Therapist in Detroit, USA originally from Mumbai, India.

As a kid, my parents took me to many destinations both in India and abroad, this is where the curiosity and wanderlust kicked in. Also, I come from a family of foodies, all get together plans were always around where to eat and I have been a foodie ever since. In 2013, I moved to the United States to get my Masters. By 2015, I completed my Masters in Rehabilitation Sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago and in 2018 I graduated from Touro college with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. While studying and working full time, the traveller in me was always curious to explore the beautiful places around me. Over the years because of my travels I started experimenting with different cuisines too. However being a vegetarian, it highly restricted my diet or so I thought. Turns out there are plenty of interesting options even for vegetarians and hence I started noting them down since a lot of people kept inquiring about the food I ate. Thus began my journey to document my foodie experiments.

However, my primary goal still remains to travel and in the last 6 years I have travelled to 36 states in America and aim at completing all 50 soon. The last 7 years has been a hell of a ride, between pursuing my degree, getting my Physical Therapy license, managing my finances, moving 3 cities in between, working full time and dealing with visa issues but these things did not stop me from travelling outside the US and I managed to visit 11 more countries (total 31).

Life has not been the easiest but travelling is something that keeps me motivated and gives me a stronger purpose in life. I look forward to exploring new places and find comfort in travelling especially when its with family or Anish (boyfriend).
