I spoke to, Sucheta Rawal, a travel expert with a mission to raise awareness in the world through meaningful travel and cultural understanding. Sucheta spoke to me about when she moved away from India at the age of 17 to America. In particular, we discussed some fundamental reasons why telling that story, whether it is through writing or other various social media outlets, was a vital narrative to inform and inspire, especially as she is from a south Asian background. We spoke about going from working in the corporate world to writing articles on food and eventually pursuing her passion for food and travel. That passion led Sucheta to become a Writer, and she has regular publications with the likes of CNN, Creative Loafing, CheapOAir, and The Huffington Post. From our talk, you will also see that she likes to draw on her own experience of travelling to 100 countries across 7 continents and inspiring others to travel sustainably to give back to communities. This passion led her to form, 'Go Eat Give,' in 2011. We discussed what the organisation can provide grassroots around the world and how it offers customised travel experiences to individuals and groups. I also discussed with Sucheta about her successful children's illustrative books on travel, 'Beato Goes To.' What led her to want to create this for kids, and whether there are more books on the way. With her passion for food, she spoke to me about her love to cook a different cuisine each night. Sucheta was a delight to talk to. It is quite an in-depth talk we had, but I could have spoken to her for days and not got bored. Her story is an inspirational one, and I will be keeping an eye out for what's next to come, as I am intrigued to see her succeed more.
