Travel Diaries: Anushka Manchanda

In her bag
Pink and blue leopard-print sarong “which I use like a picnic blanket wherever I go”, a super warm black shawl she bought in Kashmir, Alterna Haircare’s caviar repair multivitamin heat protection spray for her hair, jasmine essential oil “in a little glass bottle to use as perfume”. And she never forgets her black Yohji Yamamoto Y-3 hoodie “because you should never travel without a hoodie!”

Wish list
A camper van, a lightweight mattress to take on camping trips, and a North Face backpack with wheels.

Next stop
Assam, Mongolia and Iceland are on her bucket list. “I really want to see the aurora borealis.”

From her travel diary
“Watching my newly made friends surf by the light of the full moon, making cocktails by the bonfire, cooking fish, and lying in the sand under the stars on an isolated beach was a wonderful recent experience.”

A locale she loves
“Sri Lanka. I love that you can go from beach to mountains in four to five hours! The country is clean and the food is great. I learnt to surf there last year and would like to go back and get better at it!”
