About Pallavi Aiyar
I’ve spent 25 years living across the world, in 8 countries, on 3 continents. As a practiced peripatetic I have learned a thing or two about what makes some cultures tick a certain way, while others tock differently. In this “newsletter” I will write a short weekly essay on travel. I will discuss languages and foods; how different cultures “touch” differently and certainly smell different too.
I’ll be writing about some of the special places in the cities I have lived in from Beijing and Brussels to Jakarta and Tokyo. But whether I’m talking of palaces or toilets, I promise I’ll make you look at these cities with new lenses.
