OT Recent holiday
Sushama Reddy I visited the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean and Costa Rica. It was a beautiful holiday.

OT What is your holiday style
Sushama Reddy I started out as a backpacker but now prefer eco-luxury. I generally stay at resorts that, although luxurious, are understated. These hotels are small, intimate and use locally sourced materials. On my recent trip to Costa Rica, I went on a river rafting expedition. I stayed at the Pacuare Jungle Lodge on the Pacuare River, one of the best white-water rafting destinations in the world, and we rafted down to the lodge. The lodge has just a handful of villas and the location is stunning and we had to raft out of the lodge through a Grade IV rapid. Simply brilliant

OT Favourite holiday
Sushama Reddy I have been all over the world, but my favourite destination is our very own Sikkim. I had the time of my life there.

OT Dream destinations
Sushama Reddy I want to travel to the poles or to some place close to the poles. Greenland in the northern hemisphere and Patagonia in the south fit the bill quite well.

OT What will one always find in your travel bag
Sushama Reddy I am a light traveller. I carry my mobile, charger, iPod and medicines apart from clothes and shoes. I am a practical traveller.
