Anwesha Santra

She follows stories the way others follow maps. Anwesha, a lawyer-turned-journalist, believes travel isn’t about ticking destinations off a map, but uncovering the human pulse of a place. A fierce advocate for human rights, climate issues and biodiversity conservation, her journeys are shaped as much by conversations with communities as by the landscapes around them. Off the road, she usually drifts between immersing herself in the slow rhythms of art films or appealing classics of literary greats.
