I, Heena was born and raised in Mumbai but grew up in Sikkim, Manipal, Montenegro, Japan and all over the world. I enjoy exploring cultures, foods, sights, languages and meeting people. I have travelled through all union territories and most states of India. I have experienced about 20 countries including 45 of the 47 prefectures of Japan. Apart from blogging, I spend my time looking for greener alternatives in daily life, working out, collecting and writing postcards.

At the moment, I work remotely as a mechanical engineer, help SMEs in operating better, own a postcard shop and write a weekly column on sustainable travel and lifestyle for the Gomantak Times. I also teach Japanese and English language, do interpretations and translations.
