Resmi Jaimon : Freelance Writer, Kochi - Kerala, Mumbai

I am partly excited! I live and work in Kochi (Kerala, India), the first Indian stopover destination for Volvo Ocean Race. I already have a couple of assignments to work on and have access to the event. Seeking more assignments – from travel magazines, in-flight magazines, newspapers, and any national (Indian) / foreign or International publication interested in news/reports/features of the stopover at Kochi or Kochi related travel stories. Contact me at resmi.writer@gmail.com for further discussion.

My travelogues have appeared in various publications. Still I dreamt of seeing my travel stories / travelogues in a niche travel publication. The good news is finally, it’s happening. I have written a weekend travel piece for Media Transasia’s Discover India (October 2008) and also contributed to the news section. For more details, wait till the issue is out in the stands!
