Resmi Jaimon : Freelance Writer, Kochi - Kerala, Mumbai

"Tempting apples," talks about the place 'Kanthalloor' in Munnar. It's published in the Weekend section of Discover India (December 2008).

My travelogue on Willingdon Island, Kochi plus a short note on pre-event Volvo Ocean Race Stopover in Cochin story has appeared in Jetairway's inflight magazine - Jetwings (December 2008).

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!

I also have travel stories based on my recent visits to: Goa Kodaikanal Munnar As for Munnar, I have a very special story - which could be an interview feature or a travelogue. In addition to this, I am open to write about travelogues or travel guides related to Kochi or Thiruvananthapuram (the commercial and capital cities of Kerala respectively), any time I am assigned to do so! I have lived in Thiruvananthapuram for 23 years and now settled in Kochi. Photos are also available for all the above mentioned stories.
