ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Nivetha!
I’ve always been drawn to new hobbies, art forms, and ways of living — not chasing mastery, but following the spark of curiosity. Being multi-passionate felt confusing once, but now I see it as my greatest joy.

When travel entered my life, it deepened this seeking — revealing the incredible crafts, traditions, and wisdom shaped across cultures. From this intersection of curiosity and exploration, Piqued Pilgrim was born.

This is a space to celebrate lifelong learning, slow adventures, and the quiet magic of wandering for the love of discovery. If you’ve ever felt the thrill of trying something new, you’ll feel right at home here.
