Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog 🙂 I’m Lavanya, an Environmental Studies undergraduate, passionate environmental advocate, nature blogger, and plant-based foodie residing in the sunny and bustling city of Singapore. Here you will find my experiences, thoughts, and musings from an intersectional environmentalism lens; acknowledging the strong connections between social and environmental wellbeing.
I hope that my posts help you in some way, in seeing an issue through a different perspective or prompting you to make a small change in thinking or behavior. I hope to learn from you too, whether you’re just beginning to be more environmentally conscious or are a seasoned environmentalist, I assure you there is a place for you in this movement. We need more people, and more of our unique and valuable talents, experiences, and voices to ensure a robust, equitable fight towards our planet’s future. Happy reading, and feel free to drop me a comment or an email!

Greetings to you from Polish
Greetings from Singapore! Thank you for visiting my blog 🙂
😀
Thanks for taking a look and my blog, and deciding to follow it. I’m afraid that it has been neglected recently due to other pressures on my time. Hopefully my blogging efforts will return to normal sometime soon. A quick look at your content had impressed me. Hopefully it will also inspire me to more effort.
No problem, my pleasure! And thank you for stopping by my bog as well 🙂 You have some incredible pictures, so please keep your blog going 🙂 looking forward to reading more of your posts!
Hi Lavanya! Your blog is just amazing! The pictures are beautiful!, your writing style unique and your posts are very informative! Will surely spend more time going through all of your posts now. Great job here! Keep it up! Definitely following! 🙂
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 🙂 I can say the very same for your blog too!
Hi Lavanya, thanks for connecting with me. I was very impressed when I visited your blog recently but am even more so now that I’ve found the time to watch your Ted Talk. I hope that you will keep inspiring people of all ages to connect with nature. As a former Singapore resident, I am enjoying your blog, with so many familiar creatures. If you still haven’t see the Crimson sunbird, hang around the orchid gardens in the Botanic Gardens. That was a happy hunting ground for me. 🙂
Hi David! Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I’m so glad to hear from you! actually have seen the Crimson sunbird, but not in Botanical gardens! I will go to the orchid gardens, (thank you for mentioning that) because I still haven’t photographed it properly 🙂 Thanks a lot for your kind words and taking the time to watch my Ted Talk also! I really appreciate it 🙂
What a beautiful world you have created here~
Thank you so much! Likewise for you my friend! 🙂 It’s so inspiring to see you raise awareness for the animals with no voice.
Lavanya, thank you for following our adventures in sailing and photography. Like you we enjoy nature, and wildlife. Plenty to get inspired with and indulge your passion!
Your photos are indeed lovely!! I know that you will find both your photographic and WordPress journeys fun and rewarding!! I appreciate that you visited my neck of woods to become part of my journey too!! 🙂
Thank you so much for visiting my blog, Judy! Thank you for the kind words too! I’m definitely enjoying my experience both in photography and blogging! Especially when I get to connect with people like you- I get inspired to improve and do better! 🙂
By coincidence, a pair of Indian Grey Hornbills visited my home, too, near Delhi. These birds are slightly smaller than the ones you saw and were shy birds, hiding in the trees.
Your website is very nice…really enjoyed the content. Thanks.
Wow, that’s amazing! I’ve never seen Grey hornbills before. Oriental Pied hornbills were previously extinct in Singapore, but after reintroduction they are now being sighted more frequently in Singapore as they seem to be adapting to the urban environment. Your blog is great too! Looking forward to reading more of your posts, keep it up 🙂
Beautiful blog you have Lavanya…..nice to see your love for nature and your elegant posts…..keep it up. It’s nice to connect.
Hi Anindya, thank you so much for your kind words. I really like your blog too 🙂
Thanks…:)
It is so nice to meet you Lavanya. You have such a wonderful gift of capturing images. We’re gonna enjoy tagging along with you and seeing the world through your lens and words.
Dear Tom and Audrey, It’s so lovely to meet you too. Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts, you have a lovely blog too 🙂 It is so nice to be able to read about the nature and culture in the other side of the world through blogs like yours. I am so jealous of your beautiful dog, I’ve been wanting one since forever 🙂
Hi Lavanya. We so enjoy your site filled with rich stories and photos. We just love nature and we can see you do too. Our Emma girl sure is a sweet chocolate lab and she loves to travel and meet new people so you’re gonna have to come this way and meet her.
Hey Lavanya! I don’t know what got me here all of a sudden, but I start reading one post, and just can’t stop! I love the passion and your drive to spread awareness about something that is around all of us, but many leave unnoticed or moreso, mistreat it. Your blog is absolutely fantastic, and starting at the age of 12 is unbelievable! You’re mom and dad must be so proud! Stay fabulous my friend 😉
Thanks so much Navya ❤ I really appreciate your sweet words 🙂
