ABOUT ME
If you’ve ever typed “best things to do in [city]” and opened 17 tabs—only to find the same touristy spots repeated again and again—you’re not alone.
Laptops and Landscapes was born from that frustation and a desire to find better, more authentic travel experiences.
Laptops & Landspaces is for travelers who want to:
- Make the most of every trip
- Avoid tourist traps
- Experience the real vibe of a place, not just skim the surface
Whether you’re heading off for a long weekend or planning your one big trip of the year, I help you cut through the noise and discover the local gems, food spots, hidden corners, and cultural moments that make a destination truly unforgettable.
What You’ll Get
Hidden gems, not headline attractions
You’ll still see the famous sights—but I’ll also show you where locals go, what to eat, how to avoid crowds, and how to find the places that give a destination its soul.
Practical, time-saving itineraries
Everything here is designed for travelers with full-time jobs and limited PTO. You’ll get clear, efficient itineraries you can use without wasting hours planning.
Immersive experiences
I don’t do cookie-cutter lists on the well trodden path. Think – street food in alleyways, late-night jazz bars, rooftop cafes, scenic hikes, local rituals—the stuff that stays with you.
Hi, I’m Ayushi
I’m a Kiwi now based in London, and I’ve traveled to over 50 countries while working full-time. I’m obsessed with finding hidden gems, connecting with local culture, and of course—trying all kinds of local food recommendations.
This blog started as a way to document the kinds of travel experiences you want a friend or local to recommend: the places locals actually go, the little moments that don’t show up on TripAdvisor, and practical itineraries that make the most of limited time. I’m here to share those finds with you—so you can skip the generic, go deeper, and experience more (even on a tight schedule).
TL;DR: Why read this blog
Authentic travel experiences beyond the obvious
Efficient planning that saves you time
Real insight into each destination’s vibe, culture, and local favorites
If you love travel, have limited time, and want your trips to actually feel worth it—this blog was made for you.
