A why-me moment followed by life-is-so-unfair and all-men-are-dogs ones made Puneetinder Kaur Sidhu want to run away as far as she could. Today, that's turned her into one of the funnest, fiercest Indian women travellers in foreign lands, doing what no one could've ever thought of

A meeting with Puneetinder Kaur Sidhu is like a Wiki session on travelling. She's been there, done that, returned and repacked. While most of her counterparts continue to live by the age-old 'have money, will travel' adage, she tweaks it to her temperament "little or no money, will yet travel". And her inexpensive experiences, chronicled in the travelogue Adrift: A junket junkie in Europe, aptly reflect the thirty-something's bold, bindaas attitude. A meeting reveals yet more.

How is Adrift different from the loads of travelogues we read?
I honestly feel that travel, as a medium of writing, is still very untapped in the country. There are travelogues all right, but most of them are destination-driven, rather than journey oriented. I have tried to portray the various aspects of Europe, right from the people, food and practices, and how they affected me personally. The book is filled with interesting anecdotes picked up from all over the world.
