About Priya

Priya Thomas is a Kochi-based travel writer who focuses on South Indian coastlines, backwater routes and family travel across Kerala, Tamil Nadu and coastal Karnataka. Over the last decade her work has appeared in Outlook Traveller, Conde Nast Traveller India and The Hindu, with a steady stream of practical family-travel guides for LBB. A former school teacher, she began writing seriously after her own children outgrew resort kids' clubs, and now specialises in slow itineraries that work for grandparents, toddlers and teenagers in the same car. Priya is also a vocal advocate for responsible homestays along the Malabar coast and consults occasionally with small operators on accessibility and child-friendly design.
