Hi, I’m Rosie and welcome to my blog. Come and join me on my journey around the world.
I worked as a radio producer at the BBC for 21 years before packing it all in earlier this year. I’m now a travel blogger, content creator and Sangeet singer (Indian wedding singer). I lead a very busy life and I hope you’ll feel inspired at the most and entertained at the least.
The Blog
I started this blog back in 2018 and my husband was the catalyst for it. Writing has always been a passion of mine but when I started my career in Broadcast Journalism, writing stories and poetry just fell by the wayside. And then, of course, came motherhood and writing just wasn’t a priority.
Until Sukh pushed me to share my journey as a mother; the ups and downs of family life, places we visited, food we ate, countries we travelled to and experiences we had. My kids are now teenagers and I’m excited to take this blog in a new direction. What started as a family blog has now turned into a travel blog, as I discover more of the world.
I’ll be sharing all things travel; destinations, hotels, adventure, budgets and guides. Here you can find posts about family travel, solo trips, girl’s holidays and couples vacations.
My Life In Radio
With over twenty years in radio and journalism, I’ve got a ton of experience that I put into my content creation. My skills in writing, editing and presenting help me tell stories that capture the heart of my travel adventures. I love turning my experiences into engaging content that bring my journeys to life.
Sangeet Singer
A Sangeet night is a lively pre-wedding celebration full of music, dance, and fun. It’s where families come together to sing traditional songs and perform dance routines – a joyful, high-energy party that sets the tone for the wedding celebrations to follow.
I’m deeply passionate about my Indian (Desi) culture. I grew up on a soundtrack of Punjabi folk songs, singing along with my mum and sisters, and we’d often lead the entertainment at family weddings. It was our thing – and I loved it. I knew I had the skills and the love for it, so just before lockdown, my cousin and I decided to turn that passion into a business.
Because of this background, I’ve also developed a love for discovering unique wedding venues and destinations during my travels – places full of character, colour and charm that I can share with my audience, when they’re planning a wedding.
A Little More About Me:
- My full name is Ranjit Doal but Rosie has been my nickname since I was a baby
- I’ve been married to Sukh for 22 years. Sukh is a senior technical operator at the BBC (filming and editing for News).
- We have two children; Shalini is 19 and Shivam is 15. Shalini has just completed her Broadcast Diploma (yes Broadcast runs in our family!)
- I qualified as a Broadcast Journalist with a 2:1
- I started creating Punjabi comedy skits on TikTok during lockdown and had no idea they would become viral, reaching millions of views around the world
- I am passionate about my Punjabi culture; the food, language, fashion and music, which I cover on my social platforms
- Wherever I travel, I add my unique Desi flair to my content, bringing a special touch to each adventure and destination
My Audience:
I cater to a unique and vibrant audience. They’re predominantly female from a UK South Asian background. I also have a healthy female following across the US, India and Canada. This demographic is often overlooked by mainstream brands.
They’re mainly young professionals with some disposable income who love to travel every few months (either with their young families, solo or with the girls). I’m all about finding those hidden gems and exciting destinations that aren’t on their radar, offering fresh and inspiring travel ideas.
By showcasing these lesser-known spots, I help connect my audience with experiences that match their adventurous spirit. You can find out how to work with me here.
