Hi, I’m Meenakshi, a budget traveler, foodie & nature lover. ✨

In 2015, I started my blog Backpacking with My Lens, which translates exactly what I do. Travel is my passion and I love documenting the places I visit. RU-vid is where I share detailed guides, recommendations, and things that I find quirky, weird, or interesting during my travel. I hail from Delhi, India and currently live in Seattle, USA.

I am open to interesting projects and collaborations related to traveling, travel blogging, photography, brand promotions, and review writing. Hit me up with your thoughts and comments.

1. I use AllTrails app to ensure that I am on the right trail and not lost. Many people use WTA app also. 2. Good hiking boots from REI helps a lot. 3. You seem to have missed the upper part of the falls? Or did you see both?

Details about📍Chammorican, Capitol Hill 👇 🥘 If you love exploring new cuisines or are a fan of delicious Caribbean food, head to Chammorican, a vibrant pop-up food stall waiting to tantalize your taste buds. 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳 Chef Jesus and his wife Heather, brings a unique fusion of Chamorro, Puerto Rican, and Taino cuisines. Inspired by their cultural heritage. They use the freshest ingredients to create dishes bursting with flavors. 🤝 Moreover, their passion extends far beyond the kitchen. Driven by a desire to support their son with gastroschisis and other families facing similar challenges. Every bite fuels their mission, and every customer adds a touch of love to their journey. ✨ On my recent visit, I was blown away by everything I tried. • Chicken and Shrimp plate - the shrimps were perfectly cooked and had nice Smokey flavours, the chicken was crispy and complimented well with shrimps and rice. This was my favourite for the night. • Pernil - stole Abhi’s heart (and a few bites from mine!). The pork was cooked perfectly and melted in our mouth. • Empanadas - were crispy perfection, filled with savory goodness. The best we’ve had in Seattle! Honestly, picking a favorite was an impossible feat! Chammorican is more than just a meal; it’s a story of love, family, and resilience. ✨ Do show your support to this amazing small business. I can’t wait for my next visit, and I know you won’t regret yours either. 😋✌️ #seattlefoodrecommendations #seattlefoodie #capitolhillseattle #capitolhillfoodscene #chammorican #caribbeanfood #backpackingwithmylens

We had 3 hours within Yosemite NP that allowed us to do short hikes. And covered all the top spots as well. Hope that helps :)

Vacay brain I guess 🤷‍♀️ If you’re flying in and out of San Jose Del Cabo Airport, here are some important tips to remember that we learned from our mistakes: 🤫 SJD is a “silent airport”, so flight changes will only show up on the display boards or you may be notified about the changes via notification. But if you have checked in using a kiosk, you might not get one (like we did). 🥲 So make sure to head to the check-in counter (not the kiosk) as soon as you enter the airport get your documents checked by the ground staff and get the yellow sticker on your passport. This will ensure that you get notified when there’s any change in your flight status. And keep a check on Google for updated flight info as well as on the display board. ✈️ San Jose Del Cabo airport is small and can get easily chaotic with even a small increase in footfall. So being vigilant is very important, as the gates keep changing rapidly and the announcements are not heard. 🚗 About getting transportation from the airport: Getting Uber from Arrivals is impossible as they are not allowed in the zone. If you are planning to book one, head to the departure zone (upstairs) instead. Alternatively, you can book a private/ group drop-off from the Los Cabos Airport Shuttles website which will cost $30 for two. #sanjosedelcabo #bajacaliforniasur #caboairport #loscabosmexico #backpackingwithmylens
