What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to blend my passion for travel and storytelling while working in a creative and supportive environment.

Hi, I'm Divya Prasad, a dedicated travel writer and content creator with a rich background in storytelling and alternative healing. My journey began in the advertising industry, where I honed my skills as a copywriter and social media manager. Over the years, I have transitioned into a full-time travel blogger, passionately exploring the world and sharing my experiences through my blog, Obsessive Compulsive Traveller. My work has allowed me to collaborate with renowned tourism boards and brands, enriching my understanding of diverse cultures and indigenous stories.

As a published author and poet, I focus on weaving narratives that reflect the beauty of life, spirituality, and the transformative power of travel. My blog serves as a soulful collective of tales, folklore, and adventures that inspire and connect with readers on a deeper level. I believe in the power of storytelling to evoke emotions and foster understanding, and I strive to create content that resonates with my audience.
