BEHIND THE JOURNAL
I follow the stories that maps often miss.
I’m Shivam Tomar, the writer and traveller behind The Unwritten Road. I document places through the people who shape them, the landscapes that hold their memory and the stays that carry a genuine sense of place.
This journal is my record of journeys taken slowly, away from checklists and closer to context, culture and conversation.
