Shivani Vora

I’m a lifestyle writer and content creator who considers myself lucky to live in my favorite place in the world: New York City. While Manhattan’s Upper East Side is home, I’m often off exploring somewhere new. My exploits include hiking in Bhutan, camping with the Maasai in Tanzania, gorilla trekking in Rwanda, traversing the streets of Belfast, exploring Mexico’s Costalegre coast, and trekking in northern Norway during the summer, when daylight stretches 24 hours a day. Then there are my yearly trips to my birthplace of India, where the adventures are too numerous to count.

I’ve always had an instinct for exploration, but my passion for discovering new destinations and revisiting familiar ones deepened during my time as a travel writer at Forbes.com.

Today, I regularly contribute to publications including The New York Times, Mansion Global, Travel + Leisure, Business Traveller, The New York Post, and Hotels Above Par, where I serve as Spa and Wellness, Boutique Cruise, and Restaurants Editor.
