Osheen Siva is an illustrator and artist from South India, currently based in Goa.

Himanshi Shah is a digital nomad and travel photographer. From the ghost towns of Fukushima to the dragon temples of Thailand, from the rivers of Vietnam to the cemeteries of Mexico, she has been on a journey that has taken her to the far corners of the world.
