HI! I’m susan
Bestselling Author, Adventurer and Pilgrim. I am passionate about having adventures, and helping people have their own adventures. After a lifetime in IT, I decided to follow my passion, travel, have adventures and write books about them. For most of my working life I was a technical writer, information architect and content manager and responsible for reams of technical documentation, online help and tutorials. But now I am a full-time author and publisher.
Although no one has yet written the definitive manual on living life fully, I’m doing my best – I have adventures, re-invent my life, and write the “manuals” to help you either escape for a few hours, or plan your own adventure. I love hiking, camping, and kayaking, though those take second place to my passion for books. I read over a hundred books a year in all genres, I wish I could write that fast – but with two bestsellers in the last three years, while I was working full time, I’m on the way there.
I love to hear from readers of my book, and actually have met some of them on my walks! I publish my books on Amazon, and love it when readers jump on board to help me launch a book. You can too – I’d love to meet you.
P.S. For a quick look at my formal photo you can check out my Authorpage on Amazon. But I like this photo, because, it’s real.
So what do you do if you are a woman who just celebrated her 60th birthday and has carried this dream
You go do what Susan Jagannath did, you climb the mountain NOW!
Most Readable…. Informative….. Realistic…… Motivating…..Funny….. and most of all, after reading this book. I sure want to 🙂
Thank you Susan for yet another spectacular adventure….my list of potential trails to conquer is growing, thanks to your brilliantly crafted words.
Planning Your Perfect Kanha Safari: Routes, Seasons, and Insider Tips
When you plan a trip to Kanha National Park, you’re not just visiting another wildlife reserve — you’re entering one of India’s living stories.
It’s a place where meadows shimmer with dew, sal trees hold centuries of silence, and the forest still keeps time by the rhythm of hoofbeats and birdsong.
I’ve walked those roads, sometimes dusty, sometimes golden with light, and every time, Kanha has offered something new.
This is the practical guide I wish I’d had before my first safari — simple, grounded, and shaped by experience.
Kanha National Park: 10 Questions Readers Ask
Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh, India, is one of the best places to see the Royal Bengal Tiger, the rare Barasingha deer, and over 300 bird species in their natural habitat.

Whether you’re planning a first safari or chasing your next big cat sighting (with chai in hand and hope in heart), this post gives you everything you need — no jargon, no fluff, just real-world travel wisdom with a wink.
The Wild Heart of India: Kanha National Park
Kanha National Park
Taking a turn and getting lost – and found
You turn one corner off the beach road and everything changes.
Behind you: honking scooters, sunset-chasing crowds, the whole carnival of tourist Goa packed onto asphalt. The pilgrimage to the perfect Instagram sunset, bodies pressed together in that peculiar beach-town desperation for magic hour. Heat rising from the road. The smell of exhaust mixed with frying fish.One lane over: mossy walls gone quiet, dim lights strung between old stone, rain turning the packed earth to something close to silence.
This is the Goa nobody tells you about. The one that exists in the negative space between Google Maps pins.

How to Nourish Your Writer’s Brain: Trail, Table, and Talk
The writer’s brain is more than a tool—it’s a living, breathing landscape shaped by movement, nourishment, and meaning. From hiking Himalayan trails to sharing stories over chai, every experience you embrace rewires your creativity and resilience. When you feed your body well, connect deeply, and tend to your inner world, you nurture the very source of your imagination. Writing, after all, isn’t born only from words—but from the fullness of a life well-lived.
