Hey there! Welcome to my space.
I’m Sudipa, a travel blogger from New Jersey who loves exploring new places on the East Coast and beyond. I share tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way to help families create lasting memories and have better travel experiences. I travel with my husband and our 10-year-old son, so every place I share is absolutely family-friendly. Our adventures include fun day trips, weekend getaways, and out-of-state travel destinations!
Story Behind the Blog
A couple of years ago, after a 12-year roller-coaster journey as a software engineer, I decided to take an indefinite break from my career. After being consumed by a demanding and time-consuming professional life for so long, I began to truly enjoy the newfound freedom to do whatever I wanted with my time. It felt like I had found my wings again. I started making the most of this time by pursuing dreams I had put on hold due to work commitments, and that’s how “A Sip of Life” came to life.
Post-COVID, my small family and I began traveling a lot. Slowly, I started sharing our trips on social media, and one day, one of my posts went viral. That gave me the courage to post more about our travels. In a short period, my content gained momentum, and I began to take travel more seriously, focusing on travel content both on social media and my blog.
Driven by this new passion for exploration, I started curating detailed itineraries and uncovering both popular destinations and hidden gems.
My content now caters to travel enthusiasts seeking authentic experiences, and I’m proud to have fostered a community of engaged followers like you who appreciate genuine recommendations.
Why the Name “A Sip of Life”
When I stepped away from my IT career, my new mantra became to take life one sip at a time—to live each day to the fullest, enjoy the beauty around me, and find joy in the small pleasures of life. This blog started as my happiness journal, a chronicle of my endless musings, and a way to connect with all of you. I couldn’t think of a more fitting name for this space.
While travel is the main focus of this page, I consider myself a jack of all trades and master of none. I’m interested in so many things—travel, food, books, photography, and more. Through this page, I intend to share my life experiences, travel stories, fashion experiments, and all the other exciting stuff I’m passionate about, some through photography and some through words. At the same time, I want to capture my thoughts in writing before they get lost in the hustle and bustle of busy life.
I hope you enjoy this space as much as I do. I’m looking forward to your genuine feedback in the comments.
Happy reading,
Su
