In a brief chat with Its Goa, June gave us an insight into her life, her career, her hobbies, her interests and much more…
Tell us about yourself…
My name is June. I was born in May (haha!). I hail from the beautiful city of Pune. My father served in the Indian army. As a result, due to him getting posted to different places during the course of his career, I have lived in different parts of India.
I hold an MBA degree in marketing and work in the field of digital marketing. I also work as an Instagram influencer and have been blogging since 2007. Travel, fashion and writing are my passions.
There are two sides to me – when I’m not obsessing about fashion and shopping, I’m a total geek (computer stuff, video games and reading crap). I have also worked in data analytics and enjoy going through large chunks of data! I am also a huge foodie and totally love cooking! I also harbour an immense love for horror films and video games.
I love travelling and am obsessed with beaches! I’m also a self-confessed party girl!
Your loved ones call you:
Juney, Juno, Juna, Gina. It’s a long list!
You live in Goa at:
Divar Island
What was that one moment that changed everything?
I won a blogging contest for Indian fashion bloggers back in 2013 which took me on an all-expenses-paid trip to Dubai. It was an amazing experience and made me realize that my hobby and passion for blogging was taking me places!
Any funny/inspiring childhood story or memory you want to share that shaped your life.
I’ve actually had a very interesting childhood, thanks to my dad’s postings. I’ve stayed in some very beautiful places across the country like Siliguri near
Darjeeling and Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand. These places had a lot of wildlife, forests and mountains. So, I got to witness a lot of nature while growing up.
Coupled with this, my parents are very fond of travelling too. So we used to go on trips quite often. And I guess that’s where my love for nature and travelling comes from.
Who are your role models? The ones you seek inspiration from?
Surprisingly no one! I’ve never been a fan girl or the kind of person to have a role model.
What role did family and friends play? Any stories of support you recall?
My friends and family have always been very supportive and encouraging. They have been with me through my evolution from a blogger who used to only write to a fashion and beauty influencer which got me in front of the camera and my present situation as a travel content creator, where I also shoot and direct my own content.
What advice would you give yourself if you went back in time?
Nothing really. I’ve always been a happy-go-lucky person and have enjoyed my journey.
Anyone from the past or present you’d want to meet? Why?
No one as of now!
What’s the biggest challenge when pursuing this full time?
One of the challenges I face is coming up with creative content ideas and concepts. Another major challenge which I face is the fact that travelling frequently is an exhausting and expensive affair.
What is the legacy you want to leave behind? Any advice for your followers…
Always be kind and help others in any way that you can.
