HUMOR / SATIRE / PROSE POEM

Hi everyone!

Hi! I'm Roopa. I handle life's messiness with a smile on my face. I'm also a solo woman travel writer. A lifestyle blogger. I curate budget-friendly gift guides and printables. I'm a funny person who is also a storyteller and entertainer. Finally, I'm a vegetarian foodaholic (and no...that's NOT an oxymoron)! Welcome to The Messy Optimist. Learn more about me here...
