Being good at making connections, Somya started vlogging at a very young age as a travel and lifestyle vlogger, and her vlog gained good popularity in no time on social media platforms. She is an influencer and inspiration for today’s generation.

Somya Shekhawat is a Traveler, Vlogger, and YouTuber, based in Jaipur. She has been working as a Blogger on Instagram for the last six years and has been on YouTube for the last three years.

Recalling her childhood, Somya says that from a young age, she was fond of drawing, painting, etc. Also, in every summer vacation, she used to join summer camps, where she used to be involved in some or the other creative art and craft activities. She adds that one of her handmade cards got such a good response that from 11th grade onwards, she started getting orders for handmade scrapbooks, calendars, and cards at home. From there, her Instagram journey started with posts related to such items.

Somya shares that gradually she started posting photos of her traveling on social media, which were well appreciated by people. Soon, she stepped into fashion, lifestyle, and travel vlogging on Instagram. In no time, her followers went on increasing and she became popular at quite a young age.

Talking about her role models, Somya says she considers her parents and her entire family as her role models for always supporting her and standing by her side. She also draws inspiration from some YouTubers and travel and fashion bloggers like Aakriti Rana and Ranveer Allahabadia.

Regarding her achievements, Somya says that getting calls for collaborations with big brands and making a place in the blogging and vlogging community was no less than an achievement for her. Besides, recently she was awarded the ‘Women Empowerment Award’, which was a big achievement for her.

In her spare time, Somya likes to go for walks, chill with friends, spend time with them, and party. She also likes to meet, socialize and interact with people to build connections.

Advising newcomers, Somya says that you don’t need to buy hi-fi phones or gadgets in your initial days to become a YouTuber or a Vlogger. In the beginning, you should shoot videos from any normal android phone, and see its response. As your followers get increasing, you can think of making investments to advance in your career. She adds that only if you are passionate about it, only then enter into this field. But if you go into this industry just with the thought of earning money, then neither your content will be good nor you’ll get followers.
