Ahoy Matey! I’m Priya Florence Shah. I’ve been a journalist and writer since 1996, an online publisher since 2001, and a blogger since 2003.
Around 2001, I published my first website, Making India Green, which was featured in Digit Magazine. Since then, I’ve worked on creating award-winning websites, newsletters, blogs, email courses, and ebooks.
I’ve learned how to use the power of blogs and social media to help my clients engage better with their customers online.
Along the way, I acquired Diplomas in Journalism, Advertising, and Public Relations, a Certificate in Digital Marketing from Columbia Business School, Social Media Certification (CSMMP™) from Digital Vidya, and Certificates in Travel Writing and Travel Journaling.
Over the years, my content-based approach to marketing has created millions of page views and thousands of leads for my clients and my own businesses. I’ve also had the good fortune to be listed among the top 25 Digital Marketing Experts in India.
Since 2006, I published an online magazine for women in India, Naaree.com, ranked as one of the top 100 women’s blogs, where I also wrote about solo travel for women. In 2020, I sold Naaree.com to SHEROES.com.
On this blog, AhoyMatey.blog, I write about responsible and sustainable travel, food, and lifestyle.
