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.
In 2014, I founded my social media agency so I could 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, as well as 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 Social Media Experts to follow and the top 25 Digital Marketing Experts in India.
Since 2006, I have been publishing my online magazine for women in India, Naaree.com, ranked as one of the top 100 women’s blogs in the world, where I also promote solo travel for women. In 2020, I sold Naaree.com to SHEROES.com.
On my travel blog, AhoyMatey.blog, I write about travel, food, and lifestyle with a focus on responsible and sustainable tourism.
My audience is largely young Indian men and women, from 18 to 44+ years. I’m also a member of the Professional Travel Blogger’s Association and the International Travel Writers Alliance.
