About the Author
How to Be a Tourist and Not an Asshole comes from 2022, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 25 and still producing travel & places work with no clear path to publication. Rooted in the geography of Pune, Maharashtra, and India, the travel writing carries the specificity of places actually known and lived in.
