Welcome!

Hi! I am Brintha. I am celebrating public spaces, specifically park benches. I write about urban design, health and wellness, and life in this third space.

I was born in India, grew up in the Southern United States, and have lived and worked in Hong Kong and in London. I am currently based in the beautiful city of Hamburg, Germany. I travel for both work and leisure so I will include stories and observations from all over the world.

Also, I built and manage mapping project, parkbenchnearme.com, that helps you find, interact with and share information on benches and what is nearby. Check it out!
