Hi, I’m Nisreen Akolawala
Multicultural Communications Consultant | Cultural Storyteller | Experiential Travel Specialist
I help organisations, communities and curious travellers connect across cultures through communication, storytelling and meaningful experiences.
Drawing on a career spanning multicultural communications, community engagement, health campaigns, content strategy and cultural tourism, I bring together professional expertise and lived experience to help people communicate, connect and engage more meaningfully.
A Life Lived Across Cultures
Born in Kenya. Educated in India. Based in Australia.
Growing up and living across multiple cultures has shaped how I see the world and how I approach my work.
Over the years, I’ve worked across government, health, not-for-profit, tourism and community sectors, helping organisations communicate with clarity, empathy and cultural awareness.
Today, I apply that perspective and these rich experiences to everything from multicultural communication and community engagement to cultural tourism and storytelling.

Experience the Soul of India
Soul Indian Journeys was created for travellers seeking a deeper connection with India.
Through thoughtfully designed cultural journeys, I help travellers explore India’s living traditions, artisan communities, textiles, food, architecture and heritage beyond the usual tourist trail.
Every journey is built on genuine relationships, local knowledge and a belief that travel can be a powerful tool for connection and understanding.
