Manpreet’s travel goals are rooted in a desire to explore how craft, tradition, and identity intersect across cultures. With a background in pottery and textiles, she is particularly interested in how everyday creative practices are woven into the rhythms of daily life and how they reflect care, memory, and cultural preservation. She hopes her Bonderman experience will strengthen her ability to communicate and connect with others from different backgrounds and broaden her understanding of what it means to live responsibly in a globally connected world. Her current proposed itinerary includes Vietnam, Thailand, India, South Korea, Japan, Cambodia, Argentina, and Chile.
