Namaste from India!
I travel to Evolve..
In Nature, I confide..
I find my calling in the Himalayas..
In the Oceans, I meditate..

A High-Altitude Trekker & PADI certified SCUBA Diver, I love exploring the heights and depths of the planet with my regular doses of mountains and oceans.

Discovering myself & life through nature, adventures, travels, sports and dance has been an addiction since my existence!

Quite fond of the natural and cultural diversity of India, I’ve traveled extensively in my own country before exploring international destinations.

I had left my 9+ yrs of career as a Software Engineer in a quest to make a living out of my passions. I packed my basics in my car (gave away the rest) and lived in different parts of Himachal Pradesh for 16 months. This invaluable experience broadened my perspective on life.

I'm currently living in Mumbai to work in the digitisation space. I continue living a minimalistic life.
