CURRENT MISSION: Where next!

ABOUT ME

A school friend once dragged me out of my house to go to Rajgad (google it if you don't know) for a 3 days trek and that was when I realized what I was missing out on. This was back in 1996. I then spent a lot of time trekking in the Sahyadris. Over time, I developed interest in a lot of other things like nature trailing, rock climbing, bird watching, photography. I used to travel once or twice in a year with friends, which was more of long drives. However, I totally enjoy solo travel and meet new people during my travels. I always thought I was born to be a vagabond, but nobody pays a vagabond to do what s/he does best, so I ended up in an office working on a laptop for most of the time. I do travel once in a while, between jobs, taking time off from work, etc., but travel is on my mind all the time :)

PHILOSOPHY

Push your limits and you will realize that there are no limits.
