Overview
About Me
Passionate-traveler. Wanderer.
In New Zealand now. Been here since March 2019, and absolutely loving it. Amazing people, amazing places and amazing culture.
“Work, Travel, Save, Repeat”
CURRENT MISSION
Is to leave no reason in this life to regret.
I love my country India ( actually the whole world); people who always complain about the problems here make me annoyed.
Two things can anytime bring smile on my face: Motorbike and Train.
My passions: Trekking, mountaineering, traveling, social services, knowing different cultures and people.
I love talking to common people and strangers. Their stories are amazingly inspiring by the fact that they are so much full of life despite of all their problems, and then to see that smile on their face is an awesome feeling.
I am a good listener but sometimes I need my time to be alone and quiet.
Active, enthusiastic always up for a ride or trekking or any adventure activity. I like to be accompanied with sporty people.
I am not the party type, I would rather prefer to spend a night camping out in mountains/forest than to go to discs/clubs.
My biggest dream is to live in mountains, run my own construction company and enjoy sunrise and sunset away from mechanical life.
I dream every night and even if I sleep in day time, I dream.
Philosophy
There are many obstacles along the way to our destinations. I've learned from my own experiences and from my close friends that those obstacles are meant to test our tenacity, patience. I also realized that there're multiple alleys to our destinations, and that being fixated on a "short cut" or a particular path can blind us to other possibilities.
I don't want to regret over anything on last day of my life. So i want to live all my dreams...at least I would try my best to do that.
There is a peculiar pleasure in riding out into unknown. A pleasure which no second journey on the same trail ever affords.
This world is not heaven. There are imperfections and you have to accept all. It means take full responsibility of your dreams, your fears, your hopes and your frustrations as you alone are responsible for the outcomes
