In love with filmmaking and photography. Lately, I have been shooting short clips and clicking portraits of people, and I write travel photo essays for publications as and when I feel like.

I used to plan my trips down to the last detail BUT I have changed the way I travel a place. I do not read a lot before visiting but do it after I come back and just go with the motto of "Getting Lost"! Since, February'19, I have traveled every weekend to explore some part of Italy, and ALWAYS stayed with someone local or a friend. This is a new way of traveling that I absolutely love.♥️ To be with someone local and spend all the money I save on Tiramisu and Gelato for both of us! 😬 Doing this, it gives me a chance to see the place from a very interesting perspective and amazing anecdotes from the other person. The cherry on the cake is I also get to make a new friend and know all about them. I have a lot of INSANE stories from the last 6 weeks in Italy and before, so what do you think?

[Professionally, a computer scientist working on robotics at Loccioni Group, Italy. I would be in Italy for a minimum of 5 months and would be great to meet as many CSers while I am here.]

Five adjectives - Adventurous, Venturesome, Dreamer, Traveller, Ambitious!

My most memorable trips:

1. A 15-day backpacking trip across four European countries with three school friends.
2. Living in the Italian countryside for 5 months for an internship!
2. Scuba Diving in Andamans and Nicobar Islands, India
3. Cruise in Singapore (I had memorized each and every street's name by heart)
4. Trek to Sandakphu, India (12, 000 ft above sea level - and we pitched our own tents with winds blowing at a speed of 60 kmph)
