About Me

Update: I sold my car and moved from Los Angeles to Seattle. I stayed there for six months. I then started a short Amtrak journey. I'll be going to Hawaii and then to Alaska this summer.

Update: after driving through South Carolina this May, I finally finished my 48 mainland US states travel! View the map at: https://damodar.travelmap.net .

I was born in Nepal, and I grew up watching the Himalayas. My dad taught me Hinduism and Yoga at a very early age. In pursuit of a spiritual equilibrium, I've been a lifelong traveller, travelling across US, Nepal and India. I've been in the US for five years, and so far driven across 47 States. Back in June 2019, I drove from New Orleans to Seattle in my Mazda 3, stopping at Oklahoma, Colorado and the Idaho mountains, and I almost got lost on a farm field in Utah while looking for a crystal hot spring. Afterwards, I've made 5 trips of >2000 miles around Michigan, Florida and the New England States, and I now reside in West Hollywood.
