I breathe for traveling, spontaneity, writing, environmentalism, intense discussions, art, photography and meeting new people! I have a rather quirky interest of indulging in Wikipedia articles, and just learning as much as I can. The ocean is my second home, and I love surfing, swimming and just catching great sunsets. I’m a nature/outdoors kind of person who also loves vegetarian food. However, I’m also weak for all existential films and great music.

In general I’m a very happy, pragmatic and peaceful person who always treats people, the environment and their homes with uttermost respect and gratitude.
Finding countries’ hidden gems and bonding with others makes me feel blissful.
