I started travelling in the year 2011 along with my spiritual friend Prem to the incredible land of India and ever since that unforgettable experience, I never thought in my wildest dream that travelling would remain part of my life forever.

At first, I totally felt out of place in India and the whole idea of travelling. I was in culture shock and the trouble to move around with luggages worsen my spirit in travelling but some how towards the end of that caotic trip without my own knowing I begun to fall in love with that mystical land and travelling became my heart’s call.

Upon graduating in the year 2013, I started to realize that modern education doesn’t really educates me and I’ve decided to explore the world on my own.

The great Saint Augustine Paul once said, “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page.” So to find myself and my purpose in travelling I decided to explore Nepal and Tibet for one month. In that eye opening trip I had the rare opportunity to experience unique people, different remote places, culture and food which totally changed my view on life.

I returned to Malaysia in a completely realised frame of mind and started to work in a private firm but later to come into terms that it is not my cup of tea. Without a second thought I quitted my job in the year 2015 and decided to travel around the world for the next subsequent two years.

To be honest, it’s really tough to fund my travelling expenses without a proper job, so I started to work as a freelance tourist guide to support myself apart from being part time speaker and travel journalist.

Till date I have visited 21 destinations and helped young souls to discover the joy of travelling in their life.

My Religion: Love
My God: Nature
My Language: Silence & Smile

Current mission: Travel and gain some knowledge,good friends,sweet memories, write travel articles, uploading new travel videos on my YouTube channel, planning to publish my travel novel. (Still on the process of writing) Started my travel blog last year.

QUESTION I HATE THE MOST;
Are you Malaysian or Indian? Why do you wanna judge a person by his nationality? Respect people for their personality, not for nationality.

I Love My Country -

2..Everything won’t change in one day but everything will change one day.

3.Death is Permanent, Fear is Choice.

4.The tourist has tour guide, travellers has map.

5.Nature is the only thing that can reveal Human’s true nature. 

6.A Good Friend can only teach you Good things but A Bad Friend can teach you million things.

7.A person who has gone through hell his whole life does not expect Heaven after his death. 

8.A place can be heaven when nobody knows you, but the same place can turn into hell once everyone knows you.

9.Sex is the most beautiful thing in Human Life, if you deny this you’re disrespect your own birth and parents.
