I guess I am a just a normal guy. I am a small town lad, who had traveled to some parts of India for studies and then later on Job. In between I had two month long trips to Europe and that's how I became more interested in traveling abroad and learning about new cultures. In my leisure time I like to watch movies, listen to music and whenever I can get long vacations, travel.

I have always found it interesting to discuss on various topics with people from different regions, background and culture as I learn something new from each discussion. Basically I just like talking :-) with just about anyone.

After a couple of years in Singapore I am came back to India and join my friend running a travel tech startup.
