ABOUT ME

I am Manu from Jaipur, born in a small town nearby and bred here. I am a simple person with two eyes, one nose, two arms, two legs and I am incredibly lucky with lots of thing in life so far.

I am currently self employed and running a web development company from past 5 years. I am also working on some new concepts while handling the business, like Fair Trade and Local artisans success.

I like my work very much as it gives me freedom to travel. Sometimes I am busy making money as I need it for my travels.

I like living in different cities and listening to people. One day I will speak ! :) .

Ans yes, I love Colombia!

PHILOSOPHY

It changes with time and experience, but for the moment it is

WORK HARD, PLAY HARD!

I also like long walks and wandering in fields in search of water and food! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Colombia, there is a totally different world so close us and its incredibly beautiful.

Dealing with a drunk guy with pistol on an empty street in bogota, Colombia.

Valley near Monserat with pine trees and see it glowing like gold in afternoon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an all time learner, I try to lean from almost everything including the movement of 'second's hand' on the clock. There is so much around us which want us to know about them.

I can teach cooking some Indian curries and share it as well! Sharing travel experiences is never bad.
