“Jobs fill your pockets, adventures fill your soul”

Hello there!

Travel without an itinerary has always been my motto. However, this doesn’t really go well when you’ve always been travelling with friends and family. So this year I took my first solo trip to Bali! That was the best thing I’ve done for my soul as it was so liberating! I didn’t have an itinerary, any plans. I either spontaneously made my decisions or talked to locals every morning and made plans. This brought me to places that are not popular with tourists, yet special.

I am Naveen, 26 year old Singaporean. I produce and direct documentaries here. My interests are in climate change, spirituality, volunteerism, meditation and of course travelling since all of them can come together when you travel. My taste buds love Thai food so if you have any good recommendations or can make an amazing Tom Yum Soup, I’d love to try it!

“Life with humour can even cure your tumour” - these are words famously shared to me by a terminally ill patient I filmed. She smiled till her last breath even when it was a struggle with brain tumour. Her laughter is pinned in my heart as a reminder to live my life to the fullest while keeping everyone around me happy!

Hit me up and we can share a few laughs, experiences and stories together!
