CURRENT MISSION

Veni, Vidi, Vici

ABOUT ME

I'm passionate about travel, cinema, history, politics, and Indian philosophy. I absorb a great deal of knowledge from my interactions with people - which is why meeting local people in the places I visit helps me see a new city from the inside out, rather than merely as a tourist.

PHILOSOPHY

To live with dignity and integrity, to pursue truth and honesty, and to treat others with respect.
