CURRENT MISSION

To travel all over the world and meet as many cool people as i can :).

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back, fun, friendly, intelligent and adventurous guy. I'm Indian American - originally Indian but a US citizen since I lived for 15 years in the US (mostly in Seattle working for Microsoft). Now i'm back living in India in Mangalore but travel a lot in the country and outside it too.

I've been to 70 countries and about 450 cities across 5 continents (North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia/Oceania). A lot of my traveling has been since 2012 when i moved back from the US to India. My next major trip is to Africa/Middle East for about 3+ months in 2020 and a smaller 1+ month trip to North America/Latin America.

If anyone is visiting India, especially Mangalore and around and has questions or wants someone to show them around, let me know.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the journey of life to the fullest. As long as you take care not to harm someone or something along the way. They have the right to their own journey.
