About Me

Architect / farmer / traveler. I work (build sturctures) in rural india with local community participation, natural materials (mostly mud) and traditional skills. I grew up in mumbai, but now live a nomadic life, traveling between various villages throughout india.

Please contact me only if you are ready to be hosted in a village. I live in a small and isolated village 50 kms from the northern most tip of the city. I live in a mud house. The house is on the edge of a forest is surrounded by an organic farm. My place is not easily accessible, has no network and if you want to be in Mumbai, it's not ideal place as it is very isolated.

If you love being in nature and a live sustainable life, you will like my place 😀.

If you have read this far in my introduction, add the word "momos" in your text message. That way i know you have read my intro!
