About Me

Made my account on 8th November 2021. I am basically from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and currently in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh since 2019. Have lived in New Delhi for 7-8 years for my Higher Studies.
Willing to explore new places and meet people. I am usually quite open-minded and ready to have new experiences. I have been on a week-long trek thrice in my life and continue to look for more ahead. Other than that I have traveled to Shimla, Spiti Valley, Rampur, Mussoorie, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Rann of Kutch, Bhuj, Diu, Puri, Mohali, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Puri, Kolkata, etc in the past 7-8 years.

Past 2 years travel updates:
During new year 2023, I went to two wonderful cities Hanoi and Quy-Nhon in Vietnam for a 10-day trip. The country is beautiful and full of helpful people.
Then I went for a week long trip during the Holi festival season of 2023 to North Eastern India specifically covering the Shillong, Cherrapunji & Dawki region.
In 2024, I went to Prayagraj for a 10 day trip during Holi season. The place where I stayed was quite close to sangam and hence it was really peaceful there. The cooks at the guest house where I stayed served us really delicious north Indian food. One must try local street food in Prayagraj.
During May 2024, I went to Bangkok for a week long trip. The city was amazing and the people there are really hospitable and helpful. I recommend people to stay in a hostel instead of a hotel for the best experience, as you will get a chance to meet amazing fellow travellers like you.
I am visiting Europe (mostly Italy) during the second half of June for 12 days. Still not sure about my itinerary. Will keep it spontaneous i guess.

P.S.- I love to meet people online or on my trips and am always eager to listen to their experiences, their life goals, philosophical viewpoints. Local cuisines and dance forms always interest me.
Will continue to add more here. You may see my travel photos in my profile. Thank You for visiting :)
