Overview
About Me
Indian origin Canadian. I enjoy making documentaries for a living and also doing any job that allows me to travel. Scuba diving has a spiritual impact to my being. Growing up I wanted to explore the far reaches beyond my own little bubble and that drive fostered my exploration and learning of the world. I’ve only hosted a couple of times only because I’m constantly on the move but if you’re in need I am a friend indeed :)
Looking forward to meeting you!
