Hey! I'm Goutham, a curious soul from Chennai, India, who loves exploring places, gazing at the stars, and connecting with people from different walks of life. After spending almost a decade in IT, I decided to take a detour from the corporate world and now work as a freelancer, living a more flexible and travel-filled life.

I also co-founded Starvoirs, a travel startup that organizes stargazing trips to beautiful, lesser-known locations across India and international destinations.

I'm all about good conversations, spontaneous adventures, and chasing night skies. I often travel solo, not just for the thrill of it, but for the peace and stories it brings. Big fan of sci-fi movies, gaming, and slow moments with music or sunsets.

Whether you're up for a walk around your city, sharing travel tales, or stargazing from a terrace, I’m always happy to meet new people and learn something new.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies are my weekly essential! I love action, sci-fi, comedy, and drama, they're my go-to genres.

I love listening to music of Rahman, Illayaraja and Yuvan. Music has always been a big part of my life, especially being a companion during my solo travels.
