From the hills of Uttarakhand. Just started traveling solo which I always dreamt of but finally started the journey(7/07/2019).

I am sometimes shy basic mixture of Introvert and extrovert.
When traveling, love to videograph the experiences

Basically, I am from Srinagar Garhwal, India a small town after Rishikesh.

Always happy to meet new people :) From a small family of four, I believe the world is full of love.

About my education. I have done Engineering like most of people But instead of Job I choose to Earn online and make an independent living.

And yes as like all I am not perfect. Sometimes I can talk too much and sometimes i just become silent and a lot more but With all these I am sure that people are least annoyed of me !

And if you have read this till now Thank You :)

Little bit stuck with my life !! Since January 2024 Been back to the town with my parents But missing my Village !

Trying to get over my mental defeat !!

10 October 2024
Let's plan for another Adventure.. I am afraid but yeah I will only live once. So Let's do it.

Wao What an adventure it was... Even though I had to interrupt this journey because of a family function but It was an adventurous 60 days of my Life.. (I will update this slowly ) :D Long travel story!!

My 18 days of Malaysia journey converted to 60 days of Malaysia and Thailand. In this journey I stayed flexible and changed my plans because of amazing people that I met on the way.

After spending a week in KL and Melacca, I reached Camaron Highlands where I was intended to stay for 2 days but"We need Volunteers" board put a stop on me and I ended up volunteering there for a week.

I met amazing people who are still connected with me. Later had to move to George Town, which was damm hot.. !! I alos got lost in Penang National Park with a Japanese and German friend.. What a day that was. A small turned, made us hike the over-grown path for hours.

During my Journey, I met people who recommended me Thailand, So It was my first time crossing 2 countries on foot. While I wanted to reach at my host's home, but sadly because of ill information, I was lost. And somehow I tried hitch hiking but failed.

Then I took help from locals, and I contacted my Thai Friend who told me the path to reach there.
It was an amazing time spent with her in her town.

I also got fined by the Police for the first time in my life in Thailand...

Later I moved from South to the East, spent a few days in Krabi, and then because of the continuous rain, I decided to fly to the North.

I ended up staying for 15 days at the hostel, which I was supposed to stay for a day, because of the kind owner.
They treated me as their family. Took me to dinner during my last days..

From there I met a fantastic Indian biker friend, with whom I had an adventurous 2-day bike ride in Mthe ae Hong Son loop. Saw Muay Thai fights and a lot of temples.

Also went to Chaiang Rai. And then Flew to Bangkok and had an adventure at Ayutthaya.

I had written these in brief Otherwise :D its a lot..

And came back to India on 25 December 2024.

15 Days of Nepal Hiking Adventure "28th Feb 2025 to 15 Th March 2025"

I went to hike Langtang and Tamang Heritage trail with a friend, whom I met in 2020.
I don't have much to write on it... Apart from severe earth quake :D that made me sleep walk, 12 days of hiking with a heavy backpack, some sweet sour moments with my Russian friend and Reuniting with a Nepalese School friend..

It was a short journey :)

However regarding vlogging, Unfortunately I Quit, the way I used to in 2020 and now I feel I am lost... Let's see what Life have for me !!
