I’m 25, from India, and I recently finished my Master’s in Cologne, Germany. Moving here was my first big step out of my comfort zone, and once I did that, everything kind of followed.

After coming to Germany, I started traveling solo, meeting strangers who slowly became friends, and saying yes to things I never imagined doing back home. I’ve always loved nature—honestly, I’d pick mountains and forests over museums any day.

Over the last couple of years, I’ve tried a lot of new things: paragliding (to deal with my fear of heights), regular hikes, wild camping, scuba diving, and skiing. Skiing especially stole my heart. I did manage to injure myself pretty badly along the way, but somehow it still felt worth it 😄

I’m a bit introverted at first, but once I’m comfortable, I talk a lot and enjoy good conversations, especially about travel, life experiences, and random stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on solo camping trip to Lofoten for 9 days with no camping experience before and almost died on the first night due to bad weather on top of the mountain and had to pack up and leave to a motel at 1 am. Had a trauma for the next two days and stayed in a hotel. Then finally I mustered up the courage and camped again on a beach and I was able to see the northern lights.
