About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling through Brazil, Peru and Colombia till July. Want to meet fun and interesting residents wherever I go!

ABOUT ME

Born and brought up in the south of India, I've lived in different countries (which will explain the perplexing accent), acquiring a thirst for exploring our planet early on...

After spending about 10 years in the field of computers I left it to find something more connected and meaningful. I lived in a monastery, and became a meditation trainer and life coach. In 2014 I decided to sell everything I owned, put a few clothes (and my macbook!) in a backpack and head out to see the world. After 30 countries, I'm still on that journey...

I love meeting people with good energy, feeling good music, meditation, and dancing the night away.

PHILOSOPHY

Our time here on earth is to have as many experiences as possible. Experiences by themselves are never good or bad. We give it that label. They make us richer for having had them. So dive in. Quench your thirst for adventures. And feel the richness of everything and everyone around you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got a chance to stand in the middle of a live Volcano in Guatemala, as lava was erupting from the rocks and landing all around me. It was an experience of complete surrender. To Mother Nature. For in those moments I had the visceral experience of my life being completely at her mercy. And I felt her power, and how gentle she is with us. It was one of the most serene moments of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a moderately good dancer, an expert at charades, good at cooking Kerala Delicacies, and building investment portfolios!
