About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I admit - I am addicted to traveling... Someone please help me!

ABOUT ME

In my opinion, I am a fun, easy going, open minded guy who loves to meet new people and definitely loves traveling. But then again, my friends might have a different opinion of me! :-P

PHILOSOPHY

Unless you are the lead sled dog, the scenery never changes... Take a chance, live your life the way you want to and don't take it too seriously - you only have one attempt at it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love playing obscure new games (that mainly involve drinking): Kickball, Beer Die, Stump, Flip-cup, Beer pong/Beirut etc. - look 'em up and try 'em, they are tons of fun!

I have lived half my life in India and half in US.

I have taken almost a month long trip in each of the last 3 years (2006, 2007, 2008). 2006: Holland/Germany/Belgium/Italy for 6 weeks. 2007: Spent 3.5 weeks in 2007 exploring Iceland. 2008: India for ~35 days. Hoping to keep the streak alive!

I have been to 4 continents multiple times. Need to visit South America, Australia, Antarctica to complete the circle.

Belgium, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Iceland, India, Italy, Mauritius, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Vatican City State
