From College Curiosity to Global Wanderlust
My travel journey began during my college years in India. What started as local explorations soon blossomed into an insatiable desire to see the world. As life progressed, I found myself with opportunities to visit diverse countries across the globe. Each trip added a new layer to my understanding of the world and its people. Countries Explored: A World Tour. My travels have taken me to a wide array of destinations, each offering unique experiences and perspectives. Here’s a glimpse of the countries I’ve had the privilege to explore:
- Asia: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei (Bandar Seri Begawan)
- Middle East: Dubai, Qatar
- Africa: Mauritius, South Africa
- Europe: Switzerland, Germany, Italy, France, Netherlands, UK

- Many more destinations to be explored and added in the future
Each of these destinations has contributed to my growth as a traveler and as a person. From the bustling streets of Singapore to the serene landscapes of Switzerland, every place has left an indelible mark on my soul.
