A primary market researcher who asks better questions on mountains than in boardrooms! Love traveling to collect stories from places guidebooks forgot. An amateur photographer, professional foodie and a caffeine addict. Currently building 'Unhinged Escapes' for people who travel to connect to a place with their hearts and not just see a place with eyes, who want depth, connection and good food :p

Activity & Highlights
""I've traveled solo for years, and honestly, it gets lonely. I was skeptical about joining a 'curated group'—would it feel forced? But from the first chai together in Shangarh, it just... clicked. These weren't random people on a tour bus. We actually got each other. By day 3, we were finishing each other's sentences around the bonfire. I came alone, left with 7 new friends I still talk to every week.""
""Best decision I made this year. I'm tired of traveling solo but didn't want to join those massive tour groups where you're just a number. The compatibility matching actually worked—everyone on the trip valued the same things: slow mornings, deep conversations, real connections. No one was rushing to the next photo op. It felt like traveling with friends I just hadn't met yet.""
""Shangarh is what Manali was 20 years ago. No tourist shops, no honking cars, just... peace. Locals waved at us on trails. We camped at Theeni under stars so bright I forgot cities existed. This is the Himachal I've been searching for. Thank you for not taking us to the usual places.""
