- 4 years' Experience in Travel
My life in travel began in Singapore, where I was born and spent my early years. A move to the Middle East followed to Dubai and the Sultanate of Oman and during these times, I was lucky with my family to visit and appreciate some great places and cultures as diverse as Africa, Egypt and India.
I had an opportunity to travel for 3 months round Australia exploring the whole of the East Coast, staying with family friends along the way. Well bitten by the travel bug at this point, I returned to India and taking in Sri Lanka to travel on my own in my late teens, travelling India’s entire length from the back waters of Kerela to Ladakh.
