Born in Germany. Graduated from N.A.I.T school of Technology. I was introduced to reading books at a young age. Especially the adventure stories in print during my teenage years, such as "The Sun Also Rises" by Earnest Hemingway. This influenced and started my love of adventure travel in many countries. My Favorite memory was my 1200-mile road trip on a motorcycle packed with nothing more than a sleeping bag and a road map heading for the west coast of Canada at age 18. Somewhere along the way, I was bitten by the travel bug.
