About me: I'm currently a freelancer based out of Pune, India with a background in Economics. I grew up in Pune and went to college in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, where I also worked for 2 years after graduation. Since this was during Covid, I was living in India and working (for the Dutch firm) from home while travelling across India and exploring new places. I'm quite fond of driving and road-trips, so I purchased a car in November 2022 and I have been driving across India ever since. I quit my job a few weeks ago and want to work in the tourism industry full-time, which is how I ended up here. I've always been exposed internationally, whether it was my schooling in IGCSE and IB schools, or classmates and flatmates from all over the world, and I love meeting and connecting with new people!

Accommodation: We will be staying in different types of accommodations depending on which city we're in. This will be a mix of villas, hotels, my own house, and possibly (luxury) camping. Room rates are assuming we all want private rooms. If you're willing to share, prices may be slightly lower. Let me know in advance if you would like shared rooms! All I want from my co-travellers during the trip is to be nice and kind, be open-minded and most importantly be empathetic towards the group! Please let me know in the Q&A if you have any questions.
