What places and activities do you specialize in?

"From the panoply of awesome places and fun activities to do in Norway, there are some classics where I specialize like the northern lights chase, cruise trips to fjords, husky sledding, heritage hikes, and food and culture tours."

How did you get involved in travel?

"It was the multi-day long train journeys I took as a youngster that gave me the travel bug. I realized early on that nothing expands your horizons as much as travelling and experiencing first-hand the variety of the world. Whether there is an special occasion to commemorate or a break from the humdrum of mundane existence, my default suggestion to everyone is: step outside and explore this beautiful blue planet."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Back in the college days, during a breezy spring afternoon, I and a friend made an impromptu decision to take a bike ride . The sheer joy of riding across varying landscapes and weather kept us going for 9 hours straight until we reached one of the quaint towns located at the Himalayan foothills. We kept exploring the hills while breaking occasionally to bathe in the chilly mountain rivers or to satiate our appetites with one of the local dishes being served in makeshift eateries. The memory of it all never fails to enliven me."
