I come from Indian sub-continent, which I traveled extensively to comprehend it first. Then I went to the U.K. in 2000 for studies and since then I’ve been living in Europe traveling to many places in Africa and Far East. I supported Couchsurfing through its initial stages and created a rustic chai shop in Scotland. Now I am aspiring to make films and write stories (some are published).
I believe that the greatest wisdom can come with observing & experiencing the cultures, environment and people around the world. When we are stuck in our ways, we can find a completely different perspective on life from others. This acquired knowledge comes with experience that it can be shared with other travelers for their benefit.
I have always had great desire to travel to Latin America, after reading incredible literature and hearing fascinating stories, I have always been looking for an opportunity to embrace that land.
The film that I submit is on a Roma community in eastern Hungary that has been marginalized. Through this film, I understood how to respect the culture and tradition of a community while creating a symbiotic relationship that can be communicated to the visitors & travelers.
I am a big wildlife aficionado and would be delighted to promote ethical & adventurous horizons to people through the means of audiovisual.
I hope this trip will provide a seed for new ideas and scope.
