About Me

I grew up in Mauritius and moved to Montreal 10 years ago.

I am currently a journalism student at Concordia University and a forex trader.

Traveling is a big part of my life and I visited over 30 countries.

A keen photographer and always packs my posts on social media with original photography and videos from my trips.

A lover of world cultures, languages, souls, nature, oceans, wild spaces and urban places. I want to inspire others to travel to places a little out of their comfort zone, or at least to explore the usual destinations in a different way.

I love adventure, will try anything once, and has a strong passion for the local food and drink, whatever it may be. I am looking forward to complete my studies this summer, travel to the middle east and make documentaries.

My goal is to be a war reporter.
