Hi, I'm Sai
Lead engineer by day, traveler whenever I can escape. Curious about nature, people, mountains, and the lessons hidden in different cultures.
Not a photographer or content creator—just someone who'd rather be on a trail than behind a screen. The photos are souvenirs, the experiences are the point.
Always looking for the next place to explore.
My Journey
2016 - 2020
Maybe 10 trips, all within India. No money, no plans—just showed up and figured it out. Slept on park benches, train stations, wherever. Not much, but enough to know I wanted more.
2021 - Now
More freedom, more travel. Started exploring further—new countries, longer hikes, better gear. Finally able to say yes to trips without counting every penny.
What's Next
Keep moving. More mountains, more trails, more places I've never been. The list only gets longer.
By Day, I Write Code
10+ years as a software engineer. Won awards, built APIs handling millions of requests, competed in hackathons. The travel fund has to come from somewhere.
