I am passionate about learning about different cultures and languages.
Over time, and due to some setbacks in the early part of my career, I lost this passion of mine somewhere while playing catchup with the rest. Things are now becoming more stable on the career side. And I want to channel that inner curious person in me again - who wants to see the world, explore places, learn about different cultures, societies, languages etc. - and share that with people.
I grew up in an environment where travel is regarded as an extreme luxury: my parents have never been abroad. I, on the other hand, truly feel happy when I am in a very different environment - observing, learning, immersing myself in a different place and culture.
Apart from English and Hindi, I self-learned reading/writing Urdu, I can speak fluent Russian, and German/Polish/Ukrainian on a basic level.
In the last 2 years, I did the Trans-Siberian journey across Russia and recently visited South-East Asia. I am in India currently and plan to move to Germany in Q1 2023 and start making YouTube videos. Being based out of Europe should make my traveling abroad easier.
While there're gazillions of YouTube channels in travel/living abroad segment already, I don't want to chase after the fame of a "YouTuber" Nonetheless, I find that videos/photos accompanies by commentary are better ways to share your journey than a blog only.
What is stopping me is that I get into analysis-paralysis a lot and feel shy about sharing my vlogs - I want it look perfect and capture everything but end up sharing barely anything.
I am gradually working on it by being more intentional - making Instagram stories and sharing videos with commentary on my family groups on WhatsApp. I very much hope that I'm able to Germany by Spring and look forward to tips/suggestions on YouTube vlogging, storywriting, travel and just support in general.
