I am a software professional in Bengaluru with travel as a passion. Though I used to travel since childhood, it started as an addiction with the trek to Kumara Parvatha in 2003. Initially, I mainly focussed on trekking, but it has come down in the last few years. Family trips have replaced it, which I am equally enjoying.
Most of my trips are either with family or with close friends. I rarely go on solo trips. Most of my solo trips are part of my official travel. Of course, there are a few exceptions but not many.
What kind of a traveller am I? Hard to say, as I visit mountains, temples, beaches, wildlife etc. I enjoy it as long as it is interesting. I do not prefer crowds and have very little patience in waiting.
My interest in photography comes with travel though I am not close to becoming a serious photographer.
I have visited 55 countries and 7 continents.
In this channel, I post travel videos. You can have have a look at my blog - aravindgundumane.com
