Footsteps with Vivek

Mountain landscape with reflective lake and clouds
It's not what you see outsidebut how you experiencethe journey within.

I spent eight years building a career in software, only to walk away the moment I had finally found my stride. I traded the desk for the trail because I wanted to see who I was without the safety net of a paycheck. From more than 8,000km on a bicycle so far, now to the high altitudes of Nepal, my journey hasn't been about seeing the world. It's been about unlearning it.

I'm now based in the Himalayas, earning my time here one step at a time.
