The story

hi, i'm rahul. growing up i was quiet. shy. introverted. never the kid who'd suggest an adventure. thanks to my parents i started travelling a little.

new places. new people. conversations with strangers that somehow felt like old friends. i fell in love with it.

i came to sydney as an international student, and i've organised a lot of trips now. every single one has given me something i didn't expect.

if you want to know more about me, i'm at rahulkd.com.
