Akil Narayana

I’m Akil Narayana, born & raised in Bangalore INDIA but a KIWI convert living in Wellington New Zealand for close to two decades. I started this blog site back in Dec 2018, although I did not contribute much to it after the first couple of posts. In June 2019 I lined up myself with a series of solo trips within NZ and wanted to start blogging about the trips as well as the journey of getting there. Thought I’d use that as a stepping stone to a bigger solo trip later in the year, so I could use the skill to take people on my journey with my words 🙂 So any feedback, comments, critics are always welcome.

Apart from travelling, I absolutely love a variety of things including cooking, snowboarding, photography, socialising, intellectual conversations, a good red or a nice stout or a doppio, organising events, meeting new people etc etc. 4 years ago I split up with my partner of 7 years & that completely changed the way I perceived life; as a result of which I quit my high paying consulting job to travel around the world, well mostly Europe, for a good six months. Honestly that was the best thing I could ever do and am glad I did it.Now I’m living it up every day and looking forward to something exciting again, and not a mundane routine life like most of us end up in, with or without our knowledge.

In Dec 2019, I packed my bags again for a longer travelling stint, but after 4 months across Central and South America I got stranded in London due to the pandemic. Since then I’ve just been around waiting for the world to reopen.

Feel free to reach out to me to discuss about anything, literally anything; I’m an open book. My social media handles are displayed at the footer of this site, if that’s of any help.
