Wanderer from Himalayas just arrived on Steemit!!!

I'm Yashas, I quit my corporate job to follow my passion of travel round the world on my motorbike. I'm a wanderer, motorbike tourer, travel blogger and an adventurer. Just when I was in process of building a strong base for my travel start up steemit came as a pleasant coincidence.

The concept which rewards the quality content based on merit is exciting. I've arrived with my first introduction post where I present myself to the community of such amazing people.

Born and brought up in a typical Indian middle class family my exposure to the world was very limited. I completed my engineering course from one of the top most institutions of India, and then ended up with a nice paying job in the corporate sector. Just 6 months into the job, something very beautiful happened to me, Travel!!!

I started traveling along the length and breadth of my country, to know more about the rich culture and tradition India has which binds us all together. My understanding of life slowly changed and my priorities changed as well. I was no longer inclined to be a money making machine. My aim was to make a satisfactory life out of every situation that comes along my way.

Himalayas brought peace and stability in life

2013 was a life changing year for me; I started traveling from the southernmost tip of India all the way till the northern most tip. It was a solo ride on my motorbike. 23 day solo ride covering 7500Kms along the length and breadth of my country made me realize my ability as a person to face this life alone under extreme conditions. This was the time I started contemplating the idea of quitting the corporate job and pursue my plans of traveling.
Life on the Himalayas is simple calm and peaceful, it never allows a human being to think beyond his necessities. We tend to forget luxuries and we start embracing happiness in life. I started visiting Himalayas every year

My biking adventures include

2014: Successfully completed a international motorbike ride on the Himalayas across 3 countries. 5500kms of Himalayan Terrain involved crossing of over 8 international borders. Life threatening challenges only made life exciting

2014: Visited a sensitive war torn country Afghanistan only to see a whole new face of Humanity. I was changed as an individual for better. I started breaking stereotypes and I was evolving as a traveler learning to accept culture without judging it.

2015: Completed solo biking across Northern Thailand loops. Mae Hong Son and Golden triangle loops exploring the actual Thai culture and tradition.

2017: Led an expedition of 13 bikers to Himalayas for the second time across Himalayan countries Nepal and Bhutan.

I have evolved from being a solo rider to an organizer through whom people started living their dreams. I have that satisfaction and will continue to be a reason for dreams fulfillment.

I’m a good narrator!!!

You will see me talk on various issues ranging from the majestic Himalayan Mountains to adventure biking across various countries to lessons of humanity to crypto currency to geo political issues to music. If there is something interesting I come across I talk about it.
Trust me I'm a good story teller.
I will try my best to paint the reality without any exaggeration.
