  • Description

    Im a Creative Marketing Strategist & Photographer with a Passion for Travelling and exploring authentic places and cultures. I used to work for corporates, I have skills in Film making, Photography, Website Systems design, Advertising and marketing.

    About Me:
    Hello, I am Ansen. I was a software engineer by profession, I've had the oppurtunity to work for Google for over a year.
    I have passion for photography and videography. I can take photos and edit videos of professional quality.
    I enjoy hiking trips, I've done 30+ days long hiking trips all by myself, even to the foot of big mountains like 'Mt. Everest' and 'Annapurna' in Nepal.
    One of my hiking journeys was quoted by National Geographic in this article here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/hiking-suru-valley-ladakh-india
    I showcase my portfolio of images on instagram @iamansen
    I've done the commercial photography, documenting and guest experiences for multiple resorts.
    I maintain a youtube channel "I am Ansen" showcasing my film making work and the landscapes I've encountered.


    What am I up to?
    I moved out of the big city that I was living in, which was becoming more of a concrete jungle. I'm looking forward to more authentic experiences, exploring different cultures and to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.
    I'd like to make travel films/documentaries about the destinations or cultures in encounter. I'd like to share some of the skills I have and also pick up skills like sustainable living, organic farming, yoga, cooking etc from others.
    I want to go through life in a way that holds meaning and allows me to grow personally and culturally.

    Why Workaway?
    Workaway seems like a great platform to broaden my horizons. I am open to a wide range of experiences and look forward to learning from and contributing to the projects and tasks that come my way.
