Hello!
My friends know me as Stephen & I'm a documentary film maker photographer by profession and an amateur Astronomer-astrophotographer and Astronomy outreach initiator by hobby.
I've completed my Masters Degree in Mass Communication and Journalism from a central University in India and I had English as my Major subject in Post Graduate course.
I've decided to take a break and start travelling, and I started with Nepal.
Was there for about 4 months,
Then came back to India for a month and then set backpacking For another 5 months to Thailand, Malaysia (including Borneo), Cambodia and Vietnam and came back in October end in 2019.
I’m easy going, flexible, down to earth, relaxed, dedicated and on a budget backpacker. Have quite a few experiences of backpacking and volunteering as well as traveling together (you may check my feedbacks from hosts).

Looking to get connected with like minded hosts/workawayers.
I'm 30, I love photography and filming, love Nature and Night Sky. I love swimming and snorkeling, and have recently been fascinated by diving after my first diving experience!

I am crazy about stars, love to spend hours over nights with my telescopes and cameras.

I was into RC modelling and RC Planes once.

I love aerial photography and filming too.

I love trekking and hiking too, (recent ones being Mardi Himal Base camp, Machapuchure Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, etc).
Feel free to ping me in case you have similar tastes.

Thanks.
