From: Rishikesh, India
In 2004, I had met with an accident and suffered complete paralysis from my chest down. Despite this unfortunate setback, I never lost heart, and never gave up; I completed my studies and also pursued higher studies in management. Today, I am self-employed and run a travel agency in Rishikesh by the name of 'Travelmyway'. I have not let my disability get in the way of my passion for adventure. In 2009, I attempted river rafting and kayaking, and in 2010 I undertook a 120km journey in the Himalayas on a quad bike. My enthusiasm and drive for adventure and for outdoor activities is boundless, and I try to use my every accomplishment to spread awareness of 'Accessible Travel' and 'Accessible Adventure', and also for creating an 'Accessible Infrastructure'. Besides my business and love of adventure, I like to spend time with people - adults and children - who are facing, or who have faced, a situation similar to mine, and talk on subjects like life, and being positive in life .
