Welcome As a habitual traveller, Im constantly on the move. Growing up I found certain sense of freedom in travelling. Travelling comes to me naturally. I’m certain my love for photogaphy and travelling came from my father whose bundles of photo collections I went across many times while growing up. Coming in peace with diverse environments and adapting to them is a survival instinct I recieved as an army kid. Travelling through Pakistan all my life I realized that diversity is everywhere. People differ from each other living twenty kilometes apart. They have their different dialects, personalities, customs and sometime even dresses. Which made me more understanding of others norms and values. Growing up in urban Pakistan I started noticing how quickly our environment is evolving following the fast paced customs of global world. Pakistan is rich in cultural diversity and natural beauty that makes it a never ending progressive tale to tell.
