About the Adda:

Many of us wish to go out and travel the world either solo or with someone, to get to know ourselves better, to get lost in the beauty of this earth, to get our mind blown, to know other cultures, people, music, food and what not because someone rightly said “Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain.” – Jack Kerouac

We bring to you a talk on 7 lessons Aayush has learned after travelling to 67 countries.  Be it sneaking out of the tour group to interact with school-children in Pyongyang or breaking his own stereotypes by drinking alcohol in a remote village 250 kms south of Tehran or getting caught up alone for the night in a million dollar airplane owned by a legendary rock star in Memphis, he had his own share of (mis)adventures. He will share some of those stories, some of his and some of the people he met, and summarise these years of experiences into seven simple lessons that helped him navigate his day to day personal and professional life. It is going to be a very interesting talk . See you all there.
