ABOUT

Hi! My name is Rajat Verma.

Thank you for spending some of your time on Waves and Peaks. I truly hope that you are enjoying the visuals and my take on the attractions, delicacies, and some authentic activities at various destinations around the globe.

Presently, I have a 9-to-5 job in Calgary, Canada, that keeps me rooted in the country for the times I am not out and about etching new set of experiences. I often muse about the impact of travelling, and I am pleasantly surprised by how it's shaping my life decisions and subsequent choices.

My persistent pursuit to gain more travel experiences has prompted me to adopt a minimalist lifestyle. One of the most profound outcomes is the need to optimize on what things I need and what would be good to have, not only while traveling but also during the time I spend at my home. It's kept me largely away from the grip of consumerism and has made me very prudent in decluttering and be decisive about what I own.

 I have proudly claimed my rights to the title of being a "reasonable vegetarian" since 2020. What I mean by that is I don't really bite into meat or fish, but it's often not that easy to avoid the occasional dish with a meat base while I'm traversing through some unfamiliar streets of a country that I'm visiting. I keep my mind and tummy open to new possibilities, haha. 

I am just about starting to understand the value of knowing more about the people with whom I share this world. I'm sure it's a long way before I can truly grasp the intricacies of our complex yet beautiful blue planet.
