I was born in India but spent my adolescent years growing up in Tanzania and Zambia and speaking Swahili, along with multiple other Indian languages. I am an avid high altitude mountaineer, and have climbed several big mountains in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. We live in New York city (near Madison Square park). We love to travel around the globe. While we enjoy city life, we also love the outdoors and nature, and have completed several scenic hikes and treks around the world. My Twitter handle is @aghose. A more professional bio follows below.
