Since childhood, I had crazy ideas of travelling to places which were remote and unexplored, as I was curious about them.

After years of doing research on where to go, I finally narrowed down my choices to three destinations: Spiti Valley in India, Pamir Mountain in Tajikistan and Ruga Tadrart or Tadrart Rogue in Algeria.
