Hi! My name is Aryan. I am a firecracker looking to explore the sky! Currently, I am working as a young doctor in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. I was born and raised in Canada, have lived many places and so I have a forever-long desire to travel. My favorite part of traveling is experiencing the moments of quiet and tranquility, being present with the space around me, and feeling an appreciation for my place on this lovely planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in the Netherlands I bought a box of magic truffles but they were illegal in Belgium so in the train station in Amsterdam I had a choice: eat them all in one go (bad idea) or throw them in the trash. I ate them all, hopped onto the train, and headed to Brussels. Except I was actually on the wrong train, headed to France, and the floor looked like it was made of snakes and I thought I was turning into a dragon. Lesson: always make the wrong decision.
