About Me

Hello folks and welcome to FernwehSpeaks!

​

My name is Nandan Dongre and this website is my humble attempt at bringing to you my experiences and learnings through my travels.
This blog comes with a hope that it helps you, the reader, get some ideas for your next travel or to just read my thoughts and corroborate with them; because travel touches each one of us in different ways.

I am a second generation businessman, born and brought up in Pune, India. 
Right since I was a kid, travelling and exploring a new place or reminiscing at some known places was part and parcel of me growing up.
I credit the eventually evolved passion for travelling to my dad; because it was through his zeal for trying out new things and seeing new places did I pick up this hobby-turned lifestyle.

Being from a family that is deep rooted in education, sports and social causes; the ability to be social, or a peoples-person, is something that comes naturally to me. 

Over the years, while settling down in both personal and professional lives; travelling became an essential part of the way I want to live life.

Meeting new people, travelling to and exploring new places, newer experiences and even newer surprises; all this and more is what drives me! 
We have but one life and the whole world to explore!

These travels have given me; and keep giving me some irreplaceable memories, experiences that are hard to put in words, inspire me to keep exploring more while teaching me a lot more about life than I could through any other means.

I hope you enjoy reading my experiences and they inspire you in more ways than one, because we are all always learning and growing through what we learn!!

Cheers!

Dan.
