Now that he accomplished his lifetime dream, he would like to focus on knowledge sharing. He wants to visit educational institutions and share his vast knowledge. He will also focus on writing the book.
To quote Ravi:’I am even willing to be the face of any Tourism Department of a state or destination. I would like to help organizations in promoting tourism. When I travel abroad, I see a lot of Rajasthan, Kerala and Orissa Tourism promotions. But I hardly come across the tourism promotion of any of the Telugu states’, Ravi says.
Ravi who is now 40-plus years started his travels when he was a 9 years old boy. The first country he visited was Bhutan and the next one was the USA, where he resides now along with his working wife Swathi and teenage daughter Anoushka.
