Who Am I?
I love music, I love philosophy and I love to travel... so what?
Hi, my name's Rishan Raja and I'm a 17-year-old with an insatiable passion for travel. Beyond my love for exploration, I have a deep appreciation for music, philosophy, and photography, which seamlessly intertwine with my journeys. Whether it be through drumming in the streets of Hanoi, Vietnam; contemplating life's mysteries whilst gazing at the sunset in the Amazon Rainforest or capturing the essence of Seoul, South Korea through my camera lens, these passions enhance my travel experiences and allow me to connect with different people.
Different areas of my life have brought about so many opportunities for me to travel, taking me to different mountain ranges, cities and countries where I thrive on meeting new people, and immersing myself in diverse cultures. This is when I feel... 'in my zone'.

Travel Photography
Welcome to my world of travel photography, where each image is a frozen memory that brings back a flood of experiences and emotions. As a passionate traveler and photographer, I've had the privilege of capturing just some of the diverse beauty and rich moments of our world. I strive to capture beauty not just in sunsets and mountains but also in the everyday, finding the extraordinary in the ordinary moments of life.
Travel Videos
Welcome to my world of travel videography, where each frame is a window to the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and unforgettable moments that I've been fortunate to experience on my journeys around the world. From Vietnam to South America to India, South Korea, Turkey, Dubai, France, Belgium, North America, Spain, Qatar, the list goes on. I'm so grateful that in just 16 years I've had the opportunity to see so much of the world but I can't help thinking that there's still so much more to see!
