Hello Hive! My name is Allen Fernandes and I'm 26 years old but what usually stands out about me is my 6'5 height XD ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmckrDiXT6ttvGP3NByXvmt9judvDBH4pePvLypEGukoSy/1731002244675.jpg) A little bit about me, I was born and brought up in a small town named Udupi in Karnataka (India). To tell you a little bit about Udupi, it's a beautiful coastal region with lots of eye catching beaches and lip smacking sea food. We also have a very unique culture which I would like to share in my upcoming posts. I've spent over 20+ years living in the beautiful laid back town that Udupi is.

I completed my postgraduation with an MBA degree. After graduation I got placed at KPMG and moved to Bangalore and I've been working here as a Tax Associate for about two years now. I had my first corporate experience here and I think it was a very good start as the work culture is very accommodating. ![](https://images.ecency.com/DQmaqeqphZGttMbTMsSiR3NGY7pyZCqReyySXQBzuqnYDB8/1731003086344.jpg) Now, Bangalore is very different from Udupi in a lot of ways. Given that it is a massive city, you get to witness a variety of culture as there's people from different parts of the country that have moved here. The weather's great but the traffic also gets unbearable at times, given the population.

Now, two things I absolutely enjoy doing is to explore new food and travel to new places. So, you will definitely see more of my experiences with food and travel up here. I am excited to start my Hive journey and share my feelings and experiences here. Also, huge thanks to my girlfriend @riyaflona who told me all about the wonderful community here.
