Ajay Kumar

Welcome to my blog. I am from Dehradun, India & living in Bangkok, Thailand since 2003.

Profession

I started my first IT job in 1995 as a Data Entry Operator. Since then I have worked in several positions such as Programmer, Graphic Designer, IT Manager & Software Consultant. I started a business in 2006 under MVM Infotech Co. Ltd. in Bangkok, Thailand. A one-stop “e-Business Solutions” company offers Web Design, App Development, Digital Marketing, and Maintenance services to build your online business. So far, we delivered 200+ projects in the local and global markets. For any IT services, please visit # www.mvminfotech.com

Passion

I always wanted to build something in the online travel industry with my IT expertise to improve my domain knowledge. I started many online travel projects between 2003 – 2012, such as behindCity, MVM Travel, We Love City, and some I have forgotten the names of. But all projects were a failure. Then I started an “Exploring Tourism“. Now Exploring Tourism offers custom tour packages & travel services in 130+ countries. Plan your travel with us by visiting # www.exploringtourism.com

Hobby

My childhood dream was to travel around the world and Bangkok was my first overseas trip in 2003. Since then, Thailand has been my second home. So far, I have traveled to 18 Country & 110+ Cities. Keep Walking, Keep Exploring, and keep Sharing my travel memories & life experiences on this blog # www.walkwithajay.com
