Meet Banti, a lover of adventure, creativity, and all the little joys in life! When it comes to favorite travel spots, Banti can’t get enough of the vibrant food, charming shops, and beloved people they’ve found in Thailand and San Francisco.

As a child, Banti could often be found with their nose in a book, devouring classics like Anne of Green Gables, The Mysterious Benedict Society, and Percy Jackson. These stories sparked a lifelong love for imagination and exploration, which shines through in everything they do.

Banti finds joy in the simple yet beautiful things: creating art, taking peaceful walks in the woods, swimming, baking delicious treats, savoring good food, and spending time with family and friends. Their definition of success? It’s all about growth—trying new things, embracing challenges, and learning from every step along the way.
