Hi, I’m Amit Sharma, a Chicago-area travel enthusiast and the voice behind Windings to Unwind.

Unlike many travel websites, everything featured on this blog is based on first-hand experiences. The goal is simple: share authentic travel stories and curated outdoor adventures without the clutter of ad-driven travel portals.

Another novelty to expect here is the Friends Trip No-Regrets tradition where few close friends make an annual road trip, no matter what!

I am a road trip addict, wannabe tennis player and have an ambivert personality – I love to straddle between the gregarious party loving self and the cooped-up-in-a-room audiophile/bookworm/blogger. 

When I am working 

I work for a financial services company and lead a passionate bunch of software engineers who share the same intensity and commitment at work. I heartily love Mondays and strive hard to make a difference, one right step at a time.
