Kennedy: I was a Commerce Lecturer in Christ College, St. Joseph’s Commerce College and Principle of St Anne’s College in Bangalore. I love reading, some of my favorite authors are Fyodor Dostoevsky, Nikos Kazantzakis, Albert Camus, Hermann Hesse, Kahlil Gibran… I also like to travel and camp. I did extensive camping tours visiting places like Ayers Rock, Coober Pedy, Margret Caves, Kings Canyon, etc. My travels around the world showed how families come together and enjoy holidays at reasonable cost. I want my guests to have enjoyable family experience. I have a manager who is from Ooty and will help in organizing local trekking trails, sight-seeing etc.
