About me

Apurva Mali

Adventure seeker. Uniquely & Typically Aquarian. Husband and Father of one. I am a professional in the shipping & oil industry and run my own company out of Dubai. Since my mid-30s, I've enjoyed living a routine and structured lifestyle. I cant sing and I cant dance. However, I can express myself by writing on topics close to my heart: food, coffee and life experiences. Writing blogs and opinion pieces has been a long-time hobby. Hoping to become a published author one day, although I can't say I'm actively working towards it.
