Purvi Trivedi and Saurabh Calla

Purvi Trivedi and Saurabh Calla are high school sweethearts who have been married for 6 years. Both are engineers by trade and love learning new things and exploring the world. Their pre-baby adventures included running a marathon, diving the great barrier reef, and hiking the Tongariro crossing in NZ. None of those could have prepared them for their biggest adventure, the arrival of their first baby in 2012. They live in Massachusetts and enjoy going out for long runs with their son and cooking soulful meals. These days Purvi and Saurabh are actively working on their new, and more tame, post-baby adventures while juggling being parents and working full time.
