November 3, 2015 Currently: Devouring the final pages in The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and enjoying a peaceful relaxing last day in Nepal. Nepal has been so good to me. We flew into Kathmandu before heading down to Chitwan, and we made full use of our short afternoon there! A little group of us headed …
October 29, 2015 Currently: Sitting 100 yards away from a rhino chewing grass under the stars. Well played, Rhino Lodge. Well played. Bye bye Bhutan! Hellooooo India! The change between Bhutan and India is immediate. You cross that border, and you know you're in a different country. Bhutan was its usual beautiful self. India was …
October 27, 2015 Currently: Bemusing the quietness of Kathmandu's streets in the midst of the Nepalese fuel shortage I'm dying to share about my day in Kathmandu today, but that'll have to wait until I finish my Bhutanese fairytale.

October 14, 2015 Currently: Staring at the beautiful Bhutanese entrance stamp in my passport! After an overnight train ride to Siliguri, we quickly pack into three vans to take on more Indian highways with the usual inane amount of honking and daring passes. We careen up streets that could only be considered one-lane roads …
October 14, 2015 Currently: Cozying up in bed with a gorgeous view of the Himalayans and a cup of Darjeeling tea Kolkata is indescribable, yet I'll try my best to capture a few special moments. I came in with so many expectations from my friends' and family's varied experiences in the city. And if I'm …
October 10, 2015 (…at least it is somewhere in the world) Currently: Joking & laughing with a new friend in the Mumbai airport Welcome to my ramblings, musings, and recollections on my travels across India, Nepal, and Bhutan.

“Four months will fly by. Stay out late, wake up early, walk everywhere (you learn cities better that way) keep close to friends you’re traveling with, and your passport closer.
