India
I was a long-term expat in India and completely fell in love with this country. I never expected to spend almost 2 years travelling there. It’s what inspired me to start this blog (hence the name). I’ve currently travelled to 22 of 29 states! It hasn’t always been easy. In fact, I found India quite a challenge at first. You’ll either love it or hate it. But I have lots of resources to help you plan the best and safest trip possible. Chalo!
