What you're about to read is play-by-play real-life adventure. I traveled to India in 2012. It was my first time out of the United States, and the first time I had left my wife at daughter for six weeks.
I was traveling solo; no guides, no group, no contacts. I had no reservations except the first night (which fell through of course), and no clue what the hell I was signing up for.
It was a tremendous experience of self-reliance, flexibility, and listening to intuition.
This blog was written as the adventures were playing out. To preserve the essence, the only editing that has been done is light. I realize that some videos may no longer work, and I apologize for not fixing it. I may come back and make it better. But until then, enjoy as is.
If you're in to re-experience the whole shebang, including preparations, start here: T Minus 40 Days, or to just begin the journey on the post where I arrive in India, click here: Arriving in Country.
If you're just interested in some highlights, take your pick from the list below:
the stark realization of being in country alone.
a jungle trek on an elephant.
getting sick on an indian train.
desert standstorm / losing the camel.
a massage to remember.
the rough re-entry to the confines of society.
