Nothing ever goes the way it’s planned when traveling. You just have to go with it, let go of your expectations, and then just accept all of the what I like to call, ‘Huh? Whaa? I just..wait..? What the..?’ thoughts. And it usually turns out to be a pretty good time, just like the […]

Well here I am in Pelling, a small town in western Sikkim with only one internet place that only works sometimes. Man, that’s when you really know that you’re out there-there’s only dial-up internet.

Hay hay hayyyy-
Bodhgaya’s been fantabulicious but it’s time to move.
I’m heading to Darjeeling where I’ll be best set to go where ever y’all decide. Well, Darjeeling is the final destination I should say.
Tomorrow I start the trip at 7am with a 4 hour bus ride to Patna, and then I need to kill some serious […]

I’ve finally made it to Bodhgaya aka Buddha central. The train ride was hellish; full of staring men and smells that I never want to smell again. Pretty much second class train ride as usual. This is the place where the Buddha reached enlightenment under a Bodhi tree- right here-

I can’t believe I’m […]
