You’ve heard the rumours, right? Seen the movies with chaotic streets, overflowing trains, and spiritual awakenings. Heard the warnings: it’s too much, too unsafe, too overwhelming.
Well, I heard them too. And I went anyway.
This is what three months travelling solo through India as a woman really looks like. It was messy. It was heart-achingly beautiful. And it changed me in ways I never expected.
In this episode, I speak honestly about the magic I experienced, the discomfort I leaned into, and the lessons I learned the hard way - from Mumbai’s creative chaos to Udaipur’s quiet grace, from trusting strangers to learning how to say no, from falling in love with food again to remembering what awe feels like.
India unraveled me. It made me braver. Softer. Louder in all the right ways.
I always reflect in my journal at the end of a country - what I learned, what I’m taking with me. So consider this your peek inside my journal.
