Hello India!

Posted on by
So I finally arrive safe and soundly in Delhi and 30 minutes after an awkward Hind-glish conversation my taxi man took me to my hostel. I didn’t quite know what to expect. I’d obviously heard stories and watched films regarding their 'interesting' driving but to see it in person was spectacular! A simple dual carriageway would mean that THREE/FOUR lanes were to be created by users rather than just their suggested two. Throughout the 40 minute journey there were ‘Don’t hoot’ signs. But with Read more [...]

Tuk Tuk

So I went on my first ever tuk tuk/rickshaw which was an amazing experience. To start with it needed to be physically pushed back and front by 3 others to get out of such a small space. Then theres the manic driving and squeezing into small gaps. With no seatbelts or doors you just have to hold on to each other, have a blast and hope for the best.

Stopover in Muscat, Oman.

I probably wouldn’t have even noticed this fact if it wasn’t for all of the pointing, pictures and obvious glares!

Goodbye England!

Posted on by
Seeing as I only gave myself 4 weeks to plan this trip, it's quite fantastic that I was actually able to get a visa and everything sorted in time. For the 4 weeks prior to me getting on the plane I wasn't AT ALL nervous, which appeared to bother both my parents. I certainly felt some butterflies when I arrived at Heathrow Airport though!! But as soon as they take your bag and you cross 'to the other side', any worries simply disappear. It's at this point you realise an adventure is about to take Read more [...]
