If you see India from my point of view, you’ll fall in love with this country and likely make trips here over and over to see more! I also know the basic tips to traveling in India from A to Z in the back of my head. I know the places I’m talking about in the book inside and out. I have revisited the popular tourist’s spots in India first as a backpacker then as a blogger, investigator, photographer, and boutique-style traveler (trying all the food, shopping, hotels, and meeting with travel agents to learn everything I can). It lists the same 5 restaurants in each town for the last 10 years. If you come to India and follow a Lonely Planet, you will be missing SO much – that is just the basic backpacker hotspots and 5-star hotels. I wrote this book because I know that it’s impossible to go through the 1000 blog posts I have on my site and you end up missing important information. I wanted to make a guide that wasn’t only practical but was trendy, up to date, and basically tells you what the “cool kids” know about India. India has the best street food, coolest boutique hotels, and amazing nightlife – there’s so much here for the traveler that isn’t touched on in guidebooks. Most big travel sites are just recycling the same outdated information from each other. India is so much more modern than people give it credit for. Long Answer:Ĭalling India home for half a decade and seeing firsthand how life and tourism here has changed since my first arrival, I can tell you most of the information about India that’s out there right now is no longer relevant. A guide that cuts out the riff-raff and just gets to the point, with every paragraph being an important gem of information.
LONELY PLANET INDIA EBOOK HOW TO
I want to tell YOU how to travel India, just like I would tell my best friends. I dream of one day having kids of my own and taking them all around India so they can have their own Jungle Book adventures!īuy the book here Why did I write this guide? Short Answer: I’ve got many Indian friends here as well as expat friends who I know I’ll stay in touch with forever. Six years in, and I feel like India is a part of me and as much of a home as the USA.
I prefer boutique hotels, cute havelis, and always splurge on experiences and adventures. Now, I earn more money blogging than I did as a nurse – so I don’t travel like a backpacker anymore (plus, I’m 28 years old, not 22). I started my blog four years ago which has 1,000’s of posts on travel in India. I live in Goa with Ben and our two dogs and cat, but I travel all around India from spending a month in rural Karnataka to exploring Arunachal Pradesh for two weeks. I was back here within 3 months and I’ve been here ever since. There, I met a drunk Brit, Ben, who has now been my boyfriend for nearly 6 years. I did the most epic trail around India, made great friends, got intensely ill with Dengue fever, got scammed, cried happy tears (and angry ones), and with just two weeks left, I went to Goa. The next 3 months changed my life completely. I flew into Mumbai, nervous, and stayed with a host on Couchsurfing. I didn’t know any Indians, didn’t know a thing about the country and hadn’t even tried Indian food. I wanted change – and for some reason, I felt called to India.
I left my job as a nurse in Charlotte, NC after a year and thought “I need something to shake my life up!”. I had traveled in Europe a lot, had been to Uganda, and was looking for a little bit of culture shock. Back then, I didn’t even travel with a phone or internet. On my very first trip to India, in 2012, I came here alone with my backpack and a camera.
