What a nice airport; they even have a lounge specifically for American Express card holders (got a free breakfast and got to rewatch Silence of the Lambs on a plush couch) Now on my way to the Hindu spiritual capital of Varanasi, alone. This should be interesting. -...

I’ve only been here for 24 hours, and I’m already hanging out with Steffi (my new German friend I had met yesterday at the airport), Tanmay (a mutual friend of Vaibhav who found me wandering in the streets of Calcutta), and a few of...

So this afternoon, when Becky went off to work, I went for a run in the park next to her apartment. Cool thing – there are also these workout machines that use your weight (instead of adjustable weights) inside the park as well! So after you run on the track...

It’s a night I’ll never forget. After spending 24/7 with each other for 40 consecutive days in 11+ countries, it was finally time to say goodbye: my travel partner, Annah, just left for Korea. For the first time in 40 days, I’m alone. But...
