One Week to Go!!

So this time next week I will be in Delhi!! It definitely does not feel real yet and mostly I'm just a big ball of nerves. I've heard enough warnings about inevitable stomach issues, sweltering heat, and dangerous traffic to accept that my time in India will be intense. I hope I can maintain an open-mind and my sense of adventure in spite of all the caution that is swirling in my head. I am definitely looking forward to my first chai, dahl, and samosoa--as in most of my trips the food is always a main priority! Mostly I am excited to experience India for myself. I've talked to so many people in the past few months about India and it seems like every experience is incredibly unique. I really don't know what to expect and while that makes me completely nervous I'm also at a point where I'm just going to let go and experience everything as it comes.

  5. lucky you! the only thing that will bother you is that you are going at the hottest time of the year. when you step out of the Indira Gandhi International Airport, you will literally feel like there is a big oven blowing hot air all around you and you'll start sweating within...6 seconds of stepping outside. you're just gonna have to get used to it =P
