Beginning When you hear the word “Dubai,” do you only think of tall buildings and expensive vacations? A lot of people do, but I’m here to tell you that the real magic of this UAE trip is how beautiful the contrast is between its modern wonders and its rich history. This mix is why the city is consistently ranked high for tourism in Dubai. I remember my first visit. I thought it would just be a […]

Beginning People know India for its beautiful scenery, old temples, and colorful buildings. People often think about adventure and spiritual growth when they think about going there. You need a visa to go to India if you want to see the busy streets of Delhi or the quiet beaches of Goa. A lot of people who are going for the first time think of the application as a bureaucratic nightmare because there are so many rules and forms that […]
Beginning The common perception of Sri Lanka travel is that you need weeks to soak it all in—a beautiful, slow meander through jungles, tea plantations, and ancient sites. While that pace is certainly idyllic, what if you have just four days to capture the very heart of the island? This Sri Lanka 4-day itinerary is designed for you. I used to believe that fast travel meant missing out. On my first trip to the Cultural Triangle Sri Lanka, I attempted […]
Beginning India is often portrayed in media as a land of great challenge and risk for women traveling alone. I remember my own apprehension before my first solo journey. I accepted the inevitability of chaos and unwanted attention, but when I embraced the right strategy, I encountered a nation full of deep kindness, rich culture, and unparalleled options for self-discovery. While it may sound obvious, the key to unlocking India’s magic—that is, being safe and comfortable—is […]
A lot of people who go on vacation during Diwali think of it as just a big party with fireworks. The show is great, but the real meaning of India’s Festival of Lights is much deeper: it’s about the personal, spiritual journey from darkness to light. I remember my first Diwali in Jaipur, the Pink City. I was expecting a huge carnival in the street. Instead, I quietly helped a family light hundreds of tiny […]
Beginning You probably think of India’s dry landscape as a bare desert, right? I did, until I went on a Royal Rajasthan tour for the first time. Right away, the picture was replaced by a beautiful tapestry of pink, blue, and gold cities, shimmering lakes, and strong fortresses on top of hills. My own story? I felt a strong connection to a time long ago when I stood on the ramparts of Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, looking […]
From Reel to Real: Finding the Magic of Mumbai’s Movie Sets When people think of Mumbai, they often picture crowded trains and tall finance buildings. But underneath the surface, there is a much more lively, dream-filled reality: the exciting world of Bollywood. I still remember the first night I walked along Marine Drive. The famous “Queen’s Necklace” streetlights twinkled just like they do in a dozen love songs. The silver screen disappeared, and I was […]
Introduction You probably think of India’s festivals as a frenetic, almost overpowering show of bright colors, loud fireworks, and happy crowds. But I’m here to tell you that these big parties have a quieter, deeper side. My own adventure didn’t start in a big city; it started in a little town in Rajasthan around Diwali. I witnessed families carefully making rangoli patterns, kids lighting little clay lights on their doorsteps, and neighbors giving each other […]
Introduction: From Takeout to Tradition When you think of any Indian cuisine, you might picture the aromatic and the creamy curries that are from your local restaurants. But the true soul of Indian cooking lies not in the menu of any restaurant but in the home kitchen where centuries of family recipes are passed down through generations of the family.
