This year, my boyfriend and I went to India for the month of May to travel around and experience a new culture we weren't familiar with. I can honestly say I'm going to go back and explore more of India for a longer time. Its absolutely amazing, theres so much to see and the Indian people are friendly and helpful. Although their obsession with white skin is quite overpowering, really they just want to talk to you or get a picture with you.
I found the markets and the beautiful colours you see day to day so inspiring, and I loved how most things like signs or buildings were hand painted and hand crafted. Its hard to get used to the incessant amount of cows strolling the streets, and don't forget wild dogs and monkeys too. Even so, its such an incredible place, you don't realise how big the country is once you're travelling. Here are some photos:
