It is diverse, it is secular, it is rich and it is complete… It is a country that lives and breathes with its people. A country that invites you and a country that assures you of finding that missing meaning of your existence on this planet – It is India. The Incredible One, don’t forget! It is here that one gets rid of a feeling of incompleteness as India and its unimaginable and unmatched vast culture and heritage engulfs you, along with the people who are too simple and loving to have any prejudices even for strangers, leaving little scope for materialistic pleasures.

The year-long trip I am currently taking with my husband and children (2 boys, 10 and 14) was a childhood dream of mine. It was a dream shared when I met my husband and extended to a family world trip once we had children. We chose to take the trip in the year when our older son would have started high school, fearing that if we didn’t go now his high school years would fly by with little opportunity to take a year away from school.
