So where am I going?  Taiwan and Korea!  Taiwan?  Who goes to Taiwan?  (Good question.)  Korea?  South Korea, right?  (Yes.  Well, mostly.)  People are always asking how I choose my destinations.  [Read more…]

India was challenging.  India was frustrating.  India was exhausting.  India could be heartbreaking.  India was very, very dirty.  And it was all worth it.  Travel in India comes with a learning curve.  The longer I was there, the more I learned how to be a traveler in India.  And if you go, you’ll be ahead of the game after reading about [Read more…]

This is a picture from the Chettiars' Temple in Singapore.  I'm sure I'll have ample opportunity to take pictures of Hindu culture in India.  Singapore, Asia.
