I have entered the terrifying world of responsibility again. I may go into shock. I actually have to set my alarm every day and be somewhere by 9AM, and I don’t get back home until 5:30PM. Unfortunately – this new lifestyle is not making me any money – but it’s the path to my ticket […]
For the ‘best of’ Delhi Photography – click here! For the ‘best of’ Agra and Taj Mahal Photography – click here! For the ‘best of’ Rajasthan Photography – click here! I wasn’t supposed to be here, in India that is. When I left the US a year ago I had many people ask me if […]
Tears fell like a monsoon rain… View Photos of my class and the party I have cried many tears throughout this year of travel, however they have mainly been tears for me. These tears tend to fall into two categories; tears for my unanswered questions about my future, and tears for joy. However yesterday I […]
No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher’s dirty looks… Over the past year I have had many reasons to smile. Yet today was probably one of the most memorable reasons to smile this entire year of adventure and work free lifestyle. The strangest thing is that this smile spreads across my face uncontrollably […]

Mam, there are 20 different ways to tie a sari. For photos of Ladie’s Night – click here! Every day is full of lessons. Today was a varied as normal. I’m starting to get a feel for the teaching. A part of me even thinks that I’m good at it…and then I realize the difference […]
I learned today that there is a man that works in our colony (neighborhood) that simply is the ‘ironing man’. No – I’m not talking about a James Taylor song. He irons clothes all day for 1 rupee per piece – that equates to about 2 cents a garment. He works between my flat and my […]
Finished week 1 – Intermittent Power and Water – But Plenty of Hospitality! Whoohooo…..it’s the weekend! I’ve worked my butt off this week – mainly stressing out about teaching and banging my head against a wall when it comes to internet usage around here..which I can’t seem to find anywhere with any reliability. Despite being […]
