Delhi, India

January 2015


Delhi is the capital of India, and home to a population of 11 million people. While not the craziest traffic I have experienced, it was close (think Ho Chi Minh, Beijing). For me the highlight was the Red Fort, which in the setting sun seemed to shine as bright as the sun.


The Qutab Minar makes for an impressive photo, but can be hard to access.


Humayun's Tomb was a pleasant surprise, and I found the whole complex impressive, not just the main attraction, which is the tomb itself.

Jaipur, India

January 2015


I visited Jaipur mainly for the Amber fort, but it was the pink city that really caught my eye and made it memorable.


Located in Rajasthan, Jaipur is known for its architecture and local cuisine.

Agra, India

January 2015



 The home of the Taj Mahal, but home to so much more as well. I have always wanted to visit the Taj Mahal, but to be honest travelling in India always made me a little nervous. This time travelling as a single female made it a bit more complex, but with some insider knowledge, a driver and a local tour guide it was so much more than I could have ever dreamed.


Major tip, visit the Tomb of I'timād-ud-Daulah (or baby Taj) first. Also visit the Taj in the am and pm.


The Agra fort was also impressive and worth an hour or so.
