In this post, we’ll provide a detailed look at what Holi in Udaipur was like. We’ll outline the specifics of the celebrations in Udaipur and recap our personal experience.

In this post, we’ll help you plan a trip to Udaipur, India. We’ll introduce you to the city, and then explore the best things to do there.

Jaipur is the capital of Rajasthan and the state’s most populous city. It’s nicknamed the Pink City after the color of its buildings, though today most appear to be more rusty red in color. The city’s interesting architecture and mountainside forts has earned Jaipur its place on the Golden Triangle — a popular tourist circuit …

Delhi is a popular entry point to India. It’s the country’s capital and third largest city, so there is tons of stuff to see and do. Three days is a perfect amount of time to spend in Delhi, and this itinerary will help you fill those days perfectly. In this post, we’ll explore the ins …

We’ve told a lot of stories in the past 457 days.

Fifteen months after we left on our year-long trip around the world, we’re finally back — back in the US, back to full-time jobs and back to US phone numbers. We’ve returned with memories of medinas in Morocco and alleyways in Australia. We can now say thank you in almost 40 languages. We put condensed …

I never considered myself an animal person. Other than birds, which I love, I’ve never really cared too much about animals. Or so I thought. Then we started traveling the world.
