With a shared passion for travel my partner and I have journeyed throughout Asia over the years. Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and The Philippines have allowed us amazing adventures. India, however, draws us back time and again. The culture, the colour and landscape together with the unexpected on a daily basis make it addictive.
Every year we go travelling for three months during the winter. With nothing much planned apart from return flights to Mumbai, a 5kg backpack each, a modest budget and a sense of humour we set off on another adventure in January, 2020. Our trip took us across India from Mumbai to Calcutta using trains and buses. Travelling light is key to this style of travel.
We then took a flight to Myanmar and made our way south crossing the land border into Thailand.
Eventually we flew back to Varanasi in India finishing our travels in Goa.
Due to the pandemic our thirteen week trip was cut short and we returned to England three weeks early.
Although we never know what’s around the corner when we’re travelling we could never have predicted how this particular trip was going to end.
