Watch this documentary length vlog and find out why India blew my mind! One minute, I was squeezing through the crazy streets of Mumbai, surrounded by honking tuktuks and sizzling street food. The next, I was stepping into pure luxury at the Taj Palace Hotel, where history and elegance come to life. In Dharavi, I met incredible people who turn almost nothing into something amazing. In Goa, I slowed down, eating spicy crab curry by the beach and soaking in the nightlife. Alibaug was a total surprise, hidden villas, amazing food, and peaceful escapes. From exploring ancient forts to learning how to make naan in a traditional tandoor, this trip changed the way I see India. You don’t want to miss this adventure! #travelindia
