It has been a few weeks since the program ended, and I now have some time to reflect on the incredible experiences and growth I have undergone during my time in India. This adventure has been transformative on personal, academic, and professional levels, leaving me with a wealth of skills and knowledge to carry into…

The One Where We Say Our Goodbyes
Hey guys, I’ve been home for 2+ weeks, and I still cannot believe I actually went to India and made it back. As crazy as this sounds, but I can still see the mountains when I close my eyes. The whole trek feels so vivid, like I could just snap my fingers and be back…
The trek lives on (in my camera roll)
I’ve been avoiding writing this blog because I can’t believe it’s over. 24 days ago, I was returning from a trekking experience I knew would stay with me for the rest of my life. I initially chose to do this program because it aligned with everything I value, like the outdoors, physical excursions, teamwork, and…
Such is life.. until next time
When I think back on my life-changing experience, I can see that I have grown significantly on a professional, intellectual, and personal level. My perspective of myself and the world around me has been significantly altered by this once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Himalayas and India. I, myself, became aware of my adaptability and resilience.

everything good must come to an end
Hey there, it has been about two weeks (we made it here late May 31st), and I am feeling okay — it has been an adjustment integrating back into society for sure. From little things like not discussing personal details to larger things like bills, a corporate job, and my social life. It has been…

The Final Blog :)
After everything that happened before I left India, I’m incredibly grateful to be safe at home. I missed spending time with my family, as our opposite sleeping schedules in India meant we couldn’t talk much. Back home, life has resumed quickly—I’ve started a new job and am preparing for upcoming tests. The break from daily…
Leaving India with Leadership Skills
On May 28th, we departed from Delhi to Agra. Although the journey took around 3 to 4 hours, the scenic road made it feel much shorter. Upon arriving in Agra, we checked into our hotel and had lunch there. Following lunch, we visited the Agra Fort, a magnificent structure built by the Mughal emperors. I…
The One With The Taj!
Hey everyone! Since my last post, we’ve been on quite an adventure through Delhi and Agra. Imagine this: we swapped Big Macs for Maharaja Macs at Indian McDonald’s and dove headfirst into the wild world of haggling in street markets. It was like being in a Bollywood movie—chaos, color, and incredible deals everywhere! One of…
