Delhiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
We were granted a much-needed free day to relax and explore after the journey. We strolled around figure eight, buying a little and taking in the mood of the area. We went to Tanya’s restaurant for dinner and it was the best We also bought some goods from the Hanifl Center as keepsakes of our…
The One With All The Food!!
Hey everyone! Since my last post, we’ve had some much-needed downtime to explore the beautiful Mussoorie.

The View from Up Here
I know I learned more about myself on this trek, but it feels impossible to articulate the ways in which I did. How do you explain things that are so introspective? I knew I didn’t do well without real routine, but on the trek, I truly learned to what extent that affects my life. Not…
