Driving a motorcycle in India at night is …. Wow. It’s like driving directly into oncoming traffic on a road that they paved, but forgot to smooth (so it’s like a four-wheeling in the mountains because of all the bumps and potholes), while someone shines strobe and flashlights in your eyes…
I’m sitting in a Greek restaurant in Goa, India. I’m drinking 10 year Glen Livet Scotch Whisky and listening to American techno pop music pumped through the speakers. Breezes blow in off the Arabian Sea and I watch the sun set in the West before me. After I finish my…
Hi! I’m writing from Goa! I am staying in a beautiful hotel called the Empire Beach Resort. It’s on Calangute Beach, in North Goa. It was suggested to me by my sister’s friend Alec. My cousin Pranu called to check on pricing for me (you never know when they’re going…
My sister Jayanthi and her boyfriend Aakash are both musicians. (While I may be a little biased) They are both incredible artists. You can check out their websites by clicking on their names. They are both living in Kolkata and working on their music. Aakash, composer and alto saxophonist extraordinaire,…
Today, I went to Kalighat, to the temple for the goddess Kali in Kolkata. This is known, I believe to be one of the largest temples in the city and is known to me as well from my previous time in Kolkata. I may have mentioned this before, but I…
Hello! I am currently in Kolkata, in West Bengal, India. My sister and her boyfriend have been living here since August, which is the main reason I chose to start my journey here. And the reason I wanted to start travel when I did is because I wanted to be…
Goodbye USA! See you when I see you! After days of hectic chaos and preparations to leave, I am finally at the airport. My parents certainly helped facilitate that. I might still be packing if they hadn’t helped me out so much. And thanks to them for tying up loose…
Normally i love Tuesdays. (Marginally mre so than most of the other days, even.) But tomorrow will be Tuesday. And this Tuesday will mean i only have TWO DAYS until i leave!!! What happened to that two week cushion i had? So crazy, so many things to write, but even…
Woah, I have no idea what happened to the last several months, weeks, days of my life! All of a sudden, there are only two weeks until I leave on my trip! I’m pretty sure I just blinked after the show and now all of a sudden it’s practically time…
Tonight, I get to perform in The Vagina Monologues with these amazing women! And again on Saturday at 2 and 6! It’s a fundraiser to help stop violence against women, and each of these ladies is a true fighter herself. I’m proud to know each one of them.
Woah, hard as it is to believe, the day has already arrived. Tomorrow will be my last shift at my job. It is possible that I may scrub in for my last c-section tomorrow. That is so just crazy and a bit sad to me. I’ve been working at the…
Oh man, this is the weather I saw outside my window today… Inches of snow, blanketing everything. And more falling, even now. This is totally beautiful and normally not a problem. I like snow, for the most part. However, my heater went out this week. Already, my condo sits on…
Yesterday, I went with Soraya, the organizer of Greeley V-Day, to the Moxi. This is the theater where we see having the monologues this year. We wanted to measure the stage so we can block some space off to practice before we actually have dress rehearsal onstage. Also, I wanted…
Oh the sunset was all gorgeous last night! What a view I have from my place… I’ll miss this when I leave Colorado.
Ah, Vagina season! (And by this, I mean the season when we do the Vagina Monologues. Not Vagina Season in the Elmer Fudd, we’re hunting wabbits, vagina-hunting, aspect of the word.) I love this time of year. This last week we had 2 very important days for the cast. One was…
Woah. My last day at work is in exactly one month. I’ve already given my notice at the hospital where I’ve been a working as a surgical tech on labor and delivery. It’s true. I really am quitting my job so I can travel the world! Having my last day…
“Hey, did you hear about so-and-so, who just quit their job to travel the world?” For as long as I remember, I’ve been a bit jealous whenever I heard that statement from someone. That little monster, Wanderlust, would perk its ears up within me and give a little growl. I…
