BEAUTIFUL MUNNAR: We spent too long in this beautiful hill station. It was cool (for the south), gorgeous, calm, and had incredible South Indian street food. Can't ask for much more.
HIKING IN THE TEA PLANTATIONS: Did a good deal of hiking in these beautiful hills... and a good deal of bush whacking as well.
TIRUVANAMALLAI: We spent a few nights in this town whose claim to fame is the Sri Ramana Maharshi Ashram. We circumnavigated the nine miles around the mountain (Mt. Arunuchala, which draws people from all over the world to feel its power), and visited the cave where Sri Ramana Maharshi lived for nearly 20 years. It was a powerful place to be.
DHARAMSALA: Also known as Little Tibet, this is the home of the Dalai Lama an the exiled Tibetan government. It is a beautiful small town tucked into the lower Himalayas.
I am a pretty average girl who finds joy in simple things, like when bubbles fly out of the soap bottle when you're washing dishes. I spent the past five years in Los Angeles working in education, and I am generally pretty stoked on life. Despite the fact that we really are living the good life, my husband Adam and I decided that we had a bit more exploring to do before getting too settled. Adam and I are high school sweet hearts, best friends, partners in crime, and teammates in life. Together, we have decided to venture out into the unknown to ensure that we achieve our dream of a life well lived because, well, it would be rude not to.
