I can't believe that my travels have come to an end. I have been travelling for more than 6 months and tomorrow when I arrive back home it'll be 199 days since I left Sweden, a perfect day to return I'd say. After my month in Rishikesh I have spent one sweaty week in Mumbai. It isn't even funny, the second you move out of reach of the ceiling fan or walk down the street when there's no breeze on your skin, you're covered in sweat. Everything is just sticky and s...

My month in Rishikesh is coming to an end and it feels a little bit sad to leave this place tomorrow, although I'm starting to feel ready to go back home. I've been staying at an ashram this whole month. It's a place where you practice yoga, meditation, eat simple, healthy food and do morning fire ceremonies and evening chanting together.

A nice man offered us seats, so at least we didn't have to stand. But sitting on a hard bench for eight hours, squeezed between people was not comfortable. Travelling in the night ...

I've spent four days in Jaipur now and tomorrow I'll be leaving for Delhi. It's been nice to spend a few more nights in the same place, the last weeks have been quite intense with a lot of travelling and a lot of new places. I traveled with Maxi from Agra, the train ride was only four hours, so we got a general class ticket and sneaked us onto the sleeper class carriage. We had a long wait on the train station though, because every train headed our direction was ...
