How to live in India
How I did it: I have wanted to travel to India since I saw the movie "A Little Princess" when I was 7 years old. I remember going and buying saris and would insist going everywhere in one. I thought the idea of India was completely entrancing. Then, after I finished school, my parents bought me a ticket over there and I, in the previous year, had saved up for everything else. I went with a volunteer program, with 3 other Australian girls and stayed at an amazing volunteer apartment with Channel Youth, in Udaipur. I stayed there for about 4 months and desperately wish to return to my "Indian family" with the "sisters" that I gained there. Truly amazing, and definitely life changing. I fell in love with India.
Lessons & tips: Just do it (nike tick!) haha. Be wild, be free. But don't do it the "tourist" way. Be a local, and immerse yourself.
Resources: The things that I would take to India if I did it again that I didn't take over there:
-Baby wipes
-Dental floss
-My soul mate :)
-More money
Look up Channel Youth. A great organisation.
