How to go to India
It made me
Deliriously happy
 "Totally, indescribably awesome."
How I did it: I was offered the chance to go for 2 weeks on a missions trip, so I grabbed the opportunity, travelled round villages and cities across India, visited orphanages and churches, made some wonderful friends, learnt some of the language, got offered a job and decided I'll go back and live there! Lessons & tips: Don't hesitate when you glimpse a chance.

amazing
How I did it: I planned for a very long time. I had intended to go over and volunteer for an amount of time and then travel around, but I couldn't really find a volunteer program that I thought fit and that I didn't think was somewhat taking advantage of me, as they're all so expensive. (If you're looking to volunteer look at wwoof.org - Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms, they usually provide food and lodging for free in exchange for work on a… Read how I did it…
It made me
a better person
How I did it: We took a trip through Nepal and India on a Geckos tour. It was a bit rough traveling around and you can expect to spend more time than you would like getting from one city to another rather than being in one city then another. However, the rough aspects of things in India is well worth the reward of experiencing the culture, people, history and cuisine... the absolute best food we've ever had traveling (did I mention the food?)!

I don't even know how to explain it

I have dreamt about India since i was 10 and became fascinated with henna…then bought henna, and got really good at it and got a job at a spa. I’ve read so many books about india, my bookshelf is probably 80% India books. I try to explain to people how much it means to me, but no one understands.
I’m so obsessed it’s bizarre.. I’ve made (never booked) about 1000 trips on expedia. When I was 15 I started saving up money so I could go as soon as I graduated but I went to London with my school and had to use it for that. I feel like I need to go there to become who I really am. I know it will change me. I’m so afraid I’ll never go.

Bought the guide

I’m planning to go to India for a couple of months sometime in the next year. So far, I’ve bought the Lonely Planet Guide (which weighs about a ton) and am looking forward to having time to read it.

RAWR!
Everything I love just gets sold back to me..
There’s one hell of a market for westerners willing to pay top dollar for a taste of enlightenment and a picture of them standing next to a guru for their myspace page.

I’ve found a volunteer program that would be $900 for a month’s stay, which is a deal in contrast to the other volunteer programs, but still feels like maybe too much.
An ashram stay may be my best bet.

Volunteer Program Scams
3 months ago
I’d like to get involved in a volunteer program, but I too am having the same problem as the person above, which is that the cost of these supposed non profits really takes advantage of you, especially when you consider the worth of American dollars there.
I’m working on it, though.. still researching organizations.

How do I do it ?
Well I buy a plane ticket and get there and see what there is to see. Walk on roads with other people, meet interesting new people, stop beeing so afraid of travelling.
