Long time Whirlwind

I am going to write this before I will forget how amazing my last few days. Flashback - When I first met him. It was around July of 2014 if I am not wrong when a guy checked in in Pink Manila Hostel with a Harry Potter accent. And because I am innocent on how the world works and I am still in a culture shocked meeting different people from different side of the world questioning and challenging my faith and believes, each and everyday is either a trial and error like a test if really these people have different mind as I have. Sometimes I doubt myself if I am wrong and they are right or maybe that is the world works. Hearing his accent, a British one! I completely had a crush on this guy because of his accent. I don't know how I looked like back then but I know I looked weird having in my mind that maybe he is the Harry Potter voice over.  After that moment I feel I was talking to Harry Potter I asked his passport for checked in and I asked him, " Do you beli

I owe you loads of blogs and stories as this post is too late to write. Let say I live most of my days that I have no longer so much in front of my laptop except for work. I will bring back all my memories in India especially in Bikaner as I will share you what are the things to see/s and do/s. From Jaiselmer, India the next trip of my latino friends to visit is Bikaner. Davi was our navigator back then as he is the one who connects us all, also he wanted to make sure Jose can see more within the days he stays in India before  Jose will go back to Brazil. As far as I remember we only stay in Jaiselmer 1 day planning, 1 night in the desert, and 1 night for rest before going to Bikaner which is like a total of 4 days and 3 nights. I am a slow traveler so I was adjusting to be fast to be in their pace. Our group called Indian Crew and I am impressed that we have an app to track our expenses. Traveling with group sometimes you have a big bill and your other buddy got

India is a big country with a diverse of everything! So doing research is just an explosive idea on what to do in this country. But, Amritsar? I never include this on my list until Genius suggested it. And since my road is from North going South- Amritsar is the best Idea. When I arrived in India in Jaipur Airport move to Udaipur and decided to start North- the Himachal Pradesh- the road from Udaipur to Delhi- Chandigarh-Dharamshala is not a fun trip at all. It is 18 hours or more, trains with very uncomfortable facilities and the road from Chandigarh to Dharamshala makes me sick - very curvy road with a maniac driver! Oh, by the way, bug thanks to Naman to help me out from Udaipur to Delhi train trip- I owe you for that, see you soon! from Chandigarh to Dharamshala I was caught by a policy of not having a ticket that I have to pay 500 rupees. Thank God I had enough cash at that time but to be honest I consider it is not my fault, I keep asking where to buy a ticket and everyo
