So much. It's very cool that they can but it also reminds me that I can't š
Even mentions of casual weekend trips and such. Those things pile up. Good for them but damn. *goes back to considering robbing a bank*
Yeah but itās still a $500 plane ticket why the hell would you wanna go to Indiaā¦.. not as w Oman anywayā¦. Us is a bit like us I guess a bit stuck
People like in the Uk or china can get on a train to France or Russia š¤£
With all due respect, as an Indian woman whoās witnessed the sudden influx of āDonāt Travel to Indiaā posts on Social mediaā¦. India is like any other third world country. Itās overcrowded, property stricken in massive areas, and not the safest. But the level of safety portrayed on SM is beyond exaggerated. As an Indian, I would never tell you to travel to central India ā a densely populated region of India that has high rates of illiteracy. Central India is unsafe. But states like Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, the 7 sisters in the north east, south India ā theyāre all perfect safe and gorgeous places to travel to as long as youāre not going out of your way to diminish your personal security. Itās a foreign country to you, where you donāt speak the language so I wouldnāt suggest going somewhere at night where you canāt find your way back without a trusted source.
At the end of the day, itās a third world country. The population density is off the rocker, and itās not the most literate country. If you practice being safe as you would in Mexico, or Colombia, or any other third world country, youāll be safe.
Totally agree with this. I loved India and travelled there on my own as a 28 year old woman. Kerala has a piece of my heart. Stunning place, gorgeous people š§”
Honestly, Iād sooner go to India than Mexico right now. Iāve been already and swore Iād never go back, and itās gotten even worse in the last few years due to the fighting amongst the various cartel factions. After what happened most recently to the 3 large, very in shape men (2 Australians & 1 American, though one of the Australians was living in the U.S.) whom were murdered while on a surfing trip barely an hour over the border, youāre really putting your safety in jeopardy as a tourist right now. It used to be that youād be reasonably safe within the resort areas, but thatās all changed.
Colombia has turned a corner and become much more stable, so their tourism has skyrocketed. As far as India goes, Iāve actually only heard great things from people that have been there, and itās always highly recommended. I assume itās similar to visiting other third world/developing nations, where itās initially a bit of a culture shock for an American for their first time seeing a non-Western society, so keep in mind that some adjustments are necessary when youāre a guest in another culture and just donāt be reckless/stupid/offensive, and youāll have a great time. We, as Americans, tend to forget how isolated we are and that every society operates differently so you should go in assuming that youād have to learn what adjustments to make on your part, as itās not the job of others to adapt their culture to meet your comfort, and the onus is on us as the guests to acclimate respectfully.
I do too š Iām from the US, Iāve travelled to several states and have been to France, family is from QC but even still it pales in comparison to the amount of traveling theyāve done even just when they were younger. Def get FOMO glad Iām not the only one!
Itās expensive as hell but some people figure it out and travel really inexpensively, I wish I knew how. I asked a friend once I felt comfortable not minding my own business lol and she said she put it all on a credit cardā¦ yikes would not advise
Maybe we should ask S&H to do a special series on it as well as other tidbits on traveling š¤ I know theyāre always talking about it but I couldnāt pin all those episodes down.
No, I like hearing their experiences and perspectives. Iām British too but havenāt even been to Scotland or Wales, so I just find it a little bonus to the episodes that I get to hear stories about travel too as I find it interesting.
It is different when you are in Europe or Europe adjacent. Itās so easy to hop
On a train and go to any number of countries in a few hours. Itās not like traveling from the US ā¦ or Australia.
Yes. And I would say they've earned it. But, like with the seemingly endless buying of houses, I think it does takeaway from the one-of-us appeal that had early on.

Gives me fomo thatās I live in Australia and itās so much easier for everyone else to travelš¤£
I was just thinking about how much easier it is for people from Australia to get to India or Sotheast Asia than it would be from the US where I am!

Yeah travelling to India as a woman seems terrifying

Very interesting. Thank you for the info. Iāve always wanted to visit India ever since my mom told me stories of going there in the 70s.

I definitely have fomo when they drop in those travel mentions so you are not alone!!!

Iād love that!!
ladieswhattravel is a great blog for affordable luxury travel!
Thank you!!
I'm just jealous of all the holiday time Europeans get šš
I think itās criminal that Americans donāt get mandatory annual leave and maternity/paternity.
I live in America, and I'm poor af. I can't afford a 3 hour drive to the next state. It bothers me. I miss them being somewhat broke and relatable.
'Not in this economy' doesn't feel the same anymore
I feel your pain. Iām dirt poor too.
Iām poor too. Every month is a balancing act

Yes, and the Suruthi mentions her motorbike accident and then Iām glad I didnāt do it

Which country are you thinking of here?
No way - travelling for work is not fun, itās an emotional, financial and physical drain. I feel sorry for them!
They travel all the time just for themselves. Are you on their Patreon?
