Things To Do in Jaipur: The Pink City of India
Jaipur is one of the biggest and the most touristy city of Rajasthan. The Pink City, as they call it, signifies the hospitality of Jaipurians towards its visitors. Majestic royal fortresses and palaces, colorful attires, authentic Rajasthani food spicy enough to make you cry your eyes out, or folk dancers that’ll make you dance with them; this is just the beginning of what Jaipur has to offer. If you’re already following my journey on Instagram, you probably already know that I did a wee trip to Jaipur with one of my girlfriends over a weekend.

A Summer Road Trip to Vermont
Wooden covered bridges, Victorian inns and domestic farms: this ain’t even close to what Vermont has to offer. Vermont, known as the Green Mountain State holds true to its title. Mountains clad with green trees are the usual sight as soon as you enter the state. The views are of course different during the fall as you witness beautiful fall colors. Vermont is one of the five states that comes under the New England region of the USA. While I’ve always heard of the awestruck beauty of the New England region during the fall, I visited Vermont in summers, and believe me when I say that it was nothing less than amazing!…

Airbnb Review in Stowe, Vermont
I love staying in B&Bs, especially if I’m in the countryside. They are small, they are usually cute, and they are personal as you live with the locals. Living in a B&B with locals lets me dig in further in the cultures and customs of a place I’m visiting. I love talking to people, knowing about them, asking for their recommendations for offbeat places. When Anshul and I visited Vermont, we booked a cutesy little B&B in Stowe. You can book the one I booked from AirBnB by clicking this link and you also get $40 off on your first booking. Yay! 😀 In this post, I’m going to be reviewing my…
