BACKPACKING ADVENTURES

Hi! I’m Michelle and this is my story! I fell in love with traveling and travel photography when I was a kid. In my 20's I started solo backpacking. Later, I was trapped by corporate America and lost track of my passions. Now, in my 40's I've left the corporate life and have rekindled my adventurous spirit. I love backpacking, yoga, fitness, and the amazing people I meet around the world! Please follow me for love and inspiration!

We got HIGH on MT. EVEREST!!!

After an exhausting journey in India and Nepal, we decided we deserved one final splurge....one relaxing, AMAZING, breathtaking, positive memory to return home with....... When we were in Pokhara, we saw an advertisement for helicopter rides to the Annapurna Base Camp and thought it would be amazing. I reached out by email to a couple …

Varanasi to Bodhgaya

Hello there! It's Troy, guest writing a post about our recent experiences in Bodhgaya, India. This is a place I had been excited to visit for some time because of its ties to Buddhism. This is where the Buddha became enlightened after meditating under the bodhi tree about 2500 years ago. Buddhists from many different …

Agra in a day…The Taj!

We arrived in Agra after a day of travel from Jaipur. We decided to call it an early night and get up for sunrise at the Taj Mahal. It was a brisk morning with a thick layer of fog, and unfortunately, smog. On the positive side, the crowds were light and fog-smog made for some …

Into the Golden Triangle…Jaipur

After a 5-1/2 hour drive we arrived in Jaipur. We were expecting a bit of a slower pace, but found a lot of the same hectic scene. There are only 3.5 million people instead of 18 million as in Delhi, but being a smaller city, it doesn’t seem much different. There are definitely lots of …

Hong Kong and Delhi Delights

In our first 72 hours we made our way from Denver to LA to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong we had a whirlwind 9-1/2 hour layover with a visit to the city, then on to Delhi for a quick night’s rest and a day of craziness, sights, and taking in several markets. We bought a …
