It's been awhile since I shared a Fits on the Road post, but I love documenting a trip on here. I think these posts are super helpful if someone ever asks me for advice on a particular location; it's great to have these posts on which to refer back. I also just like to have the details for my own personal "journal!" (If you want to read any previous Fits on the Road posts, I have a full page Continue Reading

Last weekend, my manager Lisa and I took a weekend trip from Mumbai (where we are working) to Jaipur, India. Jaipur is a northern city, the capital city of the Indian state of Rajasthan. Like the 50 states of the US, the 29 states of India are all apparently very different. I had only been to Mumbai at this point during my time in India, so I am so glad that I had the opportunity to explore Continue Reading
Fits on the Road: A Tour of Mumbai with Bravo Bombay
Last Sunday, I took a full day city tour of Mumbai India with "Bravo Bombay." Bravo Bombay is a one-woman shop; that one-woman being a guide named Hemali Talsania. And that one woman is amazing!
