  • I did a little more research on Dhobi Gat, the largest open air laundry in the world. The washers are called “dhobis” and they wash the city’s hotel and hospital sheets, clothes and linens here. It’s over 140 years old, and the water is sourced from a drinking water tap. Each day an estimated half a million pieces of sheets and clothes are brought here to be laundered either through machine or mostly by hand and pressed. Now, there’s an effective tracking method that remarkably keeps things organized and prevents from getting lost - a tag with a unique code to ensure it goes back to the owner. The dhobis live and work in this laundromat, often for generations, and you can imagine it’s a tireless, thankless job. But someone’s gotta do it, and they do it well. I am curious though, what happens in monsoon season? 🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺 #India #mumbai #bombay #dhobighat #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #goexplore #travelmore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #adventurethatislife	#lovetotravel #travelblogging #tblogger #thattravelblog #solotravel #travelislife #instatravel #travelgram #passportready #travelblogger #ilovetravel #travelblog #travelpics  #travelphotography
  • 🇮🇳Bombay, you’ve been a gracious host. Thank you and namaste! I will be back 🇮🇳💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚💛💚 #India #mumbai #bombay #incredibleindia #maharashtra #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #goexplore #travelmore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #adventurethatislife	#lovetotravel #travelblogging #tblogger #thattravelblog #solotravel #travelislife #instatravel #travelgram #passportready #travelblogger #ilovetravel #travelblog #travelpics  #travelphotography
  • “We lived in Bombay, and we lived in Mumbai, and sometimes we lived in both of them at the same time.” 🇮🇳 It’s true, I kept hearing Indians switch back and forth between Mumbai and Bombay, so I asked, which one is it? Turns out it’s both, and I think that beautifully captures the mix of its imperial heritage with modern freedom and reclamation of identity. Never forget who we were, as it is who we are now - after all, it’s one in the same. ☺️💛💚 #India #mumbai #bombay #maharashtra

  • It took me a bit to separate my focus and emotions from the extreme poverty, filth and chaos of the slums. My heart hurt seeing such indigence, of the gut wrenching smells in the alleys, of the mountains of discarded waste and thick air of pollution... But then I shifted my attention to a different sight in the same picture: the bright eyes, the kind smiles, the friendly chatter between neighbors, welcoming head wags in my direction, people helping one another lift jugs of water for the community, and children playing as if it was the best day of their lives - and I realized that was it: the cruelly beautiful contrast of this world. How even poverty can breed so much joy, love and a sense of community. And isn’t that nice? In this crazy, evolving, sometimes ruthless world we live in - isn’t that just fucking fantastic? 😊 Just my thoughts over Chai, reminding me why I fell in love with India years ago ☕️🇮🇳💛💚🙏🏼 #india #mumbai #Bombay #maharashtra #incredibleindia #slums #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #goexplore #travelmore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #adventurethatislife	#lovetotravel #travelblogging #tblogger #thattravelblog #solotravel #travelislife #instatravel #travelgram #passportready #travelblogger #ilovetravel #travelblog #travelpics  #travelphotography
  • “Bombay is the feeling, Mumbai is just the name.” 💛🇮🇳💚 #india #bombay #mumbai #incredibleindia #maharashtra  #wanderlust #adventureseeker #doyoutravel #goexplore #travelmore #wonderfulplaces #openmyworld #adventurethatislife	#lovetotravel #travelblogging #tblogger #thattravelblog #solotravel #travelislife #instatravel #travelgram #passportready #travelblogger #ilovetravel #travelblog #travelpics  #travelphotography
  • Today I close my chapter in Madrid. While I’m a swell of emotions, one rises above all, and that’s gratitude.
🇪🇸
I’ve lived two years in a place where the Iberian sun has warmed my face every day. I’ve indulged in the relaxed and savory lifestyle of the Mediterranean (initially interpreted as lazy 😂). I’ve grumped and cursed in frustration learning the language, and at the same time I’ve laughed off my mistakes and owned my developing skill. 🇪🇸
I often thought of the artists and musicians who roamed the same streets I did so many years ago, finding their inspiration and muse in the landscape and culture. While I didn’t find my muse, I do feel gratitude. A gratitude for the experience, for the humbling ego checks, for the endless plates of food and bottles of wine, for the fantastic new friends I made along this journey, and for the growing pains of marriage and love, each reflecting parts of the ever emerging adult in me. 🇪🇸So Spain, muchas gracias for some of the most interesting and transformational years of my life. It’s definitely not goodbye, it’s hasta luego 😉.
🇪🇸
Texas, I’m coming for ya! 🧡
