Adventures in India

In June 2005, I will be taking a trip to India to volunteer with an organization called Cross Cultural Solutions. This is a log about my thoughts and adventures as I prepare, embark, and return from this trip.

About Me

Name:
Location: Indianapolis, IN, United States

How does one describe themselves...I am a girl, brownish blonde curly hair, 5'3. I usually mess up phrases and my friends endearingly call them brookisms. I love to sit on a porch swing with a cup of tea (not coffee). I have a ton of questions rolling around in my head but I am not sure if I am allowed to ask them. I am a mess, not very impressive...but I am lovely and full of life. I want to love well. I like to decorate and dream of fixing up homes. I want to have more courage to be with the poor...truly be with them not just charity. I want to be able to garden but currently suck at it. I am trying to learn French but I am a numbers girl and I have trouble speaking English. I want to travel to beautiful places but I wish I could see every place as beautiful. I want to learn how to scuba dive. I would rather go to a mountain lake than the ocean beach. I find water very therapeutic and wish I could be around it more.

The Beginning

So, I left Indianapolis at 6 o'clock tonight and we are now in Toronto. It was a fun flight. I got to sit next to this engaging lady who used to be an accountant, now has a business, and lives in a boat in Vancouver. We talked about the challenges of starting a new business...both fun and bad. We discussed different ideas about business. The conversation was very fascinating...we also talked about different religions and the fundamental beauty of most them.

Tomorrow we are going to tour a little of Toronto and then off to Delhi. The next flight is 13 1/2 hours and the time difference is 10 1/2 hours....so we leave at 8:50 on Sunday and get there at 8:30 on Monday....amazing.

The adventure has truly begun.
