Leaving loved-ones is always difficult. Traveling is my passions but I can do without saying “Good-byes.” I felt like I could create a river with my tears. I have been to Dominican Republic, Peru, London, and Tanzania and I am still an emotional wreak every time.
On the bright side, INDIA is phenomenal and it feels likes a “home away from home.” While I was on the plane the Indian couple thought I was Indian and began to speak to me in Hindi. They were very kind and friendly. She asked me questions, I helped her fill out her immigration form, she gave me a hug and wished me a good journey.
Also, some customs and sites are very similar; for instance, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The market is very similar to markets back home in the Dominican Republic because there are a lot of people and displaying their goods in stalls. There is also a lot of variety – so many yummy fruits and vegetables like passion fruit, jack fruit, black grapes, guava, watermelon, apples, oranges – and all of the food is fresh.
Moreover, INDIA is so new and full of adventure everyday but very familiar at the same time. Therefore, despite how difficult it is to leave my friends, family and boyfriend, India is the perfect destination since it feels like home.
