Did you know I’ve travelled through India three times?
My first visit was at 17 years old, joining a group from school for a nine-day trek through the Ladakh region of the Himalayas. It was vast, humbling, and life-shifting in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time, but I’ve carried it with me ever since.
Years later, in 2017, my husband and I returned together and spent three months travelling through this extraordinary country. From the Dhobi Ghat in Mumbai to the golden deserts of Jaisalmer. From standing before the Taj Mahal in Agra to sailing along the sacred River Ganga in Varanasi. We wandered through tea plantations in Tamil Nadu and drifted along the backwaters of Kerala.
India is colour, contrast, devotion, and depth.
It is ancient and alive all at once.
What has always stayed with me most is the coexistence, the weaving together of people, faiths, traditions, animals, sound, and stillness.
Its history, and the ancient practices of Ayurveda and yoga, have long drawn me back. In many ways, I feel it was there that a quiet seed of Nidra108 was first planted, long before I even knew what it would become.
And something tells me… my time there isn’t finished yet.
