A triumphant return!

As I write this post I am preparing for a return trip to my second home: India! More to follow as I solidify my plans. As of today, I will return to volunteer with Cross Cultural Solutions, but this time I'll stay in Dharmasla. This is a small area way up north near Pakistan and the Kashmir region. I will stay for 3-4 weeks and take another 3 weeks to work on my Masters Thesis (also more to come once I figure things out!). In keeping with this festive mood I'm posting a few of my favorite pictures from my last trip. Enjoy!



A little cliche, but cute none the less!

Cross Cultural Soultions: My Home Away From Home

My return to the US has been bittersweet. I am happy to be with my family again, however, I was finally acclimating to my new way of life in India. There are many things I miss from India and one of them is the CCS staff! I had a wonderful experience working with Cross Cultural Solutions and especially the New Delhi staff. Walking into the office was like walking into my own house. The kitchen was adjacent to the front door and I would see Pavan or Suresh Bhai preparing one of our meals (or if I played my cards correctly arrive just in time for chai {tea})!
