They usually asked where I was going and said they knew of a better place. Some asked if I&#8217;d like to join them at a cafe. There was the rickshaw driver that tricked me into a long tour\u00a0and\u00a0the guide in a\u00a0National park that\u00a0didn&#8217;t mention we&#8217;d accidentally paid him twice.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t want to scare you off.<\/p>\n<p>I met\u00a0children with\u00a0genuine curiosity. A\u00a0family that treated me\u00a0like a movie star and shyly asked for a photo. The\u00a0woman who told\u00a0me off as I squeezed passed her on a\u00a0full metro train, then her surprise and confusion when she saw me.<\/p>\n<p>You learn to trust your instinct. It&#8217;s a fascinating, different country that stays in your thoughts long after the trip and is a photographers dream!<\/p>\n<p>When I feel unsure about travelling on my own in a\u00a0country, I take a tour. It\u00a0lets me enjoy the experience without the stress\u00a0and builds up my\u00a0confidence for future solo travel.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0video is of Delhi, Varanasi, Orchha, Agra, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur and other small towns. My favourite parts include the chaos and vibrancy of Varanasi, the calm, stunning history of Orchha and the narrow, ancient alleyways of Jaisalmer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Let me know your favourite part in the comments below!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India is the most alive and colourful country I&#8217;ve\u00a0ever visited.
