MUMBAI, INDIA

It's been more than a month now, and I have to say that I've really been enjoying traveling on my own. At first I wasn't sure I would, but it's turned out to be a much more rewarding and relaxing experience than I expected--even in China and India, which I figured would be the most difficult countries to get around in. Seeing what I want to see at my own pace has been great, and when you're traveling solo it seems like it's much easier to both a) meet new people, and b) disappear into the background. Both can be useful, of course, depending on what you feel like at the time....
