5 reasons to visit INDIA

hi everyone!

Recently i went on a trip to India on an exchange trip which is why i haven't been able to blog at all but it was one of the best experiences ever and the country is just extraordinary. I feel so lucky to have been able to embark on the adventure with people who are now great friends of mine, so i desperately wanted to share my experience with you guys.

Within my group we traveled across northern India across the rough roads in a small yellow mini bus  which took us everywhere and we stayed in a boarding school just north of Delhi with our exchange students.

Anyway cutting to the chase here are 5 reasons why India should be on your list of places to go!

1. The People
    Throughout the trip i noticed everyone was so friendly and gave us the warmest welcome possible even though lots of people asked for your photo and treated you like a celebrity (which we all enjoyed)

2. The Weather
    If your someone who likes all kinds of weather, India is the place for you. From 30+ degrees to only 10 degrees India had it all.
One day we had the contrast of the heat outside yet hail!

3. The wild life

    Across the country there are all sorts of creatures freely roaming around every where. From Cows, to ADORABLE chipmunks (yep, that cute) to monkeys there is always something there.

4. The Culture

   Okay so this may sound super geeky and all that but India is such an interesting place with temples dotted all over the place. But not only temples give an element of fascinating culture. Almost everything from the family orientated way of life to the religion all add to this culture often expressed in world famous monuments such as the Taj Mahal to ceremony's at the river Ganges.

5. The excitement

   I don't really know how to back this up, the contrast of India to England is insane and like a whole new world. There is a new level to everything you do with so much freedom, its so chaotic yet so peaceful.

sorry this isn't my usual kind of post but i really wanted to share this with everyone and i hope you enjoyed it.

Lots of love

my life... right..?

I think I've always tried to look at my life this way, I remember when i was about 7 years old and I told my family i wanted to be a princess (obviously i later realized this was never going to happen) but for a few weeks i had this obsession, i would dress like one constantly and speak with a posh accent as if to make myself more convincing as the princess i so badly wanted to be.

A few weeks later, at an after school club this girl came up and told me that i couldn't be a princess because i wasn't good enough, so i went home to my parents and asked them why.

They then explained the situation in hand and i soon stopped acting like a princess with a wonky tiara.

The point is that when i was thinking about that story it made me think about the way i live my life, the way i change because someone tells me its not going to happen; but its my life so surely i should be the adjudicator of what i do... right?

By no means is this being selfish or self obsessed but after all, you do only get one life so i would have thought the best way to live it is by doing it how you want to with your own style as long as it isn't hurting anyone else. So YOLO right?

(yes i did just say yolo haha)

just thought i'd put that out there.

brb thinking

So i have spent a while recently just pondering.

Not even about things that would really effect me but i get into this state, this mindset where i think:

"what even am i"

so after weeks of replaying this horrifying image in my head of my life being screwed because i i may have not tried that hard on something and then realized i had the potential; i have finally stopped thinking, and started doing!

I have to admit, things are working out pretty good surprisingly. I'm enjoying that satisfying feeling of when you finally do something you have wanted to do for ages but "you've been too busy to book the tickets" or "it might not even have been that good anyway" 's.

I already have so much planned for the year that i can't wait to happen but at the same time i'm trying to make sure i enjoy everyday to its potential, because there is that potential and if you want to do something you should do it because chances are, you'll have an amazing time doing it!

Anyway, stay brave, be confident and have fun!

Lots of love

Basically...welcome!

HI!

So if you've been following my blogger account, you'll know i already have another blog on the go which is very beauty and fashion orientated so i wanted something a bit different where i had more freedom to post about what I wanted.

So here it is! *crowed cheers*

Anyway, away from the awkward silence of no crowed cheering for me in my bedroom as i write this up, here is to basicallyash!

Enjoy
