I spent a month travelling through India and Nepal in January last year with my gorgeous and mischievousness friend Anne. It was a sensually indulgent trip, that’s for sure.
It was like life itself was playing a heady, frantic tune in my ears with the overriding drone of horns marking beats. I got dizzy trying to inhale the layers of life that unfolded before me.
