One girl. One backpack. One world. I was born in Mexico, grew up on a farm in Washington state, studied English Literature at Columbia University in NY and Oxford University in England and currently work as a model, host and writer. And in between it all, I travel the world. This blog is an insight into my own personal journey. A journey that will take me across the world in search of adventure, new friends and... well, myself.

FOR LOVE, OR MONEY?
That has always been the age old question. I have heard- "It is as easy to fall in love with a Rich man as a Poor one, so why create more worries," "If you hang out at the pound long enough, you are bound to fall in love with a mut," and "Be Smart." To which I have always responded, would never choose one over the other but would be nice...
Well, In Agra, India lies a great monument to the testament of both.
Yes, we have all heard the great love story behind the Taj Mahal but to actually witness the magnificence of the structure in person is absolutely breathtaking!
Arrived in Agra after a 20 hour train ride(they said it would be delayed 5 hours, but the Indian meaning of 'delayed' is being on a train that stops in the middle of nowhere for 7 hours!!!). Was exhausted & dirty but opted to go all out for the occasion and put on my bindi & sari-it was only afterwards when a group of helpful Indian women undressed me in public that I discovered my Sari was inside out & Bindi was upside down. oh well, was worth it.

That is a crazy picture Carol! Your outfit is cool though.
I wasn't sure about your quote, "a group of friendly woman undressed me in public." huh? Why were they undressing you in public and why did you think they were friendly for doing so? :)
Heh, we've only got a tiny bit left until we see each other in Seattle! Can't wait. We want to hear all about your experience on the drive over the mountains.
Love Steve.
