The Sound of Silence in Kerala’s Backwaters

by Runaway Brit 18 Comments on The Sound of Silence in Kerala’s Backwaters

Having lived in Asia for 6 years of my life, I am pretty immune to noise by now. I can sleep through the loudest thunderstorm. In fact, I like hearing early morning church bells or the Call to Prayer, and …

Real Marigold Hotel, Jaipur

Khatu Haveli – Staying at The REAL Marigold Hotel

by Runaway Brit 24 Comments on Khatu Haveli – Staying at The REAL Marigold Hotel

When I retire I’m going to settle in a place where the sun is always shining and the drinks are cheap; so watching Judy Dench browsing colourful markets in the movie, ‘Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’, made me wonder whether India …

Memories: Two Years in India (Part 3)

by Runaway Brit 21 Comments on Memories: Two Years in India (Part 3)

I left India yesterday and have some emotions to deal with. You will hear many things about India, such as how you will both love and hate it at the same time, that you get out of it what you …

Memories: Two Years in India (Part 2)

by Runaway Brit Leave a Comment on Memories: Two Years in India (Part 2)

Memories: Two Years in India (Part 1)

by Runaway Brit 25 Comments on Memories: Two Years in India (Part 1)

by Runaway Brit 21 Comments on A Weekend in India’s Wine Region

Last weekend was one of those times when I simply had to get out of Mumbai and, luckily for me, the weekend happened to be the Cheti Chand (Sindhi New Year) holiday, which gave me the Friday off work. So, …

Meet Arrowhead: Queen of Ranthambhore National Park

by Runaway Brit 5 Comments on Meet Arrowhead: Queen of Ranthambhore National Park

I have done many amazing things during my time in India but seeing a tiger in the wild is definitely a highlight. Nothing sends shivers down the spine quite like the striking flash of orange emerging from the dense verdant …

Glamping at Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve

by Runaway Brit 2 Comments on Glamping at Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve

We arrived in Ranthambhore after a bumpy 3-hour drive from Jaipur airport, 160km away. The sun had set long before our GPS directions led us into a desolate area of scrub wilderness – pitch black and vast – unhelpfully telling …

Perspectives: Why Single Indian Women Should Travel to Thailand

by Runaway Brit 7 Comments on Perspectives: Why Single Indian Women Should Travel to Thailand

Having been living and travelling overseas for, gulp, about 13 years now, I have met many people from many different places, all with great tales to tell. I have often thought of inviting them to share their perspective on RunawayBrit, …

Kare Ayurveda Retreat: Eat, Stretch, Love

by Runaway Brit 3 Comments on Kare Ayurveda Retreat: Eat, Stretch, Love

Life in Mumbai can get pretty chaotic: it’s a big city, filled with—literally—millions of people. Like Raj says in ‘Big Bang Theory’: ‘it’s hot, and it’s loud, and there are so many people! You have no idea—they’re everywhere’.

5 Reasons to Visit Shimla

by Runaway Brit 5 Comments on 5 Reasons to Visit Shimla
