Some of you will remember me from my travel posts last year. I spent the early part of 2015 venturing around India and South East Asia with my boyfriend and had the time of my life. Having been home exactly a year this month, I have had time to reflect on my trip and one...Read More
Choosing to travel with my boyfriend was an easy decision for me. Why wouldn’t I want to experience all the world has to offer with the person I love most in this world? It was simple for me, I didn’t want to have the experience at all if it wasn’t going to be with him....Read More
The Taj Mahal is regarded as one of the eight wonders of the world, and some Western historians have noted that its architectural beauty has yet to be surpassed to this day. ‘Taj Mahal’, which literally means ‘crown of palaces,’ is taken from Persian and Arabic languages and truly lives up to its grand name.
