sleeping under the stars - JAISALMER, RAJASTHAN.
As the sun rises again the morning after I was the first one to wake up with the camels. Chilly, peaceful and soft freshness spread out in the air I breathe in. It took me a second or two to realize where I've woken up and just as I did a big smile appeared on my lips.
desert life - JAISALMER, RAJASTHAN.
- Continuing the long walk in the desert I got filled up with lovely meetings with locals, wild camel men who didn't know how to write or read, stories of the desert and discovering the desert villages and their breathtaking history.
village visit - JAISALMER, RAJASTHAN.
- Oh how I've been longing for a little adventure in the desert near Pakistan. Days without any electricity, wifi, mobiles or anything. Only what's pure made at the moment but us and mother nature. How amazing isn't it?
I left the city to get out in the desert. Dromedary camels, soft sun, the smell of the sand and these beautiful creatures were my daily caffeine.
the city of desert - JAISALMER, RAJASTHAN.
night rides to new places - JAISELMER, RAJASTHAN.
- The night came. I was ready for the new places to explore. Driving away in a night bus, leaving Udaipur behind and all new local friends I made. But there was only one thing in my mind. Don't look back, new doors are opening for you. All you need is a open heart, mind and soul. And so I went.
Towards the desert city..
Towards the desert city..
exploring the lakes - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN.
He showed me some of mother natures work and led me to another soul.
Another stranger with another heart to open up.
To show me everything he knew and to let me in to the most important things in his life.
I ask myself everyday why not everyone is like that.
I know I'm one of those who's not like that, yet.
But I learn everyday more and more. In the future my heart will be as open as his.
the one and only rooftop pool - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN.
- One day I gazed out from the rooftop of the hostel I was staying in (Zostel) in Udaipur and discovered a rooftop pool. I walked down the small lanes lear the lake to find it and there it was.
The only rooftop pool in Udaipur and with this amazing view. I could stay there for ever... Days when it was super hot and I felt like enjoy myself a bit more I went to the hotel, paid 200 rupees and could hang out there how long I wanted. There a bit of wifi too.

After hanging out with the owner I realized that this wasn't only the only hotel with rooftop pool, but also one of the places where the movie "The Marigold Hotel" was made. A american comedy about India and it's beauty. One of the inspiration to my adventure in this grand country.
small lanes of life & history - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN.
- Small cozy lanes, history on ever inch, lights, colors and smells. Lakes surrounded by the Rajasthani life. Udaipur definitely gave my heart a double jump at first sight.
my words from the gardens - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN.
- Udaipur,
Close to the water but far from the bay.
The gardens took my breath away.
The sunset made my eyes glitter.
The mind titter.
The flowers filled my heart.
And the city filled my soul.
A place to let go of the control.
exploring the tops - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN.
- Adventure and exploring with a big hearted indian friend. He showed me it all and gave me more than I could dream of. Days flew away under the Rajasthani sun...
arriving in the royal magic of Rajashtan - UDAIPUR, RAJASTHAN.
- Arriving in the most magical city as the train entered Rajasthan. Beauty in every way and it's only the beginning. Udaipur, you're royal fine thing.
oh holy town - UJJAIN, MADHYA PRADESH.
Sometimes the most random places ends up being one of the best ones.
the town with the answers - UJJAIN, MADHYA PRADESH.
Ujjain, you made my heart and soul take a step up to a higher level of consciousness and understanding.
Your energy helped me to understand some of the biggest question I've had in life.
Namasté beautiful place.
free from work - SURAT, GUJARAT.
Oh what a amazing experience. Thank you to every single person who shared some fun moments with me during these days.
TRY TO COUNT ON ME.
- Hello folks. I'm back from one of many breaks. Enjoying traveling without a laptop (& mine is a bit broken)so I just use the phone when I need. But now I'm back in Sweden after my last adventure. Lived in Poland for 7 weeks at my family's place and did some weekend backpacking around the country as soon as I got the opportunity.
Anyway, I'm here to update you with inspiration and travel photos. So here it now starts again!
Love & light,
