Some journeys are planned, others just feel meant to be.

Being at the Maha Kumbh Mela around my milestone birthday was truly surreal.

Surrounded by millions of pilgrims and sadhus, I could feel the spiritual energy in the air. And let me tell you, talk about people-watching—this beats any red carpet event hands down!

With an estimated 40 million people on site every day, the energy of the ‘Har Har Mahadev’, chant was palpable!

Taking a dip in the holy river, partaking in a tradition that’s been going strong for centuries, felt like the ultimate moment of reflection and gratitude. And to experience it with my closest friends? An unforgettable blessing and fun!
Truly one for the books.

Creating memories in the shadows of the ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii.

Transported back 2000 years, we pieced together history at the archaeological site of Pompeii. With a third of the city still buried, this ancient wonder remains a mystery. The catastrophic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius has frozen Pompeii in time, bearing witness to the tragic realities of the past.

Despite its melancholy, it is fascinating to uncover how lavish and well-planned Pompeii once was. The city boasted temples, religious buildings, political structures, fountains with elaborate sculptures, and bustling marketplaces.
