Come with me on this little (well, 17 minutes) video of my time in Kazakhstan, entitled ‘Curious Kazakhstan’. It’s been a while since I posted on Central Asia, but I still look at it very fondly. It’s one of the most rewarding places a solo backpacker can head in my opinion. In this city you’ll …
Ahhh I had had a wonderful time in Agra, seeing the Taj Mahal, making friends and catching my first ever Bollywood film, and the ups and downs of my first visit to India seemed like they were ending on the up part. I had to get back to Delhi where I would spend a couple …
