fliesonabanana asked: what about the cats?
oh my cats…i miss them :(
My lovely friend Moones took these photos of me for her wedding dress series…I am sure it is the first and last time I will ever be in a dress like this :) We took them in town, on the bus, in the bazaar, in the yard….

I left Mysore about a week ago. My plan is return there in some months and get an apartment and settle in a little bit.
In the meantime I am in Sri Lanka to change my visa over to a student visa and hang out on the beach, go to vipassana, and back to India to stay at an ashram.
These are some “left over” photos from Mysore :)

caitlindeane asked: Been following your blog for awhile now, and I cannot express enough happiness in seeing you embrace new journeys. I'm finishing school soon and hitting the road to the American Southwest/west coast as soon as possible from the east coast area. I'm excited and nervous about taking this leap of faith. Any advice for traveling by car and/or traveling in general? Also any insight into where I could find a cute pair of those flowy pants you've been sporting? ;) Peace, Blessings, and Namaste.
oh, the flowy pants…its a skirt! passed onto me by a friend (i think she bought it in London?) this is of course no help at all!
as for the travel advise??? use your instincts, be open, try not to worry about your vehicle too much but also tell her that you love her for taking you to exciting places. if you pick-up hippies…they are generally dirty hahaha, but make up for it in their adventurous spirit. also, be cautious of bladder infections ;)
all the best and a million namastes, christine
Anonymous asked: Waiting on an update and some new pictures please
life in general has taken over. I will make some proper updates when I get to Sri Lanka and have nothing to do except hang out on the beach and wait for my Indian visa to be renewed :)
Kitties that love silky tags…they have my heart :)
YOGA STOPS TRAFFICK…
YOGA STOPS TRAFFICK is a one-day global yoga event created to raise awareness and funds for Indian anti-trafficking organisation Odanadi Seva Trust.
“ONE DAY, ONE VOICE is our ethos. March 12th 2011 saw our 2nd annual event, it was led by a group of young Odanadi residents from the entrance gates of the iconic Mysore Palace – many of whom are survivors of slavery, domestic abuse and forced prostitution. Through the common language of yoga, 3,000 people around the world rolled out their mats in homes, beaches and mountaintops on the same day, in support of Odanadi’s work.”
Ashly & Sarah, looking fabulous :)
looky, it’s me hahah…..
The Odanadi Seva Trust is the orphanage we spent some time at some months back, posted about here

Anonymous asked: A bit of advice? I'm looking for hiking boots for a lady friend. That part your tumblr/life was a while back, but could you offer a chap any advice? I love my Mountain Light boots but that be overkill for a woman new to it all. - K
Umm, I’m sorry but I really can’t help. I owned the same shoes for over 10 years until they fell apart on me in the Grand Canyon…and I bought them in Switzerland.
Best of luck
Ps. Hiking boots are a very unromantic gift ;)
