What's your favorite travel memory?

I’m not a fan of road tripping.  I got car sick as a child so I’ve never been fond of long stints in the car.  For spring break one year in India, I traveled the Golden Triangle in India by car and had the best time ever.  A week on Indian roads cured me of my aversion to car trips and I saw the most amazing sites, met awesome people, and ate delicious food.

Be open to opportunities.  If you’re flexible, you never know where your adventure will lead you.
