While he is in India I write about why I didn't go, and anything else that crosses my mind as a twenty-eight year old. Depending on how this works out, I might keep writing when he gets back.
A couple of posts back I mentioned living on the side of a mountain in a tent on the island of Corsica for some weeks over the summer. This wasn't glamping or even what you might call prepared camping - we did this in the most basic way possible. When I look back at the … Continue reading Why Living In A Tent is What I Recommend For Your Summer.
Today my boyfriend came out of his introduction to Buddhism course and posed that very question: what have you done for the last ten days? My answers didn't sound very impressive.
