Backpacking
around the world is an exhilarating and humbling experience. To witness other
cultures and the beautiful nature that surrounds them often leaves us filled
with gratitude for just how magnificent planet earth is. I unpacked my bag
during a recent trip to India. And although my other pack had the basic clothes
and toiletries essentials, this one was my day-to-day explorer pack. Navigating
the busy streets, meditating each morning, sipping on spicy chai and eating
roasted corn on the cob…I fell in love with the beauty of India and the
spiritual sense all around me. Check out this month’s edition of “What’s in my
Backpack.”
Yoga Mat
Not
only good for that post-flight stretch, but for rolling out anywhere. I prefer
the ultra thing mats for traveling.
The Bhagavad Gita
A
must-read for anyone traveling to India
Great
for sleeping, savasana, and meditation. Easy to roll up, too.
Hat
Don’t
forget sun protection.
Silk Scarf
These
especially come in handy when entering temples. Perfect for around your neck or
over your shoulders. Delicate and light.
Camera
Invest
in a quality camera. Take good care of it and it will last you years to come.
Not everything is best captured on a cell phone.
Tibetan Horn
Because
where else will you find one of these?
Safe
and steady travels. Namaste.
