It’s one of those bucket list items for travellers, the Taj Mahal.
So, of course, we were headed to Agra so we could stand in front of this wondrous thing.
I mean, I couldn’t come to India and not see it – right?

India: Bright colours, strong smells, fast-moving traffic, and blindingly obvious stares.
Ah, what a country is India!
Delhi is often the first place visitors to the country visit, and what an introduction to India it is.

Cloudy skies, rainy days, bright green trees, and “thank yous” and “eh’s” left, right and centre – we were definitely in Canada.
It was in Edmonton, our first destination, when I realised the “Canadians are so polite” belief is not a myth – seriously, this nation of people were so lovely.

Looking back on my two months in Latin America, there is just so much happiness that floods through me.
It was such an incredible time – a time of adventure, activity, friendship, and many. many smiles.
As well as my wrap up video above, I thought I’d share some of my favourite photos from my trip.

Rio de Janeiro: Beautiful Brazilian beaches, even more beautiful people, a whole lot of colour and fun.
This wonderful place was the last destination on my two month Latin America trip – and what a place to end.
