My journey in India starts with a lot of noise, love, comfort, family but I venture on to Osho where I plan to take a journey inside and be still and at peace :)

Peru...I feel it´s spirit! I dont know why but Peru has really got under my skin. I enjoy everything about it...the chaotic traffic in the city, the coco leaf chewing people on the street with their green tinted teeth smiling at you, the majestic mountains, the spirituality! I love this country and am feeling it in my blood that I am going to come back for a visit very soon. I would´ve liked to stay and go into the jungle for a few weeks. Maybe try a bit of Ayahuasca. For those of you who dont know what Ayahuasca is, its supposed to be a hallucinogenic plant that is given by shamans to people who like to delve deep into their psyche. I have discovered the term ¨psychonaut¨and I think its quite apt. I had been thinking about doing this since I first heard about it in Vancouver. But since my arrival to South America, I had been thinking about it non stop until I met Brett. Brett, being the wise man that he is, told me a bit more about the ¨drug¨! Seems like it strips away layers of your ego and you come eye to eye with the real you, along with all the fears you might hold. I decided to hold off for the time being coz I dont know what I might find. But then in Peru, my tour leader, Geraldine, told me about the time she did it and how amazing it was for her and how it totally helped her get all the answers she was looking for. She also gave me a wonderful book on it that I devoured in one sitting. I loved everything about it...the fact that you do it in the jungle, in a natural environment, with real ayahuscerios! I almost decide to go do it but Sponge bob made me change my mind. I agree with her that I should go with someone I know..in case I trip out real bad. At the moment, meditation is calling me, Osho is speaking out to me and I am really excited about it. But I think, I will come back to Peru very soon. I would like to do two things when I come back. One is to go on the Inca trail with someone I love. I think its absolutely the most romantic, the most spiritual thing a couple can do together. And, secondly, I would like to go to the jungle and do drugs with this person.

Only 4 more days till this part of my tour ends. I fly out of Lima to Quito on Jan 14th. I´ll be in QUito, Ecuador for 2 days by myself. Then, off to Galapagoz islands for 10 days. Then on the 27th, I fly to India. I cant wait to get there....to see the faces of people that I love and who love me. All I am gonna do for 10 days in Jalandhar, where my granny lives, is to eat home cooked food, put oil in my hair, watch bollywood movies, play with babies! I am so gonna love every minute of it. Just fill my heart with unconditional love .... so simple and so fulfilling!
