It's been almost a week since I've left India and came back to NYC. It's not really possible to summarize my trip in a few sentences, yet I keep trying to do that over the last few days. When I tell people that I spent four weeks in northern India, people want details. And although I can tell them about amazing views of the Himalayas, beautiful Buddhist monasteries, and rides on local buses, none of those things really capture what made the trip so wonderful.
Good trips are more than the sum of the things you do. There was something special about this trip in the way that I was able to truly get out of my NYC bubble and find a place where I was so mentally and spiritually at ease. I keep thinking about how I can keep that feeling here in NYC. If anything, I don't want to switch gears now that I'm back in NYC. I want to stay in the same mental place I was in Ladakh even if I'm 8,000 miles away. Now the challenge begins....
