It has now been a month since I left London to start this adventure and what a month it’s been! It actually feels like a lot longer! I think its because of how much I’ve experienced in that time, its been pretty amazing! I love it here in India, I definitely want to come back one day. Looking back to my 1st day here, being lost in Mumbai airport about to miss my flight and wondering why I ever thought this was a good idea, I’ve come a long way! I have already seen some change in myself. Just being able to embrace new things instead of being scared of it. Back in London, I would have been terrified at the idea of turning up somewhere on my own where I didn’t know anyone! I liked nothing more than staying in my comfort zone. But now here I am on the other side of the world in such a different country experiencing such a different culture and environment, living in a house with 30 people I’d never met before and I’m loving it! The project here is going well, and we are seeing improvement with the girls we’re working with. I do still miss my girls in the slums in Goa though. I think about them and wonder how they’re getting on. Strangely, I haven’t really been homesick here yet. I definitely thought I would be. I think maybe because I’m always surrounded by people and always busy, either working, exploring the area, or hanging out with the people in the house here, I haven’t really had time to think about my life back home. I’m definitely looking forward to 5 more months of this!
