I have mixed emotions as I patiently wait in the Denver airport. Plane for Newark leaves in one hour and I feel like I will finally be on my way once I start making my way east. I'm very excited for what is to come, but also have this unnerving feeling I am going to be very uncomfortable in a matter of hours. Unfamiliarity scares me, and the many suggestions for women to not travel alone in India are also making me quite nervous. However, I am about to embark on a life-changing journey, and I am trying my hardest to prepare for that. Is there even a way to prepare? I have been planning for this trip for months now and after the endless reading and trips to Target I know that I just have to be happy with the information and supplies I have and go for it.
I will be arriving at Navdanya, the farm I will be on for the majority of time I am in India, on Friday afternoon. This is the link to their website: http://www.navdanya.org/earth-university/volunteers.
I will continue to write more about my project as I am introduced to the work on the farm and learn more about the dynamics within the local community. I have had the opportunity to talk with many of my friends who have been to India and greatly appreciate all of their advice, but also look forward to my own adventure. Namaste!
