My first trip to India

My first big travel trip outside of Europe was to India, and I still remember the day I arrived in Mumbai (Bombay then). On the taxi ride from the airport, I looked my eyes out, everything was colorful, everything was foreign. And it stayed that way, I could never get over how colorful India really was.

I'm not sure if it made such a big impression on me because it was my first big trip, or because India really is that intense, I guess a bit of both.

What was your first visit to India like?

I didn´t travel to India yet, but someday my wish will be come true, but before that I would like to know someone living there in order to receive over there.

I hadn´t slept in like 30 hours when I got to Bombay, changed airports and tried to get a flight to Goa. Because I paid in dollars they bumped some Indian off his flight and I went. I just remember that I kept waking up in a bus traveling through Goa, looking out the window, palm trees everywhere, it looked like paradise to me. That was about 20 years ago.

I haven't had the glory to travel to India, but that is one of the places I would love to go to.
