Welcome to On the Road with Tenzin!

Often it's the unknown that creates the biggest barrier to a once-in-a-lifetime mind-opening experience. Here I will share the beauty of India, her gracious people, the inconveniences, how to adapt, interviews with locals, and culture shocks. Why you ask? To help others like myself, a senior solo woman on a fixed income, travel India "safely" on a budget of -$45 per day. I searched YouTube for months and found nothing that fit my scenario.

Here you will learn how my four-month journey unfolds, including; what I packed and why, required documents, vaccines, insurance, businesses I utilized, long-haul flight tips, trains, women-driven Ubers, taxis, tuk-tuks, hotels, restaurants, historical sites, museums, and more. I will include costs and links.

If I get sick you will be with me on how to get medical help and the costs. Also, Hindi phrases you might want to learn.

Embrace the unexpected and be amazed by the wonder of international travel.
