Today I want to introduce to you Andrea (pictured). Andrea has kindly shared her experience of getting allergies in India and what it was like to go to an emergency room at a hospital in Hyderabad on her recent business trip.
Below is Andrea’s firsthand account in her own words:
I’m a fairly seasoned international traveler; so when I headed to India for 9 weeks armed with travel tips generously provided by Asher, I felt confident I was prepared. You know when you think that, you’re in for something special! Read More
“If you can’t afford travel insurance then you can’t afford to travel…”
I didn’t really understand her at first, but then I did the math and realized if something went wrong on my trip I’d be f#@*ed… When I considered paying the relatively tiny fee to get full coverage compared to the total trip cost, her statement totally made sense.
Fellow travel blogger, Nomadic Matt, also says it well:

A quick “worst case” story:

When the snow is blowing and the temps drop below freezing, it’s time to start looking for a tropical getaway.
What better country to visit this winter than beautiful India: warm, affordable, visceral, and full of adventures and treasures that you’re sure to never forget.

The Indian airports range from new, luxury, state-of-the-art airports (in places like, New Delhi and Mumbai), to rural, ex-military bases converted into “airport sheds” (in places like Jabalpur & Tirupati). Below I explain all the nuisances to watch out for because they’re quite different from any Western airport I’ve ever been.

News headlines have repeatedly reported that it may not be safe for women to travel in India. As a result, I have heard that many women have decided not to go to India.

Rohini was born in India but has lived in the West on and off since she was 4 years old. She is currently based in Boulder, Colorado. Read More
After living in India for a while, it becomes apparent that scams are everywhere. Although, in my experience they are the most common in big cities such as New Delhi and Mumbai.
