Traveling, Living, and Shopping India
Congratulations!!! You found me!  I want this website to be your information highway to traveling, living, and shopping in India. Everything you read and see will be my personal opinion and my own photography. I’m going to make recommendations and referrals of people and businesses that I am familiar with. They have earned my trust, and I believe they will earn yours.

I am American, and America is finally becoming aware of India. You could say that we are on the opposite side of the globe from India, and not just geographically. Our social systems, economic systems, and value systems are different—not better, not worse—just different. I want to prepare you for some of these differences, so that you can travel, live, and shop in India with more confidence and pleasure.

Travel to India


Travel in India Learn how to travel in India...easy, safe, comfortable, and affordable. Here I will recommend the best way to travel, and even where to travel.
Shop in India


Shopping in India describes some of the manufacturers and shops that I have done business with or have personally visited. I will describe each one and include a link to their websites if they have one. Everyone speaks English, albeit India style, so language is not a barrier. Moving money to and around India is also discussed. I include information on what to expect with shipping and customs.
Live in India


Living in India will be discuss living in Goa, that state of India which is located on the west coast, south of Mumbai, that was colonized by the Portuguese for almost 400 years. It is the most westernized of all of India, and the easiest for Westerners to live in. There are lots of small towns in Goa, and lots of beaches. Many retired Brits own homes here, and live here most of the year. Most visitors to Goa are British, Europeans, and Russians, newly arrived on the tourist scene. I will recommend some rental agents for a holiday visit.

Kashmir Slide Show


My Kashmir Slide Show. Great photos of Kashmir. Here are some photos of Kashmir, on Dal Lake, in the Himalayas, in the villages, in Srinagar, during winter and summer. The people are beautiful, and the place is beautiful. Now's the time to re-discover Kashmir. The war is over, tourism is booming. Read about Kashmiri handicrafts, houseboats on Dal Lake, Leh-Ladakh, mountain trekking and water trekking, and how to shop in Kashmir. A little preparation will make your visit more enjoyable.
