Hello hello!
It’s that glittering time of year when we’re floating between the ghostly fun of Halloween and the radiant lights of Diwali.
Happy Diwali!
To everyone celebrating Diwali, may your days be as bright as your holiday snacks are sweet. Here’s to lighting up the dark nights with family and friends.
And for your bookshelf? Check out Journey through Southern India, where Diwali celebrations come to life alongside a landscape packed with temples and traditions.
Halloween
And as for Halloween, it seems about the right time to release our video about travel mistakes. They are our version of spooky surprises—whether it’s the creepy hostel you thought was a “boutique guesthouse” or that moment when a passerby handed you a machete for the night.
If you’re looking for a little dark humour with your next read, Irresponsible Traveller and Beastly Journeys serve up more stories of where plans go awry in the most entertaining way.
Cheers, Abi
