Hi! I’m Amanda. I love to walk and talk! I hope you enjoy my adventure vlogs and travel videos.
About me: I find it hard to sit still, enjoy learning about new cultures, love meeting new people and hearing different stories and have been travelling for 2 decades (but only recently started documenting them). I believe in looking for the good and try to remain happy where possible, with a small dose of realism. I love to find meaningful connections with people I meet. I am very happy when exploring remote 'corners' of the world (sorry Columbus).

Tour india not safe for women careful... there very common rape foreigner
1000% not safe india
Sorry to hear about your bad experience and happy to hear that you had some good experiences as well.
Thank you so much. India has so much to offer and I'm glad to have seen some of its beauty ☺️
I have a lot of friends who travel around the world. Most of my female friends and cousins who have traveled around India, especially in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Delhi, shared the same thoughts with me. “Female travelers should never travel solo there under any circumstances.” 💀💀 First, they politely ask you to take pictures even if you say no, they invade your personal space, try to put their arms around you forcefully and that’s when the groping starts. Trust me, help is hard to come by unless you’re incredibly lucky. So, to any female travelers considering a trip to India, please travel in groups with male friends or family for your safety!
Thank you for your insights and advice. I agree that unfortunately it is safer to travel in groups or with males.
You have such a beautiful smile it brightens up the whole frame. If you looped your smile for the entire 26:57 minutes of the video, I'd still watch it without skipping a beat. ❤ I wish you all the happiness you deserve, and I hope you come back to Sri Lanka in the future. Cheers! 🤟
Thank you so much for this lovely comment! Actually I just said the other day - I wish to go back to Sri Lanka!! 🇱🇰😍
Your smile lovely ❤❤❤thank you visit my home land
Thank you for your lovely comment. Sri Lanka is so beautiful 🙏
Im really proud to be srilanka
You are so blessed to be Sri Lankan. Sri Lanka is so beautiful ☺️🙏
White girls with blonde hair means angels from fairy tales for us. Its common to see people who look like you in your countries but in India we dont have people like you. So its like you are celebrity to us. Some white girls who have black hair passed as light skinned indians, they may get less attention
So well captured I could almost feel the clean air coming my way... Amazing photography, amazing video. Thanks for taking us along in your journey.
Thanks Christiana! Yes there is definitely a lot of clean air in Tassie! Thank you for your kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏼
Travelling solo for women in India can be really safe: if you are really really ugly.
Well come to Sri Lanka

Really it's very beautiful places.you are very lucky to visit amazing place
Thank you. We felt very fortunate to have the privilege to see Sri Lanka 🙏🏼 It is so beautiful.

I am from jaipur. But i still need that guide because I feel like she knows some great places to eat😂
She is fabulous!! 😃
What about those indian men and women who come alone to Australia Women getting raped Acid attack on men U need to say about both the things.. Why everytime a foreigner comes and highlights this issue.. The comment section would have been entirely different... If there was brown person saying this in Australia.. ..and we indians are fools Trying to be godly with u Nobody knows how the west is still ruling over us till date .. Women are unsafe on roads due to our culture being uprooted by ur so called "lord macaulay"
Miss you and love you Warnie!!! ♥️
Me too ☺️🙏

Hi Amanda, Great videos of your India Trip. Love them. My wife and I are travelling to India in 3 weeks for the first time. We’ll be spending 25 nights in the north visiting Golden Triangle as well as Udaipur, Amritsar and Varanasi. Our first 3 nights will be at the Leela Palace. It looks amazing. Can’t wait.
Hi Lou! Thanks so much for your message and kind words. I hope you both have a wonderful time in India. I wish I had longer to see Udaipur and Varanasi as well... and Kerala and the south! It's such a big country and I had some time limitations but would be great to see more of it one day. Leela Palace is just incredible and I'm sure you'll love it. Might be good to book ahead for the 2 main restaurants if you want to eat there as they can get quite busy (although they try to prioritise hotel guests). Have a wonderful time! 🙏
Moving there at the end of this year, thanks for this video!
My pleasure! I hope you enjoy it there - it's a fun vibrant town! 😃
Can you share the tour that accompany you during this travel..I’m gonna visit India but lost idea
Hi! I booked through Tour Radar and the tour was called '5 Days Private Golden Triangle India tour from New Delhi'. The local coordinator was called Aahil. His whatsapp is +91 88598 88991. He was brilliant.
F that tour guide and his accomplice, he will get his karma
India being unsafe for women is blown out of proportion by western media.. bad incidents happen in other tourist countries and it doesn't get much attention in the news at all!! In India, we take these incidents very strongly therefore foreign media jumps in for profits. Recently, an Indian tourist was shot dead in Thailand but no one cared! There are other crimes towards women in that country and no one cares. The fact that you (& others) were so scared to come here makes me sad and embarrassed. I'm not denying our internal problems. We also face issues with these travel planners as it can be a hit or miss. Hidden costs are kinda expected. Don't give tip if u don't want, state things clearly in "parent mode" or they won't listen... this is what we do. We faced similar issues on our trip to nepal. Going solo is ofcourse more difficult. More power to you❣
Hi, thanks for taking the time to leave this comment. Tips were very much expected of me (and aggressively so... I didn't feel the option of not tipping would have been tolerated) and I was deliberately not taken to the last location on one of my day trips because the guide knew how much cash I had left and for me to buy an entry ticket would have come out of his tip. Knowing things like the hidden costs and also what tone of voice to speak in isn't necessarily known by all travellers so that's helpful to hear from you. Thanks for your input and advice.
We Indians are doing absolutely gr8 without you , no need to come , in short FO 🤣
Shukar hai koi toh asli Bharatiya hai..
Come in Kota, Rajasthan next time. We'll welcome you.... Lots of love from India
Thank you so much. I will add it to the bucket list! 🙏

Hey, we are heading to Sri Lanka in march. I would be interested to know how much you paid for a driver for 2 weeks and where we start to look for one? Thank you
Hi Nicole! Thanks for the comment! I'm sure you are going to love Sri Lanka! For our trip, we liaised with the manager of Taxi Ceylon/Sheema Travels called Ameen. The whatsapp number was +94768109510. He is wonderful and very responsive and arranged our driver for us. Our driver was reliable and was called Mr Ajantha Herath. His number is +94777829380. Cost varies significantly by how much you plan to travel each day and in what type of car. It's probably best to reach out to the driver in the first instance - we found his prices very competitive with other drivers. Hope this helps! 😃
Here are few advices for all the foreign women travellers who wants to do solo in India.Avoid North-Western,Northern and Eastern India at all costs.Even average Indians find these places challenging.But NE India and Southern India are definitely much safer.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Hey, did I hear you saying this Mughal era was prosperous and great for Bharat/India. I strongly disagree - It was the era of genocide, attempts to destroy a religion that is Hinduism and an era that pushed us back to the depths we haven't been able to recover. [The british completed what these invaders started]. Anyway, I can understand you have to be nice to everyone and this matter does not pertain to you. Anyway best wishes !
Hi! Thanks for the well wishes and informative comment. It was a tour guide who had made this comment to me about the Mughal era.
@@TheLensCapChronicles Thank you for the reply. Well there is a woke India and a right wing [Like me lol] so the guide may be a liberal/woke ! Anyway your videos are great, and I wish you the best. Let me know if you visit Canda.
