After two and a half weeks travelling we were pretty tired. During the tour we cover a LOT of miles and visited MANY projects and farmers. Our stay in Delhi was more about taking our time doing things, but still to arrange/book things in this country is not that easy! Maybe we’re spoiled over here with telephone and online booking, but sometimes having to finding things are not open/not working when you get there is annoying.

India is one of those places that when you are there you are a bit stressed out by the noise, the smell and the overwhelmingly crowd everywhere. But when you are back home you’re planning when to go back – in other words all the niggles disappears from you memory and you only remember the many positives. This is also reflected in the number of Westerns going back more than once and even living over there. We do not make exception to this and we’re already thinking about our next visit, maybe this time travelling the south and the east of the country.

India is a special country, visit it if you haven’t done it yet – you won’t be disappointed.

Fairtrade is the most powerful tool that consumers around the world have to change for the better trade practices. By buying Fairtrade product you really make a difference in the life of the producers – we witnessed it first hand. BUY FAIRTRADE

Organic is again a choice that you can make in order to achieve two goals. The first is to consume or wear products that haven’t been chemically fertilised hence healthier. Additionally the Organic standard takes care of our eco-system – by phasing out the use of aggressive pesticide and mass scale production it promotes the natural and sustainable development of the world’s flora and fauna. GO ORGANIC

PS: getting used to the normal routine was a nightmare. It took us about a week to recover from jet lag (very bad) and temperature difference (about 20.C !).

PPS: as every spring I am very upbeat at the moment with a lot of activities planned … stay tuned!
