I will make the world my oyster

My name is Ruby Alice, 20, and this, I suppose, is my attempt at travel/culture/language writing. I was born in Wales, into a crazy nomadic family, turned 2 in England, spent 7 years in Ecuador, South America and have settled (for now) at University in Edinburgh, Scotland studying languages. I can't really describe how much I love the buzz of other countries and cultures; it's not about holidaying or sight-seeing, it is so much more than that. It's the sounds and smells and colours. Knowledge, understanding, respect. Eye and mind-opening. And once you've been bitten by the bug, it's the greatest, most natural, high you'll ever experience. I just want to share my adventures with the world.

So, I was watching Idiot Abroad last night and, although I know he’s perhaps not the best person to be culturally inspired by, it  showed the Kumbh Mela festival in India. One of the biggest religious festivals on earth; 2 million pilgrims. Now a lifetime dream.
