I run 2 websites: Rachel's Ruminations (independent travel to historical sites + reviews of hotels, tours, etc.) and World Heritage Net (travel to UNESCO sites). I live in the Netherlands but grew up in the US so I write in English. Travel obsessed.

I love how they decorate their trucks in #India. Photo taken in #Jodhpur.

A pretty 16th-century building called the Goudkantoor.
An 18th-century city hall with pillars in front of the entrance.
A big square with a mix of new and old buildings around its edge.
Home sweet home.
After 2 months of travel, it's great to be back.

You too. I'm gradually moving away from FB too. Just waiting for more people to find their way here.

Yes! So would I! Or one of the fancy luxury trains here in India. But the best trains with the prettiest scenery I've seen so far were in Switzerland.

A narrow shopfront with two men sitting on the floor, the back wall filled with shelves with boxes.
An arched passageway with shops inside it on both sides.
A haveli entrance, several stories tall, with a highly decorated (but faded) entranceway and a rusted vintage car parked next to it.
My husband and I took a cultural tour of #Jaipur, #India last week, #sponsored by Travel XS. Such an interesting city, with its planned old town, tiny shops, and the faded glory of old havelis (former family mansions).

People in uniform walking in neat rows down a wide street.
They were practicing for Republic day in Lucknow today.

One of many pictures I've taken today from the Rhaetian Railway's Bernina Express from Tirano, Italy to Chur, Switzerland. Such a beautiful route and a true "feat of engineering."
