My Journey To India Essay

Throughout my life, I went to many places whether it is from traveling to

the different country or traveling to states, but the journey that stood out the most was my

journey to India. For me, this journey stood out a lot because I traveled out of the country. My

experience in India was something that I will never forget because it taught me the reality of the

world we are living in and it opened my eye to how big the world really is. This journey started

ten years ago when I was just eight years old when I was going to India the second time, the first

being when I was just two years old. I was coming back from school and I heard my mother was

talking to someone on the phone about going to a vacation. I had an idea of what

Then, my mother told me that we were going to India and I was

excited because the last time I went there I was only two years old, so I didn’t remember a lot of

what happened when I was in India. So, a week passed, it was the beginning of Christmas break

and me, my sister, and my mother was packing to go to India. We went to the airport and took

the international flight to India, this is where my adventure was begun.

A couple of days have passed and we arrived at the India airport, I was happy that long flight

plane. When I came out of the plane I met my family from India it was a touching reunion, we

were getting to know each other. The family member I began to talk to was my cousin it started

off as introducing each other, then it went to talking about soccer. After I talked with my

The food we have was a traditional Indian food, like samosa and Pani puri. The food was

delicious it had that traditional Indian taste to me the food in India was much better than the food

in Atlanta. After, I finish eating I went outside with my mother and she showed me around the

area where my grandmother lives and it does not many houses and store, but no restaurant at all.

It was so different because this is not how the life in Atlanta is like, the expectation in India is

shown to be different than Atlanta. The life in India was a little different when I went to the area

where my grandmother lived because kids were able to go anywhere they want and the parents

would be too busy. At the moment I didn’t realize what was going on, instead, I was to

focus on going to places popular in India.

The next day, I took a tour to Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, which is a state in

India. First, we went to Ahmedabad a popular city in Gujarat, where my family comes from.

There I went to Gujarat zoo, it had many different types of animal, that the Atlanta zoo does not

have. During, my time at the zoo I was able to touch many animals and we took many
