Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog!

As I said some time ago, I would like to publish a new post every week until all the remaining posts I have are published. However, last week I was not at home and I couldn't publish anything.

Today, I would like to say some things about Lepakshi, a town we visted right after Penukonda and in which we found - no offence to Hampi - one of the most extraordinary temples I have seen so far. This temple is called Veerabhadra Temple and it was built in the 16th century. One of the most relevant traits of this temple are the fresco paintings that can still be seen inside. Said paintings represent scenes from Rama and Krishna, two of the most well-known Hindu gods.

India as a female solo traveller

India as a female solo traveller.

Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog!

As many of you already know by now, I spent a year and a half of my life living in India, first volunteering and then working there as a teacher.

When I first moved to India, I had as many doubts as any of you may probably have right now, especially since it is considered an unsafe country for females travelling alone. So the basic question that I’d like to tackle in this post is whether India is a safe country for female solo travellers or not. In the list of tips that I published some time ago, there are already some points directed to females, but this one is all about us, ladies!
