Nalanda University Revived After 800 Years

If Xuan Zang, the 7th-century-ce Chinese traveler, and Buddhist scholar, were to visit his beloved alma mater at Nalanda University in the current-day state of Bihar, he’d find only a portion of its ruins accessible and excavated. Viewing the exposed brick structures, he would have memories of how they were once pristinely lime-plastered. He would […] The post Nalanda University Revived After 800 Years appeared first on Inditales .

The Ultimate New Zealand Road Trip Itinerary

Posted : 5/8/2023 | May 8th, 2023 With its snow-capped mountains, ancient glaciers, rolling verdant hills, incredibly friendly locals, and abundant world-class wine, New Zealand is as wonderful as you’ve heard. In fact, take what you’ve heard and times it by ten. New Zealand will simply blow your mind when you visit. People think because it’s a small country, you can do it all in two weeks. That’s not true. There’s a lot to do here. From the north island to the south island, you need a lot of time here to do it all. You can fill months with activities. New Zealand may be small but it punches above its weight with things to do. But what if you don’t have months? What do you do then? What route do you take? What island should you start with? Where do you go? Or what if you do? Then what? Where do you begin planning that kind of trip? I get these questions in my inbox all the time. Having traveled all over the country multiple times, I know the complexities of trying to figure out

Why I’m Leaving Austin & Moving Back to NYC

Posted : 4/17/23 | April 17th, 2023 After eight years in Austin , I’m leaving and heading back to NYC full-time. I first visited Austin in 2013, got hooked, and started coming back so much that I decided to move here in 2015. I was only semi-here my first couple of years. I split my time in NYC for a bit, traveled a lot, and lived in Paris for a bit . But, in 2019, this became my only home. However, over the last year, it’s become clear that the city and I have grown apart. The weird little town that drew me here as a respite from the hustle and bustle of NYC is no longer a weird little town but a big city lacking big city infrastructure. The traffic is terrible, my food truck parks are gone, it’s more expensive, and quirky Rainey Street is now all high rises and hotels. The city’s character has just changed a lot as Austin has become “the place to be.” Now, I’m not trying to be one of those “get off my lawn” people. I am sure people lamented folks like me coming and changing th

The Perfect 3 Day Granada Itinerary

Posted : 4/13/2023 | April 13th, 2023 In this guest post, travel expert Somto from Somto Seeks shares her suggested itinerary for Granada, one of Spain’s most beautiful and enchanting cities. When you think of Granada, Spain chances are that one attraction comes to mind: La Alhambra. But this sprawling 14th-century palace — one of the finest examples of Moorish architecture — only scratches the surface of what Granada has to offer. A melting pot of the Muslim, Jewish, and Christian cultures that have built modern Spain , this city often feels like Morocco in some parts — until you run into a grand cathedral. One thing that is consistent, however, is its soulful, romantic aura that seems to permeate everything, from the street markets to the tapas bars. I’ve visited Granada twice, spending almost a month during my second stay. Each time, I visited La Alhambra but also discovered new parts of town, falling more in love with the flamenco culture and the narrow streets. While it i
