When I tell people that I’ve been to India I often get asked if it’s as crowded and undeveloped as they’ve imagined. It seems to be that people see pictures from the same areas of India and assume the whole country is like that. Last year I was lucky to spend 2 weeks traveling around the state of Kerala and I absolutely loved it. I want to inspire more people to visit this beautiful place, known as Gods Own Country, so here are 30 pictures from my trip that I think will do just that.
