Adam, 38, adds, “What really caught our eye was the sheer contrast between Old and New Delhi. One minute you’re navigating the chaotic lanes of Chandni Chowk, and the next you are standing in awe at the peaceful Rajghat, or admiring the grandeur of Akshardham Temple and Humayun’s Tomb or the striking architecture of the Lotus Temple, which is one of a kind in the world.”
Back home in London (UK), Adam works in the construction industry while Jenny runs a consultancy for medical devices. “Although we both had full-time careers, we’ve always been passionate about travel and thus decided to take a break from out full-time careers,” says Jenny, as Adam elucidates, “We were always drawn to India’s diversity, its landscapes, culture, and people. But, we didn’t want to explore it the usual way so we thought of taking a journey across India on a tuk-tuk and make it an adventure! It’s slow, unpredictable, and sometimes a bit crazy too, but it has given us a chance to connect with people in a way we never would have otherwise. Plus, it’s hard not to smile when you see Raja cruising down the road.”
Documenting everything on their social media handles, the couple recently spent a few days in Delhi, and can’t stop talking about the city’s delicious food delights. “Since we’ve arrived in India, our best food experiences have been at homes of friends who have invited us over to try out some amazing dishes. Even the street food has been amazing. Especially in Delhi, we loved chhole bhature, dal, curries, and sweets,” Jenny adds.
With miles to go before they brake, Adam, Jenny, and Raja are now headed to Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh), exploring one city at a time.
