Happy Holi!! I had so much fun at Holivate @conscious.events 📸 @itsjessmac

1 year ago today Jess and I arrived in India. Who knew we would be in this amazing country for so long? Even with corona virus sending the world into a global pandemic, India has an amazing way of getting you where you need to go at exactly the right time.

What’s the best part about traveling with a photographer? All of the amazing candid memories she captures of me. ❤️📸 @itsjessmac

Exploring the streets of Gokarna with @itsjessmac

We missed the boat, but not the sunset 😆 📸 @itsjessmac

Happy Valentine’s Day to my beautiful, sweet, strong, amazing, loving lady ❤️ Even though all we do every Valentine’s Day is hang out like normal, it’s just a reminder of how special you make me feel everyday. Love you forever ❤️❤️❤️

A corona time haircut. The sign about social distancing cracks me up.

Everyday we walk along the Ganges and everyday we see something new.

Dev Deepawali - a magical festival in Varanasi.

Hindus bathing in the waters of the Ganges River. Believers say the holy water will wash away sins accumulated in past and current lives.

The reality of the Yamuna river behind the Taj Mahal. One of the most shocking things I’ve seen while traveling in India. Watching people bathe and wash their clothes in this water left me speechless. I hope one day humanity can come together to clean up these rivers and bring them back to their true glory.

Welcome to Banaras, more famously known as Varanasi. Patiently waiting for the return of foreign tourists, boatmen make the most of their situation by chilling, sleeping and maintaining their vessels. Looking out into the Ganges River I can’t help but wonder what this place would feel like during the busy season. I can imagine all of these empty boats filled with tourists flooding the river. If sort of feels like Jess and I are traveling through the eye of a hurricane. The places we visit in India that are normally complex and chaotic are now calm and peaceful.
