Thank you for all the kind words about my latest TV show on @travelxptv 'Navratri - The Nine Nights.'
🎥💃🇮🇳
Having been to 23 states in India this was my first time in Gujarat and what a time to visit! I celebrated Navratri and joined many different Garba events including the wonderful @unitedwayofbaroda - the world's largest!
Despite initially not knowing any of the dances or moves people were so welcoming (and patient) and I always felt included. Thank you!
Have you played garba before?

Hands up if people ask you 'Where are you?' rather than 'How are you?' 🙋🏼♀️

My new TV show is out today! 🎥 🎬 🌏
'Navratri - The Nine Nights' premieres on @travelxp at 8PM in the UK & 8PM IST.
My first visit to Gujarat coincided with Navratri festival, which is celebrated with the dance form 'Garba'. It is performed often by thousands of people in concentric circles around a lit lamp or an image of the goddess Durga.
You'll see in the episode, but I had the chance to visit a number of different Garba celebrations during my visit - all quite different. At all of them, despite usually being the only foreign visitor, I was warmly welcomed and taught the movements by people of all ages.
Garba was hypnotic, beautiful, colourful and joyful! What a wonderful time for my first visit to Gujarat.
Thanks to Travelxp & the lovely crew.

🌟 Top things to do in Iquique & Tarapaca, Chile 🌟
Save for your trip!
🏞 Visit the Tarapaca Giant: Explore the world's largest anthropomorphic geoglyph (119m tall!) – perfect for drone shots. 🚗 Hire a car for easy access.
🪂 Go Paragliding: One of the highlights of my trip was soaring over Iquique’s cityscape, dunes, and ocean with Diablos Adventure. 🎥 GoPro included!
🏖 Walk along Playa Cavancha: Great for sunbathing, street cocktails and evening food stalls. Don’t miss the rock pools & beach football! ⚽
🦭 Spot the Sea Lions: Spot dozens of sea lions at the fish market near the Esmeralda museum – best early morning or sunset. 🦭📸
🏚 Visit Humberstone & Santa Laura: Walk through the slightly eerie, preserved ghost towns. They are UNESCO sites rich in history. 🏚
🌵 Explore the Altiplano: Visit Salar de Huasco & the cactus forest. You'll be treated to breathtaking views, but prepare for high altitudes by staying hydrated and taking it slow 🌄

Most people that visit Antigua end up at Shirley Heights, usually on a Sunday evening. 🍖🌞🛢
In the south of Antigua, the lookout is at 490ft above sea level and was previously used as a signal station to convey messages to St John's.
Now it's the location of one of the most popular bars and restaurants on the island and it really comes alive on a Sunday evening when hundreds of people join for BBQ & live steel pan music.
The sunsets here are incredible and the jerk pork was one of my favourite meals of the trip! Make sure to arrive from about 5pm to see the views over English & Falmouth Harbours.
