I'm from London and have been on a travel/volunteer/work adventure for the last 18 months! My real name is Louise but I prefer to be called Cookie.

I spent 3 months travelling India and I was amazed at how different each location I visited was. I experienced some interesting train journeys, learnt to fend off and haggle with rickshaw drivers, tried as much of the local food as possible and was even daring to give the street food ago.

I was previously living in Australia in Melbourne saving money to be able to come back to India to work on a volunteer project which I became interested in last time I travelled India.
