Who knew you could fit one white girl and 9 Punjabis in the back of one auto-rickshaw?

I am a college grad. For the next six months or so, I will be traveling to Africa and South Asia. This blog will be a way for my family and friends throughout the world to keep track of me. I might even add a map or two if I figure out how to work this site. After all, that's what geographers do...
