Seriously, as an American you make some of the best content on India. I work in global logistics and have been bullish on India since 2007. You show a different side of India from a tourist / cultural / spiritual perspective. A lot of westerners located in North America / Europe are posting YT videos just to tap into India’s huge YT viewer base. You are a truly legitimate choosing to live there and sharing your experiences from an American’s perspective. Love it!

What´s up Banjamin again! Just answering one of the viewers questions about TATTOOS in India. I saw like three tattoo parlor or shops in Manikaran, Himachal Pradesh in 2019. There was one dude getting a tattoo done and about 8 young Indian men gathered around and looking on to see the process. It´s in the Parvati valley. I have 3 tattoos myself. I love tattoos.

Doesn't that make your hands covered in tap water potential? Is there a strategic counter against such or a strategy? Hard to say hands are cleaner then dishware if both are cleaned with dangerous tap water. Thoughts?

He was being responsible, respectful and careful. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time (18 darn months). Die remember that he started traveling with his mom and auntie in North India when all of this mess hit 🤜🏻 us and had to cancel the rest of the trip and help his mom and auntie get back home. Now he seems to have gotten the green light. Keep on truckin'🚛 'Benjamin!
