Geoff Josey's Transformation
Geoff Josey, known on Instagram as 'the_globedigger', stated that his definition of a 'successful trip' usually involved seamless logistics and curated comfort. However, after traveling through India, his perspective changed for the better.
In the clip, he shared that India is not the easiest destination and is not always comfortable, but that is exactly what made the journey through the subcontinent worthwhile. 'India forces you to slow down, adapt, and see the world differently. And honestly... that's what travel is supposed to do,' he wrote in the caption.
Highlights of His Journey
Josey mentioned that India has some of the best street food, world-class beaches, and iconic temples such as the Golden Temple. He also visited the Hawa Mahal in Jaipur, Wagha Border in Punjab, India Gate in New Delhi, Gateway of India in Mumbai, and the Taj Mahal in Agra. 'It's not for everyone, but it's unforgettable,' he wrote.
Social Media Reactions
The video gained immense views on the platform, with over 352,000 views and more than 17,000 likes. While replying to one of the comments, he said, 'The best part about India is the people.'
When asked about what scares him the most in India, Josey quipped, 'The scammers in Delhi lol.'
Another user revealed they traveled around the country for three months and visited places such as Cochin, Delhi, Kerala, Munnar, Hampi, Goa, Varanasi, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Jaisalmer, Udaipur, and Pushkar. 'I would go again in a heartbeat. India you have stolen my heart,' they wrote.
'Cannot love this enough...India changes you forever,' wrote another user.
'You should come to India 29 times, one visit for each state,' added another.
