Also I would say , India has been the most underrated place. They should be getting way more tourists, but because of all the negative views about India, they hesitate, at least there are some that went against those.

[@StephandPete]

Totally underrated! It’s certainly a challenging place to visit but proves to be more than worth it! I wish more travelers would spend time here (particularly KZbinrs as I love watching other people’s videos about it!)

Took us 3 hours to get back there and he waited all that time. Wouldn't accept a penny but asked us to speak in English on the phone with his son who worked in Mumbai. Incredible India 🙂
