Why I no longer check in and geotag my whereabouts

I’ve not done too bad with regards to online trolls over the years. Bearing in mind I’ve been known to post some controversial content and I’m certainly not one to hold back on giving my opinion.

Create Your Own Adventure - Srinagar to Kanyakumari Cancelled

I have been getting such conflicting information as to how safe it would be for me, as a foreigner with no support, to walk through the valleys and highways in the Jammu and Kashmir region, that it would have been a complete gamble for me to take. It’s with deep regret that I’ve had to cancel…

Trekking and adventure in the magical land of India
