Doll trees in Varkala, India

Varkala, India.

The beach in Varkala, India.

We found a nicer beach about an hour away.
Though the weather was cloudy and many places were closing up.
This is what you get for visiting resort towns during the off season.
I’ve never before been so self-conscious wearing a bathing suit at the beach.
Men stare at me anyways. More so if I’m barely dressed.
Women here just swim in their clothes.

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.
