Mumbai
Mumbai quickly became one of my all-time favorite cities I have ever been to. Not in the sense that it would be the first place I travel back to, but it completely revolutionized my thought on life. I actually came here on a group trip so a lot of the days were all organized, but part of the trip was teaching english to kids in impoverished communities and wow I would do this same trip 1,000 times over. In the free time we had, I got to explore certain parts of the city that were filled with incredible street food, lassis, and awesome masala dosas. I would definitely come back to Mumbai if given the opportunity!
