Samson has reported on the experience from his point of view:

“When I first set foot in India, I knew I was in for an adventure, but nothing could prepare me for the incredible journey that lay ahead. As a full time travel content creator, I’ve travelled a lot, but India was a completely unique experience, one that pulled me in with its contrasts and left me in awe.

The chaos and colours of Delhi blew me away in a positive way. In Agra, I stood before the Taj Mahal at sunrise, watching as the marble shifted colors in the morning light. It was surreal. DhulaGarh was an absolute delight—its quiet charm and beautiful fort made it feel like stepping back in time. And Jaipur? That city felt like a dream of palaces and pink sandstone streets.

One of my favorite parts of the journey was meeting the people. Indian hospitality is like no other, and I was welcomed into homes, shared in family meals, and learned so much from locals about their traditions and stories. I tasted dishes I’d only read about and each bite was an experience in itself.

India is a place that can be overwhelming in the best way. It’s a sensory overload, a mix of chaos and calm, old and new, loud and serene. I left with my heart full and my mind racing with memories. India is more than just a destination; it's an experience that changes you."
