Hi Vicente,

I follow your blog regularly and have purchased from your store a couple of times. Your style, blog and store is a great inspiration to me and other designers I know as well.

I am going to India for 4 weeks in February and am very excited. I was wondering if you’ve been there and if so, do you have any recommendations on places to visit, markets to see, restaurants, etc.

I would greatly appreciate any advice.

Best,

Herbie

Vicente Responds:

I love India – you are going to have a great time, Herbie!

Some of my favorite places in India are:

India is a shopping paradise, the craft emporiums are good places with set prices for those who don’t like to bargain – it’s a pretty safe option. I don’t know if you have a travel agent, but Cathy Whitworth arranges a lot of the trips in India and goes there once or twice a year – she would be a great source for you. She’s been my travel agent for many, many adventurous trips!

Oh yes, be sure to stick only to bottled water – Delhi Belly is a nightmare.

    Hi Vicente,

    Love your books, very inspiring. Just wanted to let the lady know that in Rajasthan it is Rambagh Palace in Jaipur.

    Kind Regards
