Great interview, Abha! Really enjoyed this - not sure which I like better, "journalistic tiramisu" or "sun-dappled barf"...

My worst travel experience...hmm... It has got to be when I got sick in India. I know, I know - everyone gets sick in India. But I was a pretty inexperienced traveler, I was alone, and I really had no idea what to expect. It was my own crazy imagination that made it so bad, rather than the being sick itself (though that was no picnic).

I was so out of it, I genuinely thought I was dying. For two days I just lay in my bed and cried, and then got mad at myself for wasting bodily fluids on tears when I was clearly already dying of dehydration, and then I cried even harder. I even called my dad to say goodbye! (For which he has very kindly forgiven me.) Making things even worse, on the second night, the hotel owner let himself in to my room to tell me that his "village guru" had taught him a "special massage technique" that would make all my problems go away...

On the plus side, it was, like, so totally the best diet ever. Ha.
