About Us

traveling around, India
sanyasins, seekers, travellers, companions,life lovers...

thank you for joining us on these journeys...

internal, external, individual, shared, in place, in movement, with friends, with family, with lovers, with strangers, with soul mates, with teachers, with guides, in body, in formlessness, through fire and heat, with rains and oceans, with breezes and storms, under the stars and the moon and the sun and the planets, with dust and dirt and mud, with flowers and butterflies, with arousing smells, in mind, in the heart, in the soul, in spirit, in this life time, in past life times, through time, in timelessness, in laughter, in tears, with screams of joy fear and pain, in silence, linear, clear, vague, zigzag, full of curves, with tons of detours, with a purpose, without a destination...

que vivan los fixed price menus!


Oh yes!!!

Long live the fixed price menus of Spain and their colonies. We have tried to figure out between us, and a few friends we’ve asked, if this concept exists elsewhere in Europe. And it seems the answer is no. So for about 10 euro, or as low as 8 and up to 13 euro, you can get a starter, a main dish, bread, dessert, and a glass of wine - or sometimes even a bottle if it’s two of you! And the portions are a fair size. Can you beat it??? In plazas, in bistro type places, all over town, you need not look hard to find them, and sometimes it not only applies to lunch but also at dinner time. This is a double edged sword however. First of all, it’s damn hard to find a menu that has vegetarian options for a main dish. So our dear Nisarga ended up going through several consecutive days where he ate fish and reached a point when he was so sick and tired of it he didn’t even want to see a fish dish. Another drawback is that in the land of tapas, like Barcelona and Andalucia, it is actually limiting. However, the menu has saved us a whole lot of money while filling us up nicely, and has provided us with a range of local preparations.

We are grateful!
