I've noticed a growing trend in the US of American white girls wanting to travel to India.
I've overheard several conversations at the coffee shop or having lunch somewhere and also including girls I know. It usually goes like "I'm going to India, I'm so excited!"
All I can think when I hear this is "of all the places in the world you can go, why would anyone want to travel to that shit hole?"
One of the travel junkies I dated loved India, said it was one of her favorite places. She hired a driver/tour guide to keep her and her friend safe, let them know which places to stay away from, which toilets were safe to use (seriously), and so on.
My take on her and why she loved India:
1) The usual spiritual/yoga shit that's been pointed out above
2) The element of danger actually excites them; in all likelihood they won't get raped, but the fact that there's a chance makes them feel they are pushing their limits and also the limits of what society deems acceptable, thereby bolstering their own sense of independence. Women make stupid/dangerous choices like this all the time, it's the travel version of dating a criminal badboy.
