With the help of Capstone Editing I’m looking forward to getting back on the road and telling stories of the people I meet and the river itself. Read a little about the grant below and click on the link to check out Capstone Editing.

Entering India after everything that had come before was partially bliss and partially chaotic. Mainly because all I had to do now was continue walking, and chaos because, well… it was India.
