About this Blog
From Argentina, to Egypt, Ecuador, Europe, India, Japan, and even the Panama Canal, you'll hear about my exciting adventure stories, tips, personal experiences, and cultural information. You'll be able to read my stories about my Indian culture and the traditions and holidays my family experiences. I also provide a taste of the trips I have been on and some of the interesting people and opportunities I have had so far. I'll keep updating about all of my journeys. Also, take a look at the different pictures from all around the world as you go...

Tonight, the moon will be the closest to Earth that it has been in the past eighteen years. According to the National Geographic, "The monthly full moon always looks like a big disk, but because its orbit is egg-shaped, there are times when the moon is at perigee—its shortest distance from Earth in the roughly monthlong lunar cycle—or at apogee, its farthest distance from Earth." The moon will be visible at pretty much any time throughout the night. The supermoon will be about 20 percent brighter and 15 percent bigger than a regular full moon. Such a lunar close encounter can cause slightly higher than normal ocean tides and localized flooding, especially if there is already a storm surge. Hopefully we won't have another natural disaster like in Japan! A supermoon may even have some impact on seismic activity because of the stronger gravitational interaction between the moon, the sun, and Earth.
Don't miss it!
