Skoll World Forum :)

I'll admit I was nervous. I was entering an intimate gathering of some of the most amazing people in the world after four months of living lazily in India.

I was afraid I had forgotten how to be professional and charming. Turns out I only forgot how to wear high heels.

This is amazing. Here I am surrounded by people who are changing the world with innovative, on-the-ground projects. They do anything and everything, and they do it with passion. The opening ceremonies were filled with well-written and moving speeches, and the dinners are buzzing with awe-inspiring conversations.

Plus, the dining halls make you feel like you're in Harry Potter.

But the funnest part, of course, is when the ties come undone and everyone gathers for too many cocktails. There's nothing like rubbing shoulders with buzzed influencers in a prison-turned-five star-hotel.

Too tired to write more... but more will come.
