This study examines Westerners who spend long periods of time in the city of Varanasi in northern India year after year. They claim to have found 'more vibes' in India; that is, they view life as more interesting and meaningful there than it is in the West. The research elaborates on those vibrations and how the better life becomes a lived practice among the Westerners in Varanasi. The research is ethnographic; the research methods include interviews and participant observation. Theoretically the research is situated within two major fields: lifestyle migration and community studies.
