How to find the right beach for you in Goa.

I loved the spiritual beachy bohemian vibe of Goa and the fact that every beach has shacks serving authentic home cooked Indian food and you can always find a good cocktail.

The Best Night Markets: Goa, India

I’m not sure shopping is a reason to travel anywhere but it certainly adds to a place when you’re a homewares fan like I am. I was curious about what to expect in India but knew that there would be bright colours and patterns galore, so I couldn’t wait.

Holi Festival: What to expect from colourful Goa

When traveling there are some things that just elevate the experience. They move and delight you, change you as a person almost, especially in a very spiritual place like India. I love a good party and a festival even more so. All that happiness and positive energy can’t fail to get you in a jubilant mood.

Gastro Goa: My Top 3 Foodie Picks for Herbivores and Carnivores Alike

It’ll come as no surprise that when we were researching our trip to India, the food was one of the major attractions. One of the major draws from my point of view was that 50% of the population or more is vegetarian, meaning that being a herbivore, India is possibly one of THE best places to visit. Secondly, the herbivore (me) and the carnivore (him) are massive spice fiends, often lacing even the dullest foods with enough chilli to sink a ship! For those of a sensitive tongue disposition, you’ll be glad to hear that our trip to India taught us that it’s not all about heat, though, as it’s all in the layering. Those seductive, evocative spices creep up on you and build on the palate, providing a taste sensation.

Sailing The Secret Backwaters of Goa:

I went to India seeking balance, as many do. I knew just the place I should go to find my equilibrium – the land of Susagade; a Goan word roughly meaning contented, relaxed and slower living. I wanted to immerse myself in the culture and discover the unexpected in Goa, known mainly for its amazing beaches. One such offbeat and little known part of Goa is its backwaters – canals that connect to the magnificent and abundant Mandovi River.
