Goa’s gone down in history as the perfect escape from reality. Much to our disappointment, it is nothing more than a weekend getaway, defined only by its beaches, cheap alcohol and nightlife. Goa’s heritage is vivacious, vibrant and vocal of the turmoil it has been through, and we believe it needs to be celebrated more […]
As the sky turns a crimson hue, I stand up to dust myself off and with slippers in hand begin to head home. I turn back just for a moment. There’s something about this place.
Goa’s no more sticking to just sightseeing – it’s becoming more! It’s talking about its past and its present, its many stories and experiences that have shaped it for what it is today.
