I just got back from my first solo trip about which I had talked here sometime back. Unlike my other travel trips and escapades the plan this time was just to read, relax and maybe write a bit. And that is exactly what I did. This time, I was happy to be busy savoring some lip-smacking sea food, witnessing colorful sunsets at beaches where there was hardly anyone else other than me, and just lazing around on the couch for as long as I wanted to.
There was one more thing, actually two, that tried experiencing for the first time apart from being travelling alone. I stayed in backpacker’s hostels this time around (I will write about that soon) instead of putting-up in hotels or home-stays. And I tried complete the trip in a budget.
Because I hardly visited any of the spots in Goa in this trip, I think I could have saved a few hundred bucks more had I not rented the scooter for the four days I was there. I hardly used it anyway except for the time when I rode to the hostel and while returning from it.
Overall, the first solo was a nice experience with its own share of highs and lows and I am excited to share the experiences here soon as soon as I am done with the photos. Yeah! As always! I know! 🙁
For now, I leave you guys with some of the images shot using the mobile. Please excuse the terrible quality of the photos.
Have you always wanted to go on your first solo trip? Or have you always been on one? How was your first experience? Leave me a word in the comment section below, I would love to hear.
Goa has been a favorite place for me. I think its true for every Indian out there.
Maybe its the old world rustic charm or Dil Chahta Hai popularity 🙂
I love old places so yes I did enjoy that. Anything beyond that, I hardly went out this time around so as of now I am not in a perfect position to say if I loved everything about it.
But if you take the humidity off, I enjoyed my stay there 🙂
Pics don’t look bad at all…i loved them, especially of the rocky beach!
Thanks Alok, glad that you like them.
And yes, I too liked the rocky beach.
Nice pictures.
Thank you Amanda 🙂

Anyway… it’s ok… won’t comment if I can’t. Was there for a long time…thought you blocked me or something anyway.
Haha..! Why would I block you.
But the software has a certain limit about how long a comment can be, beyond that is automatically not accepted.
You are always welcome to post moderately-sized comments!
