The month of May has always been magical for me. It’s been a month of dreams coming true – backpacking trips across Europe, getting married, birthdays and anniversaries, and now am back to travelling again. Oh the joy! So get ready as I, Jo, makes her way to…     Pic Courtesy Lovell Dsouza Photography...

Well my site is about travel and me going places. The relevance of this post? I went and met the ForceIndia team. Am a die hard fan of this sport so when the opportunity presented itself, who was I to say no ? Social Media is amazing. So when a friend posted if anyone was interested in meeting the ForceIndia team, I did not...

Come Sunday and my mum will invariably split open a pack of Chorizo. That combined with a rice dish called Pulao makes Sunday lunch for most Goan Catholic households. So what makes Chorizo absolutely delicious and to die for? These Goan sausages are made out of pork marinated in vinegar, chill, garlic & ginger and other...

Ever since I read about Jhadpoli in the Lonely Planet Magazine India I was planning, plotting, waiting to visit that place. I had no real reason to go there; just the thought of a long drive out of Mumbai was captivating enough. So after a few drinks down when another friend suggested this place, we were all set to go.

There’s this small little cove hidden away in the hills of South Goa. 40 kms from Cavelossim and about 4 kms north of Agonda lies Cola Beach. Getting here is a task.

The church completed in 1661 is dedicated to Our Lady of Divine Providence. Its name however finds...

No Catholic household in Goa is complete without a cross. You will find crosses engraved on homes or a structure erected in front of houses. Each one is different in design yet built for one purpose – protect the family that resides there. My home has a cross engraved on the compound wall. But the cross that binds us all as a...

Found some wonderful places to unwind in Goa. They not like your typical hotel/resorts which make them even more exciting! So here go my finds. I so loved this place. It’s called Coco Shambhala. Well I have not been here yet, but Cocoshambhala looks heavenly. Almost out of this world to be in Goa. But I will one day soon go...

  When I am down in Goa, there’s one place I make a pilgrimage to. I head to Candolim beach and sit right opposite the ship, River Princess, which got dragged ashore years back. Till today no one can seem to move it. Why I don’t know. It’s not like I don’t care that it’s spoiling the shoreline but after these...
