2 years
I keep myself occupied with:
Painting, Reflexology, design, & exploring Goa.
I like Goa most for:
Its nature, people, traffic, places to explore and discover food.
Life in Goa is all about:
Taking things easy.
I love eating out at:
A small little place called Raj – it’s just next to Bay 15, in Odxel. They have a delicious Goan meal at a reasonable price.
The best wedding venue in Goa is:
I’m allergic to weddings so I don’t attend any.
The best wildlife sanctuary in Goa is:
I’ve seen a bit of Netravali, and loved it.
