Goa, Autumn 2k17

Goa, A city in India where people from all across Europe flock. The many beach clubs and restaurants add to the charm of this gem—a small town from all accounts, but extremely lively. Traditionally I would only be in Goa During the high season, December through April. Although this time I was there during the offseason. I was left with the question, what on Earth am I supposed to do for the next four days? 

 I was there during the monsoon season where all the European restaurant owners had packed up and gone back for a few months, so we survived out of restaurants we knew would be open, such as the burger factory, which has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and incorporates the Goan wildlife into the indoor/outdoor restaurant. Gunpowder, essentially a hole in the wall, with great South Indian food, This restaurant brings in the very essence of South Indian cuisine. Cream Choc is one of the best Gelato places in India; their various flavours give your taste buds a high you cannot compare to any other gelato in the country. 

The terrible weather meant that I had to stay in the hotel most of the time, which was no difficult task, as the hotel itself had an excellent environment throughout. The lobby had a bar and DJ and a great indoor/outdoor lounging area. The rooms had an incredibly modern feel, with floor to ceiling windows and floor to ceiling mirrors covering the bathrooms.

To conclude, I cannot possibly suggest a visit to Goa during this time of year if you are someone who enjoys the beach being outdoors and exploring and trying new things, but if you are someone who likes staying in their rooms or the confines of their hotel, this time is just beautiful to plan a visit to the city.
