The start

Within one week I should be happily in Goa, India. For 7 weeks.

I booked the tickets just two week ago so you might describe the trip to be a bit extempore, but I have been dreaming of going away from the rainy and cold fall of Finland for quite a long now. And since I had the chance to go and no other obligations right now I decided to fulfill this short-lived dream of mine.

My flight will be to and from Goa, but I should have enough time to get bored staying still and travel around India during my stay there. At least that is the plan and such must-sees as Taj Mahal and Varanasi are of course on the list, but Kerala sounds quite tempting as well. I'm not on too tight schedule or don't have too much planned forward, just a hostel for the few first nights in Anjuna, from where it might be nice to hike southwards all the way to Palolem during the first week(s). From there maybe a train to Kerala... We'll see.

I will be updating this blog whenever i get the chance on the road. Not stressing about it too much though since the purpose of the trip is getting to know a little bit more about the culture, indulge in the awesome local cooking and basically just be away from wet snow blowing horizontally in the darkness of Helsinki.
