Goa, the college-friends edition

December 20, 2024 · Goa, India · cleared

Different Goa, different energy — this one was all college friends, the kind of trip where nobody checks the time and the plan is just “beach, then see what happens.”

Sunsets you stop walking for, a shack that mounts a motorbike on the ceiling and calls it decor, and a Havmor cart glowing on the dark sand. Not much itinerary, a lot of memory.

The daily sunset everyone stopped for.

Out on the water, doing nothing in particular.
