Goa Diaries: 4 Days of Freedom, Sea & Self-Discovery
Hi, I’m a 26-year-old girl, living in Hyderabad, stuck in the classic corporate 9–5 majdoori while my heart just wants to travel, explore, and breathe.
So one fine day, I said—bas bahut ho gaya, booked a ticket, and flew to Goa ✈️
No overthinking. Just vibes.
This is the story of my perfectly imperfect 4-day Goa trip 💛
🧳 Day 1: Flight, Beach & First Reality Check
I took a cozy 1-hour flight from Hyderabad to Goa. Including airport travel and flights, the total cost was around ₹5,000—pretty budget-friendly if you ask me.
From the Goa airport, I directly took a cab and went straight to Baga Beach 🌊
You might think I checked into a hotel first…
Nope. Not me.
I reached the beach with two big bags, found a shack, and decided to just sit by the sea.
They charged ₹100 per hour for the couch, which was fine. I ordered a couple of drinks and an omelette and just sat there—listening to the waves, salty air on my face, mind finally quiet.
But… welcome to Goa reality check 😅
The shack guy later handed me a bill of ₹700 for:
Couch charges
Drinks
One omelette
Slight negativity on Day 1 itself.
But honestly? Mood kharab karne ka time nahi tha. I let it go.
Later, I found a neat, clean, well-maintained room just 100 meters from Baga Beach for ₹1,500 per night 🏠
Dropped my bags, rested a bit (early morning flights are tiring yaar), and by 6 PM, I was back on the streets.
And OMG…
Goa isn’t just a place—it’s a feeling.
The pubs, the music, Tito’s Lane, people from everywhere, the culture, the energy, the smell of the sea mixed with freedom—it all just washed away my corporate stress.
A slow walk, beach lights, night breeze… pure sukoon.
Ended Day 1 back at the beach, long walk by the shore, and slept peacefully.
Chaotic yet calm.
🛵 Day 2: Scooty, Churches & Anjuna Vibes
Woke up excited and rented a scooty for ₹450/day 🛵
Important tip:
👉 Always take a full video of the scooty before riding. Otherwise, log bolte hain “ye scratch aapne kiya” and try to charge extra.
They asked for:
Valid Driving License
Aadhaar card (submitted till return)
First stop: Goa’s beautiful churches ⛪
I explored:
Basilica of Bom Jesus (UNESCO site, very peaceful)
Se Cathedral
Church of St. Cajetan
Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception (Panaji)
The architecture, silence, and history—dil ko shaanti mil gayi.
Throughout the day, I kept stopping:
For fish fry 🐟
For kokum juice (refreshing AF)
By evening, I reached Anjuna Beach 🌅
Sat there, watched the waves, enjoyed a proper Goan sunset, and just let life slow down.
Day 2 = Perfect balance of travel + peace
🌊 Day 3: Beach Hopping & Back to Baga
Day 3 was all about beaches, beaches, and more beaches.
Started early and explored:
Anjuna Beach
Candolim Beach
Calangute Beach
Cliff-side beaches near Vagator (absolutely stunning 😍)
Every beach had a different vibe—some calm, some lively, some just made you sit and think about life.
By evening, I came back to Baga Beach—because let’s be honest,
Baga is the heart of Goa ❤️
More seafood, sea breeze, music in the background, and that familiar feeling of “I don’t want this trip to end.”
Ended the night peacefully.
🏡 Day 4: Panjim to Home & Maa Ke Haath Ka Khana
On Day 4, I headed to Panjim bus stop and took a 2-hour bus journey to Belgaum (around 100 km).
Ticket cost was very reasonable—budget travel win 🚌
Belgaum is my hometown, and nothing, absolutely nothing, beats maa ke haath ka khana 🥹❤️
After days of travel, that comfort hit different.
From Belgaum, I finally headed back to Hyderabad, back to life—but with a lighter heart.Hi, I’m a 26-year-old girl, living in Hyderabad, stuck in the classic corporate 9–5 majdoori while my heart just wants to travel, explore, and breathe.
So one fine day, I said—bas bahut ho gaya, booked a ticket, and flew to Goa ✈️
No overthinking. Just vibes.
This is the story of my perfectly imperfect 4-day Goa trip 💛
