FIVE OFFBEAT WAYS TO FIND BLISS IN THE GLORY OF GOA Published on July 9, 2020August 11, 2020 by 100cobbledroads 12Comments
FLASHBACK TO FREEDOM IN GOA 100 days of lockdown. 100 days of blue skies, birdsong and window-facing workdays. 100 days of balcony greens, dewdrops and virtual events. 100 days of introspective solitude and small mercies. Occasional anxiety bouts and unexpected disaster-strikes. Largely #ThriveAtHome theme. And finally, a break in hibernation, thanks to an unavoidable errand. Covid-proof drive through almost-forgotten roads. Untrimmed bougainvillaea bushes breaking free in joyous abandon. Expressionless masked mortals trapped in the safety of sanitised vehicles. Me: weighing the value of freedom on a leash… Continue reading “Five offbeat ways to find bliss in the gloryof Goa” →

ISLE OF SKYE WILL FIRE UP YOUR HEART Published on January 30, 2020August 11, 2020 by 100cobbledroads 21Comments
VISIT THE SCOTTISH HIGHLANDS FROM INVERNESS… If you’ve been having recurring dreams about prowling around in the deep dark mist hanging over glassy mysterious lochs and losing yourself to the wilderness of the majestic Highlands of Scotland, you’ve been fantasising about the Isle of Skye. If there is a heaven on earth for incorrigible nomadic souls and obsessive nature hikers, this is it. But 1,656 square kilometres of the largest island of the Inner Hebrides archipelago, sprawled over the western edge of the British Isle also makes an idyllic destination for hopeless romantics.

WHY CONNEMARA WILL MAKE YOU SING WITH JOY Published on December 26, 2019August 11, 2020 by 100cobbledroads 20Comments
BEST DAY TRIP FROM GALWAY… Every guidebook waxes eloquent about the raw appeal of ‘Wild Connemara’. Luring you with vivid landscape photography that makes you go weak in the knees. Enticing you with fantasies that seductively whisper ‘pick me, pick me’ for your ears only. Leaping out of your screen tantalisingly as a ‘dare-you-to-not-ignore’ mandate for your semi-frozen Ireland itinerary. Cakewalk, declares the visual pasted on your desktop. Because you’re sold, too soon. Dreamy-eyed every second till you reach the destination that’s been haunting you non-stop. And head-over-heels, even after.

WHAT MAKES A TRIP TO THE GIANT’S CAUSEWAY SO EPIC? Published on November 21, 2019August 11, 2020 by 100cobbledroads 20Comments
DAY TRIP TO GIANT’S CAUSEWAY IN NORTHERN IRELAND… Ireland, Dublin and the Giant’s Causeway…the path is inevitable, almost prescribed. Two possible reactions. Curious and keenly inclined towards Northern Ireland’s solo World Heritage tagged (and most visited) site, that saw over a million footfalls in 2018. Or blasé to the point of brushing it off as yet another over-crowded tedium. Either way, we’re all adequately Google-rehearsed and Instagram-prepped, so nothing should stir up a surprise, right? Wrong. Freshly juiced from a trip to the Emerald Isle, I say this with the deepest of conviction. No amount of preparation matches up to the real deal. In this case…seeing truly is believing. And that is noexaggeration.

TRADITIONAL CRAFTS OF ODISHA… Odisha’s magnificent temples and silky beaches have been working overtime to pull in the throngs forever.

Like its untouched forests, secret gorges, abundant wildlife and a rich treasury of traditional arts and crafts. From elaborate stone carving and mask-making to fine silver filigree and handloom, a handicraft tour of Odisha can prove to be an adventure as well as a challenge. Smart traveller alternative?

HOW I MADE THE MOST OF MY 3RD YEAR OF TRAVEL BLOGGING Published on August 8, 2019December 26, 2019 by 100cobbledroads 46Comments
FROM TRAVEL BLOGGER TO LEGIT TRAVEL WRITER… 129 blog posts. 1,30,000 words. 1000 days of blogging. Whoosh! I must have blinked. Pinch me…has it been three years already since a nervous newbie first bared her soul online in the coveted cosmos of travel ‘influencers’? It’s been a joyride, this 3rd year of my third career, riding on wings of un-jaded exuberance and unscathed passion. Would it be too presumptuous to pat my own back just yet? Considering that one of my several vices happens to be an irreversible and intense intolerance for routine. Continue reading “How I made the most of my 3rd year of travel blogging” →SHARE

CESKY KRUMLOV, THE OFFBEAT WAY Gawking over the iconic sights in a fairytale town like Cesky Krumlov is a given. Who can escape the attraction of the dreamiest of settings…medieval castle overlooking a time-warped, red-roof huddle of houses, and a gushing river wrapping it like a satiny ribbon.

The rewards? Unanticipated discoveries. Here are my favourite five solitude-filled spots to swoon over, in the cutest town of the Czech Republic.
