Starting a new series for the blog - properties and experiences I loved personally.

Kicking this off is Teso Waterfront, a stunningly set riverside lounge + restaurant + resort destination on the Chapora-Siolim road in North Goa.

The owners have made every effort to make this a memorable experience.

From wooden flooring to Greek-style open frame seating areas flanked by gorgeous white sheets, this is an ideal location for a party, a date or even a bespoke wedding.

For anyone who's ever been to India, the desi bobble or nod is an amusing, lifelong memory.

Nirvana Films captures this aspect of the traveler's experience brilliantly in the new Incredible India 2013 ad.

Big crush on the lead actor by the way!

At the recently held Travel & Tourism Fair 2012 (TTF) in Mumbai, perhaps the best stall in terms of value for travelers was the Youth Hostel Association of India one.

I was pleasantly surprised that they had created a nice Guide and brochure to promote hostel culture in India (and around the world).




What is YHAI?

Quite simply, it's an organization which brings travelers together and offers a variety of hostels to stay in, anywhere in the world.

They have some fantastic treks and trips in the country, and the membership is affiliated to Hosteling International, which has hostels worldwide.

Annual membership is merely Rs.100 while the life membership is Rs.1,550.

I booked my very first hostel in Sao Paulo, the Praca Da Arvore Hostal on Trav.com and availed the YHAI / HI membership on visit. In the first 3 days of stay itself, the full value of my life membership was redeemed - that's how amazing YHAI can be for you as a traveler.

So head over today, and get yourself a YHAI / HI membership!

As per the National Center for Languages, there are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world.

That’s what the European Day of Languages (EDL) on 26th September aims to celebrate
- by showing people how important languages are, and what fun can be had learning them.

       

As a polyglot currently learning German at the Goethe Institut, it's going to be a privilege for me
to attend The European Day of Lanuages 2011 here.

Looking forward to some fun activities, events and lots of learning!

Interested in learning a new language? Come join the event at Goethe Institut
