I don’t navigate by coordinates. I navigate by character. Welcome to Goa with Padmini—a series where I take the wheel, leave the highways behind, and cruise through the most scenic, soulful corners of Goa. For Chapter One, we are slow-rolling through the vibrant heritage lanes of Panjim. The city is shifting, but its original blueprint is still perfectly intact if you know which turns to take. It is preserved by the uncompromised characters and spaces that hold down the true spirit of the land. On my ledger for this route: Stopping by to fuel up on the sweet, uncompromised punch of local flavor with @eldersons.brews 🍊 Pulling up to the gates of @pousadagetaways —a stunning sanctuary where old-world architecture breathes and time willingly stands still 🏨 The passenger seat is open. Save this route for your next slow drive through the capital, and tell me where we should cruise next.
