Dare to do it!

Travel itself is an exciting word! And every time I step out of my usual atmosphere to visit destinations unknown to me, I discover myself over and over. I avoid the path treaded by most tourists and perceive the place in my own way - appreciate how the city survives under the sheath of tourism. The local architecture and town planning process attracts me strongly. Anything unconventional draws me, stimulating my soul, making me feel alive once again. I dare!

Being a part of the Alive is Awesome campaign by Cinthol has been a great experience for me - reminiscing various adventure bathing experiences I have had during various trips, and talking about the journeys I wish to undertake! It has brought back many fond memories and encouraged me to continue my search for the unknown.

I have had the opportunity to have a first hand experience of some of the products in this newly launched range and take my word for it, they are awesome!

I close this series with something I have always wished to do. I have seen it in movies, and travel albums of friends - images of water skiing, kite-surfing, surfing and various water sports. This is something that has been attracting me for long. 

I went to Goa in the monsoons to enjoy water sports when the sea is full. Unfortunately, since its a off season, such activities were stalled. I shall be going back to Goa in the tourist season for a first hand experience of these "adrenaline rush" experiences!

Do you dare to accompany me?

I hope you enjoyed reading this series on my space. Read the previous posts here, here, here, here, here and here.

Very succinctly said. I have always thought that I find myself more when I travel - and get lost in strange new places. :)

Well yes that would be fun but I am more a Antarctica girl from the blog post below. I love the snow. I think you are going to have fun where ever you go. Good for you enjoying this world we live in even if you are not sure what you are heading for. Life is an adventure and we all must branch out and experience it without fear. B

Hi Anupama,

Like you, I also love to travel. Being able to visit different parts of the country and the world, is one of the things that makes life worth living.

I hope you can get to do some water sports when it's the season again. It certainly does sound exciting!

I suppose one needs a lot of practice (and guts) to reach that level of daredevilry.
Do let us know when you have done it (with pictures) :-)
