I want to share my lovely “Me Time’ as I call it the most introspective journey of my life.
It started as a fleeting thought since my son and husband had a trip to UAE, my daughter was busy with IELTS and me …..well!!!
Honestly a “soul connection”, as I would call it, suggested a wonderful place which was rightly named “Scotland of India ” Coorg.
Trust me I have never been to South India in my 47 years but have some wonderful friends from the South also their cuisine being my favourite.
So as a challenge for me I researched and chose everything and asked my agent to do the bookings as per my feelings.
Car flight and arrived in a luring amalgamation of rich flora & fauna, steep hills, countless streams, lush forests, and breathtaking views called Coorg.
The hotel was exactly what I had seen rooms as a treehouse.
The check-in was super fast and they have these golf carts for use anytime you need or you can walk as the location was wonderful with exotic plants and coffee plantations everywhere to the restaurants, gym, recreational or the shop, etc also their wonderful spa which I used to the fullest was very hygienic.
Yes, I did go sightseeing at the elephant park the Abbey falls the Tala Cauvery a wonderful location where I spend a good two hours after a hilly drive.
So all those who have motion sickness please take some meds it’s very hilly but wonderful to drive. To travel solo you have a choice to see everything or nothing I chose the in-between doing only two “tourist `” spots.
Traveling on your own is scary but the rewards far outweigh the intimidation.
The lesson I learned was to get out of my comfort zone explore something unknown unaccompanied gaining a better understanding of myself and the world around me, it built my confidence my self-value not knowing what’s ahead but finding excitement, exploration, and real culture in the most honest way with yourself and your surrounding.
Stayed for 4 days but it changed me drastically.
I would advise all my clan to just do it once the destination doesn’t matter but the “Journey” will enlighten you, that’s my promise.
“Traveling alone will be the scariest, most liberating, life-changing experience of your life. Try it at least once!”
