2 Days in Morjim for a Solo Trip

Morjim is my favorite spot in North Goa for its laid-back vibe, stunning beaches, and Russian influence. It's perfect for solo travelers who want a mix of relaxation and a bit of fun. The beach is clean, the food is great, and there's enough to keep you entertained without feeling overwhelmed. I love how you can just chill with a book one minute and join a beach volleyball game the next.
