The local Goa Spirit – A true experience

The memory of this Saunter is everlasting! I travelled to Goa to Unwind, Relax, Rejuvenate, and to find my solace unlike the commonly known reasons for many to land in Goa. This was my first experience with Make It Happen, and I was nothing but impressed. This saunter has a unique charm to it, this charm is captured to perfection by the team of Make it happen.

A special mention to Amreen who made this an experience of a lifetime for me. She was calm in her demeanour, her tone and voice decibel clearly well thought and matching the quietness of place. And if you are a tea lover there’s something for you that will warm your heart thoroughly by the end of it. I am so glad I did this!!!!!
