Experiencing the Magic of Goa Carnival 2026: A Personal Journey from an Airbnb Amidst Parades and Artistry
In February 2026, I had the chance to experience this lively celebration from a unique vantage point—a friend's Airbnb balcony overlooking the parade route.

Creating this piece made me feel like I was part of the carnival, too.
