How a wrong turn in Goa led me to trust again
Two beaches, one motorcycle and a question I couldn't answer
For this story, join me in India, in 2013, where I'm about to learn that sometimes the hardest part of travelling solo is letting someone in.
His question caught me off guard. We were walking towards the beach, the sun low in the sky, when he asked me:
"When you meet people, do you tend to trust them or not?"
It was almost a month since I’d started my round-the-world journey. Now this motorcycle trip in Goa was challenging everything I thought my travels were about.
I looked back at Arjun but no words came out. I didn't even know the answer myself.
After hours of easy conversation with him, exploring hidden corners of Goa together, why was I suddenly speechless?
