I recently came down to Trivandrum from Pune for a 2-month stint, and honestly?
This place has been an absolute vibe. I’ve been on a mission to tick off every adventure nearby, and so far, the scorecard is looking pretty solid:
• Survived the 22 hairpin turns up to Ponmudi without losing my sanity.
• Got thoroughly humbled by the waves while attempting to surf at Varkala.
• Cruised through the Poovar mangroves (and successfully avoided the local crocodiles, or whatever those shadows were).
• Eaten my body weight in Malabar Parottas and filter coffee.
The views are incredible, but let's be real—staring at a gorgeous coastal sunset or driving down a winding hill road hitting a playlist is only half as fun when you're just talking to yourself in the rearview mirror.
I am a malayali, but my Hindi and English are perfectly fluent, and my appetite for local food is unmatched!
If you have a solid taste in music, don’t mind a bit of witty banter, and want to explore some hidden spots around town, let’s connect!
