Hello My Allys
It is Tuesday again and here we are marching in full speed towards women’s day which is celebrated throughout the world on the 8th of March. This is a day dedicated to women and empowering them to make sure that they are no less than anyone in this world. This Year, the theme for the day is “Equality for Women, Progress for All.” And so I decided I should evolve this week’s tips around woman and what could help them on their travel journey.
Travelling alone can be a daunting and terrifying task but if you are up for the challenge, accomplishing it will make you even more happy and more confident about your self.
As Exciting as it may sound, it will not always be so you need to get the following things tick marked before you embark upon a solo travel journey.
- Research well about the destination you are heading to, places to visit, clothes one should wear in those place. Also, Learning the basics of the language helps a lot – May just Hello, Good Morning, Emergency, Please and so on.
- Remember as you are outside avoid drinking too much when you are alone. You need to handle your own self well, when you are alone. Also, when served a drink, always keep an eye on your drink may not be an alcoholic one but still, keep an eye on your glass.
- When You sense some danger, don’t afraid to create a scene. In such places, learning basic words definitely helps.
- Trust Everyone and No one – This is the golden rule that you should know and understand. It is but obvious when you travel you make a lot of new friends, that’s the exciting part, but you need to understand when to Open up about your thoughts with whom and where.
- If you visit crowded places – remember to take care of your belongings that includes the cash, credits cards, (If travelling internationally than your Passports) And don’t keep all your cash at one place.
- Optional but this would be add on for your safety carry a pepper spray in a bag or learn martial arts. Up to you what you want to choose between the two or maybe you could select both.

The First Church in Bardez Taluka – Reis Magos Church
Hello My Beautiful Allys,
Hope you all are doing fine. It is Friday or should I say Fri- Yay! It is the time of the week that I look forward to! Not only because we can see the weekend is near, but also because I get to feature one place of my choice in #TravelwithAllycaral 👒#BeingAllycaralFridayFeature 👒 ! Yes… This Week, I thought of featuring a beautiful church, the first in the state of Bardez.
Sounds familiar ? Yes Couple of weeks back I asked you about Which is the first church built in the Bardez Taluka. So here it is… The Reis Magos church. The church is the first church built in the Bardez Taluka way back in 1555. The Name Reis Magos is derived from a Portuguese word which means, “Three Magis” which points towards the Three Wise Men who bought gifts for Baby Jesus when he was born.. Situated in the fortress of the Resi Magos Fort, the church has a pleasant view of the River Mandovi. Earlier looked after by the Franciscans, it has consecrated to St. Jerome. But as the time passed, it grew as a learning centre for priest across the state.
If one takes a closer look at the church, the church has a facade of Portuguese imprints on it and the beautiful outer coat is eye catching. The interiors on the other hand have a wood that depicts the Three Wise Kings giving gift to the baby, Jesus. Every Year, the Church celebrates the Feast of the three kings on 6th January with great pomp and splendor. A huge procession is carried out by the locals to mark the feast.
As one walks near the foot of the steps of the church one can see a small shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Good Hope. Several people devotedly worship and pray for to this shrine.
