Growing up in a Goan family, many of our traditions blended Indian and Portuguese influences. Family gatherings often centered around food, music, religious celebrations, and spending time with relatives.

Many of our traditions revolve around festivals and family gatherings. What I enjoy most is how older relatives share stories about previous generations during these events.

Not all traditions need to be cultural. Our family has an annual summer camping trip that started decades ago and continues even as children grow into adults.
