Mangalore Today News Network
Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 12, 2025: A Russian tourist has gone viral on social media after revealing her favourite state in India, having travelled across the country. Content creator Amina Finds took to her Instagram account to share a video where she heaped praise on Kerala, stating that the southern Indian state felt ’calm and peaceful’ to her.
"After travelling to so many places in India, I have finally found my favourite place," said Amina, adding: "Don’t get me wrong, everywhere I went in India, I have met kind and interesting people and saw so many beautiful places but what I really liked about this state is how calm and peaceful it feels."
Finds highlighted that it was the diversity of Kerala where different faiths coexisted peacefully, and the cleanliness that made the state dear to her.
"What really stood out is how much people care for their surroundings. The streets are clean, recycling bins are everywhere and the nature feels respected rather than used," she said.
"The diversity here is real: mosques, temples, churches, and even synagogues exist side by side peacefully. Kerala feels like a reminder of what can happen when education and culture meets respect."

Earlier this month, another foreign traveller called India as their favourite place to travel in the world. German motorcycle vlogger Marcus Engel, better known as Marc Travels, said he never felt as free anywhere else in the world as he did while travelling across India during his trip.
Known for his adventures and long-distance motorcycle trips, where he explores the culture of the region on his two-wheeler, Marc said he would ’definitely’ be back in India.
