How to continue meditation post 10 day course

I completed my first Vipassana Meditation course 5 days ago, and it was a great experience. I sort of hesitated at the first 5 days; initially, they were very tough. I hated it. I hate doing meditation, but on 6-7 days, something clicked that this might actually work out for me, and I won't be lying. I wasn't the best meditator there, or I didn't meditate the whole time. But I think I got to know what the tradition and the meditation practises wanted to do. Now that I have come back to my hometown, I wanted to continue my meditation practises. I sit 40 minutes to 1 hour per day, but I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what I am doing right. I am currently following a simple process:

  1. Ana Panna where I focus upon my breathing
  2. Then I focus upon the sensations from head to toe
  3. Finally, I focus upon all the sensations that I am feeling in my body at once

Is this the correct way to go, or is there anything else that you guys are doing post the first 10-day course? Do let me know. I am a beginner in meditation as well, and really would be helpful and appreciate your help.

Hey guys, I am 25M

I'll be going to Siliguri by flight from Delhi, on the 2nd May. A very last minute plan

I need a place to stay in for one night, from 2nd May to 3rd Afternoon, probabaly a Hostel like Zostel or GoStops.

Post that, I will be in the meditation centre from 3rd to 14th May, after that I have 3 days in my hand, 15th, 16th and the morning of 17th May.

Help me plan my trip from Siliguri to Darjeeling and then what to do in Darjeeling for 2 days, where to stay? How to reach Darjeeling and I need a hostel sort of a situation if possible.

Where to eat, where to go and what to see. What to buy?
I am intrested in football, culture, food and history.

Solo traveller with 2 trekking bags mostly, if that helps.

Young bachelor, do not have crazy budgets to be honest
