As someone from an older generation, and someone who has spent months in Goa, since 1994, what strikes me is that here you have someone telling people 'everything ' they need to know about Goa, when he has literally just arrived. He hasn't been there long enough to know how to pronounce the word 'Anjuna', let alone do a comprehensive 'travelogue'. It is something which highlights to me how some of the developments of technology are not being used in ways which are beneficial. The idea that you can sweep around 'Goa' which has many, many beaches and villages and is 2/3 hours north to south, in ONE day and then report on it as if you know anything other than a quick look, is ridiculous and also quite depressing . I'm sure you mean well. Admittedly you used the word, 'impression', in the title, because that is all it is.

Visited whole state Goa this year. I definetly recommend, everything is affordable and nice. :) Favorite beach was Palolem.

You should consider visiting the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as well as the Lakshadweep Islands in india for their breathtaking beaches.

I'm Goan, and Morjim (especially the southern strip) is also known as "Turtle Beach". It has less development, and no noise / parties / karaoke / entertainment, because the sea turtles come to nest and lay their eggs on those beaches, and part of it is closed off so when they hatch, they can be rehabilitated and assisted, or naturally make their way to the ocean. :) Hopefully Morjim remains that way. Human greed, development, and deforestation is destroying a lot of natural habitats. The earth is home to all species.

Some 50 years ago, when I visited GOA 1. time it was very, very different, very few hippies, many, many fishermen, in fact all of India was quite different then!

[shimshary]

Hello! I'm korean.. I have many friend who is living in south india! Someday, I would like to visit goa❤ thank you for sharing this video!

[ipadhome]

Nice to watch Goa again and many channels like yours and @uncovermore are posting good Goa content.. before covid Anjuna and Vagator were having more foreign travellers mostly backpackers making the environment more lively but post 2020 its filled with locals from northern Indian and few short term settlers from Mumbai

[antonios]

I would have suggest checking out Palolem and Patnem beaches, less built up and much quieter, also its low season so it nothing like between Dec - Feb.

Goa was so beautiful when I visited few years ago

[poulsonarrow]

Goa having a scooter is a must as it saves on traveling around and gives you that independence, a little chaotic, just have your finger on the horn, a lot of things have changed since 2003 by watching this video but still worth a visit . There are many accommodations, beach, hotels, private, and tbh private can be cheaper if remember back in 2003 rented a top floor large room with amenities costing £1.23 Sterling GB per night . Def go back ! Still have that red sand from Arambol/Anjuna ha.Namaste

Thanks for sharing this video, Useful for my research into Goa and which beaches to visit

[filipeventura]

When was this recorded? Anjuna is one of the most turistic places in Goa

[ajiljaison]

Brother kerala is the paradise of India just visit there it different my mumbai, delhi, goa. you can visit kovalam beach, Munnar, Fort kochi, Allapey back water, kodikanal so much more to visit.

[dennisspackman]

I am assuming that you are in Goa State in June or early July based upon when this video was posted. You comment on the lack of foreigners being present. Through visitation demographics may have changed after Covid a much bigger factor is the time of the year. The major season for travel there of foreigners is when it is fall and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Like many other tourist locations around the world in the off season the tourists are mainly locals and regional and national tourist of that country.

Come to Sri Lanka to enjoy the best beach experience. The Southern & Eastern coasts are tourist paradise.

[Humhaiacid]

It's off season now in goa season starts 1st week of November

I left goa after 2.5 years living there. This paradise is gone down the hill.
High priced, crazy, no infrastructure. Many many powercuts, taximafia, rikshamafia, overpriced rent. Crazy.
Naturewise a paradise.
Many cheap drunk tourists, liquorshops every 50 meter.
It's nice for a holiday, but living there?
There are better beaches in India. India is a beautiful country. But many foreigners are already coming with a stereotyped mindset.
