We've made it to Goa and these are our first impressions! We think South Goa might just be Indian Paradise. South Goa is an ideal place for digital nomads, expats adventurers, yogis, backpackers and even young families. It's super chill. This is what staying in Palolem Beach and Patnem beach is like. This is our South Goa vlog.
Stay tuned for more upcoming videos, we post every Sunday.

@keysersoze3522 3 ай бұрын

India is a big and diverse country, but most foreigners tend to visit the same cities. The most beautiful places in India aren't found in these big cities; they're in the Himalayan valleys and villages, Indian islands, the northeastern part of India, the Western Ghats and Eastern Ghats, the Sunderbans, and the Thar Desert. If you're still in India, I can suggest some historical and beautiful places you can search online to see how beautiful they are. Ladakh, North Sikkim, Meghalaya, Lakshadweep Islands, Arunachal Pradesh, Aru Valley, Sonamarg, Pahalgam, Spiti Valley, Sangla Valley, Parvati Valley, Kalpa, Dharamshala, Dalhousie, Kerala, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Auroville, Nagaland, Jaisalmer, Gokarna, Rann of Kutch, and Hampi are some of the best places you should visit in India. Additionally, here are some of the best historical buildings India has ever produced: Phugtal Monastery, Ajanta and Ellora Caves, Khajuraho Temples, Key Monastery, Tawang Monastery, Badami Caves, Konark Sun Temple, Rani Ki Vav, Barabar Caves, Living Root Bridges in Meghalaya, Harihar Fort, Prabalgad Fort, Dharmarajeshwara Temple, Karnala Fort, Raigad Fort, Gwalior Fort, Basgo Monastery, Mahabodhi Temple, Nalanda University, Sanchi Stupa, Brihadeeswarar Temple, Mehrangarh Fort, Amber Fort, Statue of Unity, and Jaisalmer Fort. If you're looking for a relaxing island experience in India, then consider visiting the Lakshadweep Islands or Andaman and Nicobar Islands. They have crystal-clear blue waters and white sand beaches that are much better than any other beaches in India. My top 5 recommendations definitely include Ladakh, North Sikkim, Meghalaya, Andaman Islands, and Pahalgam or Spiti Valley.

India has everything - beaches, mountains, deserts, snow, wild life safaris - everything! And, some of them look like what you could never imagine to exist anywhere. Did you know that India has a tribe that hasn't yet discovered fire? Yes, fire, they don't know what it is.

Honestly Dev I (Robyn) relate to you 100% when it comes to anxiety around the beginning of travels! Especially in a new area of the world 🤗 No matter how many trips I've done, it takes me a while to feel comfortable with all the unknowns that come around travelling! So I appreciate you being open and honest with the reality of it ❤

Hi Keith and Dev, South Goa is like a Tropical Paradise in India. Everything looks amazing there and the Sunsets are gorgeous. It must be so funny to randomly walk down the street and see a Cow just out chilling. I wonder if someone is responsible to feeding them or if they fend for themselves. They look a little on the thin side but I guess that is normal there. They believe in Reincarnation so the Cows could be there Great Great Grandfather or Grandmother. Enjoy following your journey so keep up the good work.

Hey Ben, thanks for watching the video, we are so happy you enjoyed it. We actually looked up the cows and apparently there are a lot of street cows as they get abandoned when they are not need anymore, or done there job. Not sure that’s just what the internet told us 🤷‍♀️

If you want to see hundreds of waterfalls, cloud covered landscape, root bridge a feat of human bio-engineering of thousands of years, wettest place on planet earth, clean rivers and lakes where you can literally see your reflection in the water, caves, mountains, cleanest village in Asia then visit the state called Meghalaya. It's in the north-east region of India. Every state in that region is beautiful. You call also visit Sikkim which is the most civilized city of India, no traffic honkings, no rash driving, less population, clean streets, amazing sunrise and sunsets, lots of cafes. Then there is nagaland, arunachal pradesh and Assam (world's largest riverine island, one horned rhino population, tea gardens etc etc). The food of the north eastern region of India is unlike any other region of India. It isnt spicy or oily. Very very different might remind you of South east asian cuisine a bit. Also some really cool festivals/ music festivals take place there like orange festival, ziro festival, weekender in shillong. Check places like wari chora (might remind you of jurassic park).
