Goa-India

Dimple Champaneria
An accumulation of all my Goa selections, tried and tested, with some suggestions from the locals!- mainly for a 'low-key & laid-back' travel aesthetic. Goa is a favorite destination among foreigners for its relatively low prices for everything - from food to accommodation to drinks. Can you believe you can get a meal and a drink for just £3? Well, it's pretty much that!

Goa offers a laid-back vibe, split between the happening North and the quieter South. I had a really good time exploring the North stretch between Arambhol, Madrem & Ashvem. It's a good balance of tranquility and a buzzing atmosphere. The beaches up there are quite clean, great for a long stroll in comparison to the crowded and dirty stretches of Anjuna & Baga. Trust me; you'll love it.There are so many cool & pretty places to discover in Goa. I am laying down my top picks and suggestion below! Rent a vehicle & get ready for an adventure!!!
