A conscious traveller’s guide to #travel etiquette in #Goa

Appreciate Susegad

Goans are content and happy with what they have.

Consider this to be more of a pro-tip than a guideline, when in Goa: Slow down and enjoy the leisurely pace of life. Embrace the relaxed Goan lifestyle and avoid rushing or over-scheduling your trip.

Known for its nightlife and beaches, #Goa sees a surge in tourists in December, especially between Christmas and NYE. What seems to be an innocent getaway to visitors, often turns into a week-long ruckus for Goans who are increasingly being subjected to the perils of overtourism

5. Give Goan cuisine a try

“Dishes I grew up with are vanishing from menus because tourists stick to the kind of food they are used to and many old eateries are shutting. The local cuisine also includes a variety of vegetarian dishes ppl can try,” says Margao native Shalakha
