Hey everyone! Hope you are well 😊Today's video isn't very action packed and is pretty chill compared to usual.. but I hope you enjoy it regardless, they can't all be full of action! I seem to be getting quite a lot of unnecessary and unwarranted negative and hateful comments from people in India.. I'm not sure why as I have only been positive in these videos 😅 If you watch this please leave a nice comment down below, let me know why you liked the video or any suggestion for my next trip to India? I really want to go to the North East. Look forward to reading them all! Much Love as always ❤
I'm an indian & i watch all your vlogs and I'm sorry from those who comment that you speak negative abt india cuz you don't & I'm pretty sure they don't watch your vlogs and judging. honestly i really enjoy your vlogs 😮💨
Bro you should visit uttrakhand, himachal in North india and also north eastern states sikkim, Assam, arunachal, meghalaya, mizoram , nagaland, Manipur n tripura you will like this state's alot ❤ . I honestly like ur vlogs a lot@@TheJourneyofJosh
well bro indians can be different nature nd many youtubers make bad content about india so people can't differentiate between them nd uh so uh shouldn't worry we r supporting ur channel as uh make interesting videos nd ur a gud guy naturally ignore the negative ones
India is a nation with the highest diversity. In Goa, people do not typically greet each other with "namaste." Instead, we often use a casual "hello" or the local phrase "kaysh hain" (how are you?).
Well if you go to places like Sikkim and Meghalaya you will be further shocked. Sikkim has the best civic sense in India along with some of the most beautiful landscapes with no pollution. Meghalaya has gorges, crystal blue lakes (check/google umiam lake, dawki), caves, rainiest place on planet earth (mawsyram), cleanest village in asia (mawlyngong), living root bridge (will remind you of bridge of terrabithia or something out of a fantasy movie), foggy landscapes, only state that has matrilineal culture, sacred groves, etc. When it comes to food it will blow your mind and your idea about indian food will change. Style of cooking is very different more closer to south-east asia rather than south-asia, ingredients are different, more non vegetarians. Pork is actually one of the most consumed meat in the whole of north-east region. Different languages, tribes , cultures, music festivals. If you travel to tawang in arunachal you will find snowy landscape. Also at a very high altitude. Places are clean. Also you won't find scammers as such
@@BeijaminRebelo bro goa was not portuguese it was captured by them and they left in 1960. goa is developed for foreign friendly from start it was freed thats the main reason dont give all credit to portuguese
@@abhhishekupadhyay3614 It is true that goa was more developed then the rest of india when it was retaken though so we've gotta give some credit to the portuguese
This Was Goa in every part before Indian tourist influx. Clean beautiful and peaceful. The time when Goa was heaven. This is what foreign tourists came to experience
I suggest you some places you should visit 1) dudesagar waterfall this waterfall is 300 feet and big you should visit and also check out video of that waterfall. 2) old goa
Goa was a Portuguese colony, and even when the British left in 1947, the Portuguese were reluctant to leave. Then, when push came to shove, the Indian Army moved in the early 1960s. The Goans have their own language. Most of the people you met were from the northeast and Nepal.
In 1954 Nehru forces murdered 4 Damanese policeman and illegally took over Dadra Nagar Haveli. Push come to shove it was the Soviet veto that kept Nehru in Goa.
Hey Josh, please remember that when you visit India means you are basically visiting 32 different countries in a country. Goa is one of western country in India with its European lining in its mixed type of state. Rest is for you to discover. Have fun.
Thank you Josh for visiting Goa..Welcome, we goans speak English,Konkani and Hindi too.. U have visited the best time of the year. Hoping you will treat youurself to real authentic Goan Food, Rice and fish curry, Rechado Bangado, chicken xacuti,..in sweets, Bebinca,.. Doce, and other delicacies .. I see pure joy in ur videos.. Hoping that u have a good time with Goan food and hospitality.. Yes Goa has the best beaches in the South..Tk cre
Hi Josh, I am Indian but was born and brought up in North London. My Family are originally from North Goa. The beaches in north Goa have been spoilt and are for the two week get absolutely pissed and rave tourists. You are much better off in the South of Goa. Although visiting the Capital of Goa, Panjim, right on the River Mandovi is definitely worth a day out. Goa used to be a Portuguese colony , so the elderly speak Portuguese and we also have our own language called Konkani, like every state in India has their own language. But most Goan people also understand English and Hindi, but not all. Visit Margao, the biggest town in South Goa and you will see how Goan people live and work. Visit the market there. I don’t think people are purposely being rude to you, they probably don’t understand Hindi. Goan people have Christian names and Portuguese Surnames like Bruno Fernandes and are of the Catholic faith. Enjoy Goa and stay safe. You will also enjoy Kerala and the boats, absolutely brilliant and they too have their own Indian language. Anything else I can help you with let me know. Enjoyed your video. Ian.😊
@@BeijaminRebelo Goa belonged to Portugal for over 400 years. In Portugal it might be called a “territory”, but in the U.K. it is known as “colonies”. Sorry if that upset you using the wrong terminology 🙏🏽
@@ianf5285there's a difference between colony and territory. Brazil was a colony of Portugal whereas Goa was a territory. Goa had equal status since it was a territory.
North Goa is also good brother I'm from calangute......by any chance is Bruno your relative or something???n in North Goa the konkani is different in south goa is sashti Konkani
Thank you for this video! I will go to India in 3 days and I am already really excited. It will be my first time and after visiting some places in the north I will also come to Goa before the journey will end in Kerala. I loved to see the impressions, thank you much for this.
Hey Josh, I am Goan, and I live in Panjim. Nice video... Most people in Goa speak English, which works better most of the time. You were getting strange looks because of the Hindi... The local language (Konkani) or English is fine. I realised every time you spoke in Hindi, the locals were switching to English, and you kept going back to Hindi, and many answered back in English. There is a lot happening in North Goa for sure... partying is a choice. There are some nice quiet places as well. South Goa has the best beaches and local food. I did not see you try the Goan delicacies. You should try pork and beef items, Goa pork sausages, chicken cafreal, vindaloo and so much more. Panjim is nice... but a lot of roads are being dug up at the moment...
Hey ☺️ thanks for the information! I’ve been told many times now but didn’t know when filming this video. I was getting dirty looks from people I didn’t even say a word to actually, however I’m not saying every goan is like that 😆 Unfortunately I got sick so didn’t get to try much good, but check my channel and you’ll see I at least got a try a goan fish curry 😊
@@TheJourneyofJosh, I will surely check out your other videos. Feels good when we see others enjoy our land and culture. The atmosphere in north Goa is a lot more friendly. At times, wishing unknown people on the streets a simple 'good morning' is the best form of initial interaction. We do that a lot here a lot...
@@abhhishekupadhyay3614because local people are fed up of hindi States people due to their lack of civic sense and their inability to learn and local culture and language....so they subconsciously blames Hindi language....its my personal observation..
I'm in Goa too atm, the changeup from Mumbai to Goa is pretty wild. It looks like you found a much more chill area than me though. Checkout the Gratitude cafe, amazing vegan food there.
In Goa konkanni is the local dialect with 3-4 variations depending upon culture, 1-2 variation konkanni spoken includes portuguese words. a local greeting of kesso asa or kohho asa mean's hello replied with boro asa or ghott mean's am good or gud 👍 ( it's more of a jostling language ) locals prefer english over hindi ( locals speak konkanni and english ) cheer's - should prbly try out local cusine - pork vindaloo, chicken cafreal , chicken shakuti , beef/ buffalo chilli, steak , pork sorpotel, pork suasages etc
My first trip to Goa was in 1980, my last in 2004. The visa situation became to complicated. I cycled all over India. In Goa it was the perfect way of transport. I usually stayed 3 months. I miss it.
Mabuhay josh! Driving and exploring around is very relaxing, in addition of beautiful ocean along with the sunset❤ Your tiredness is worth it😊 More videos ahead. Ingat💓
Lovely vlog on Goa thank you. In Goa, Goan people speak the local language called Konkani, Likewise in Kerala, Malayalam is widely spoken. Namaste kaisha hai came to Goa after the intervention of the the British created Indian army action in December 1961 when the Portuguese presence in Goa ended. In fact it was a Soviet veto which kept the namaste kaisa hai in Goa. It is one of the most blatant aggression recorded in modern history. Today Goa is basically inundated with Namaste. Most of the Goans have left Goa to the UK to better their lives. Large tracts of lands are sold to the northerners of India, as Goa is now losing its identity what was once known as 'the Rome of the East".
My guy ignored 2 women checking him out at 36:52 because he wanted to play football. That's a real homie right there 😂. Enjoy your time brother absolutely enjoyed your content🥳
I hope this one is good enough 😅 I had many plans for other videos but I got bad food poisoning the morning after filming this.. 😔 So unfortunately I couldn't properly explore like I wanted to. I will have to come back in the future
Brother i think you can go to arambol beach foreigner's love it because arambol is for hippy people or meditating people and soo many people also do party's there. Love from Rajasthan India ❤
A few more tips about Goa Josh, Two States in India prefer Football to cricket, Goa and Bengal. You are not swimming in the Goan or Indian Ocean, you are swimming in the Arabian Sea. Being a Costal State try the Goan fish dishes, delicious and World famous. Goans also eat meat, pork, chicken, fish and beef, but the latter is harder to eat as the cow is a sacred animal in India. Indian restaurants won’t serve beef, but Goan Restaurants will, try the Goan beef chilli fry with chips, spicy but you will love it. Ian

Josh in India after you finish drinking the coconut water , give back the coconut shell back to the seller and he or she will split it open . And you get to eat the coconut meat.
I wad few days at same beach Paloleam.. You covered the good vibes. I enjoyed the low tides of this beach, local beer Peoples too Josh. You might like it 💙
To go with the Indian sweets you need a tea with no sugar. The sweets are very very sweet. When you eat Lunch have a tali. Tell them not to hot ie chilly. Have also a yogurt drink. Milk cake, the diamond shape is Cashew nut fudge. Gulub Jumun, ie milk balls saturated in syrup. 420 rupees is a little steep for a roti and drink. You got taken. Look at the menu and the price. People are very dishonest so ask before you buy. Goa is known for its famous beaches, culture, climate, and historical places. You may find colourful architecture, lush greenery, and breathtaking beaches here. Goa is a perfect blend of Portugal and Indian culture. People get attracted to this place to experience world-class music, dance, and sunset. Goa is a state on the southwestern coast of India within the Konkan region, geographically separated from the Deccan highlands by the Western Ghats. It's like Hawaii but a thousands times cheaper. The Goans are very friendly people. But this is in Benaulim. It's refreshing to see you. Good job.
Since you are at palolem..suggest you go to Cabo de Rama beach.. it has Arabian sea on one side and backwaters on the other side.. have a few drinks @ theCape.. its a restaurant built onto to side of the hill
best beaches in Goa-Palolem, Patnem, Agonda, Butterfly, Anjuna. South Goa is way better than North Goa. please try to visit Dudhsagar Falls in South Goa. North Goa is for party and South Goa is for relaxing.
Come to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, blue water and white sand beach especially Radha Nagar beach at swaraj dweep island formerly known as Havelock Island
Hey Josh! Good day bro!!! I hope you can go back to the Philippines and explore more of the countries beautiful islands. I've been you subscriber since you visited the Philippines.. Take care bro and God bless.
Hi 👋 josh if you go to kerela you must visit munnar, the beautiful tea plantations the cool cloudy climate you will have a great fun over there. Thank you for exploring india.Btw I am from Andhra Pradesh 😅❤. You must try a fruit called sitaphal in india
@@TheJourneyofJosh I am saying, come to Himachal Pradesh once, you will not regret it, and it is so beautiful, do visit it this time, if you don't believe it then check on Google once how beautiful Himachal Pradesh is
India isn’t just Hindi. Every state has its own native language based on which states are formed in India so when you go to particular state speak English or native language. In Goa it’s Konkani or English not Hindi so you got weird stares from locals.
Always take a video of the vehicle before hand from all sides cause sometimes while returning they can ask for damages which were already there from the start
As an Indian, I feel compelled to warn fellow travelers about Goa. Over the years, it has become a city deeply rooted in scams, making it far from the paradise it once was. From the notorious taxi mafia charging exorbitant fares to booking scams in accommodations and water sports, tourists are constantly at risk of being cheated. Worse still, there are numerous reports of serious crimes, including harassment, assault, and even cases of rape or murder involving unsuspecting tourists. The lack of accountability and safety makes it a destination where caution should be your top priority. For a safer, cleaner, and more welcoming experience, I recommend exploring other destinations in India. Beaches in Kerala, Karnataka, or the Andaman Islands, along with mountain regions in the Northeast, offer unmatched beauty, hospitality, and peace of mind. Travel wisely and stay safe!
My people in goa are very friendly the spoken languages are konkani English n Portuguese ...so next time learn some greetings in konkani or greet us in English. Not everywhere in India u go n speak Hindi n then u complain people are not friendly.
I wasn’t complaining, I was making an observation. Doesn’t really matter what language I’m speaking in, if someone clearly is just saying hello and is smiling, clearly not a local so might not understand.. then it’s rude to ignore them.. in any country.. I also never said it was every person in Goa
Bro come to andamans and nicobar islands of india..... You will get the tropical beach paradise here with white sand blue sea beaches and lot of greenery. ❤❤❤
Hi, Josh, I know it's just random but I would really want you to explore the northeastern parts of India, There are 8 states and u can start with Meghalaya. I'm sure that this place will not disappoint you as it's worth visiting. You will get to witness, lakes, mountains, caves and many more exciting places, and even the view of the sunrise from the Nongjrong view point You can also have the nice vibe of the Shillong city as its a good place to shop where u can get some gud quality ManU jerseys.😊 This is what I can recommend to you.
@@TheJourneyofJoshbecause apparently india has become expensive due to it's growth and now people are going to cheaper countries like Vietnam and Philippines 😭😭

India is a nation with the highest diversity. In Goa, people do not typically greet each other with "namaste." Instead, we often use a casual "hello" or the local phrase "kaysh hain" (how are you?).
I see! That makes more sense now.. 😆 Thanks for the information 😁
You can say baro mare patrao!!
Not just Goa, but stick to saying hello in almost every part of India. Hardly anyone says Namaste.
Just say Aee fodya. It means Hii Brother

Well if you go to places like Sikkim and Meghalaya you will be further shocked. Sikkim has the best civic sense in India along with some of the most beautiful landscapes with no pollution.

You gotta try Burger Factory in Morjim, The Best Burgers in Goa and alongside an amazing Felix Beach. Absolute must visit.

There's one in anjuna too
Josh in India after you finish drinking the coconut water , give back the coconut shell back to the seller and he or she will split it open . And you get to eat the coconut meat.
Yeah they do that everywhere in Asia 😊 I had already walked away though haha. Thanks for the tip though!
Hey josh you came to goa you should visit old goa unesco heritage... And the st francis body exposition is going on right now
I wad few days at same beach Paloleam.. You covered the good vibes. I enjoyed the low tides of this beach, local beer Peoples too Josh. You might like it 💙
Your vlog flow like river....❤
Glad you think so, thanks so much! ❤️
To go with the Indian sweets you need a tea with no sugar. The sweets are very very sweet. When you eat Lunch have a tali. Tell them not to hot ie chilly. Have also a yogurt drink. Milk cake, the diamond shape is Cashew nut fudge. Gulub Jumun, ie milk balls saturated in syrup. 420 rupees is a little steep for a roti and drink. You got taken. Look at the menu and the price. People are very dishonest so ask before you buy. Goa is known for its famous beaches, culture, climate, and historical places. You may find colourful architecture, lush greenery, and breathtaking beaches here. Goa is a perfect blend of Portugal and Indian culture. People get attracted to this place to experience world-class music, dance, and sunset. Goa is a state on the southwestern coast of India within the Konkan region, geographically separated from the Deccan highlands by the Western Ghats. It's like Hawaii but a thousands times cheaper. The Goans are very friendly people. But this is in Benaulim. It's refreshing to see you. Good job.
That Goan lady was so sweet
Love u josh lots of love from Nepal 🇳🇵 ❤❤❤
Much love brother ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing video! Makes me want to go back to Goa again. Left a sub. You should visit Arambol 🙌🏼
You are from Manchester so Red or 💙💙💙
Gotta be Red 😁
@TheJourneyofJosh Oh man hell no 🤣🤣
God bless bro enjoy your life
Since you are at palolem..suggest you go to Cabo de Rama beach.. it has Arabian sea on one side and backwaters on the other side.. have a few drinks @ theCape.. its a restaurant built onto to side of the hill
Thanks for the great suggestions!
Bro should visit ( Varkkala and kovalam)

If iced lemon ginger honey has honey in it, then it's not vegan

I hope it doesn't disappoint! 🫢
Berry berry good
THATS THE BEAUTY OF INDIA MY BROTHER. ONE COUNTRY DIFFERENT VIBES. ARE YOU PLANNING TO VISIT HIMACHAL PRADESH OR NORTH INDIAN STATES?
Really nice, hard to beleve india without pollution and loud noises. but this looks peaceful and nice. Almost like thailand or sri lanka even.
Cause Goa was Portuguese as we are
Goa is paradise
Hope u are having a great time there Josh ☺️ BTW nice piercings. Goan here 🍻🤗
Thanks for the kind words friend ☺️🙏
i stayed there at cocos beach resort, on the beach side. what a wonderful experience it was.
best beaches in Goa-Palolem, Patnem, Agonda, Butterfly, Anjuna. South Goa is way better than North Goa. please try to visit Dudhsagar Falls in South Goa. North Goa is for party and South Goa is for relaxing.
So many to choose from! At least I went to two of the best ☺️
Come to Andaman and Nicobar Islands, blue water and white sand beach especially Radha Nagar beach at swaraj dweep island formerly known as Havelock Island
I’ve never heard of any of them! I’ll have to look them up for my next trip ☺️
@TheJourneyofJosh The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are union territory of India
India is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world. Its under advertised.
bro you must come visit the city of patna in the state of bihar india, bihar is a populous state in india
Really? Many Indians have told me to stay away from Bihar 😅 Maybe I’ll try it
@@TheJourneyofJosh as a bihari u are not ready for bihar
Bro Bihar is not for beginners 😂
Level India - Difficult
Level Bihar- ultra max pro difficult 😅🤣@@TheJourneyofJosh

One more suggestion for you Josh - Go to Kola Beach! Its my personal favourite in South Goa ❤
That was on my list but I got sick.. next time ❤️
nice videos bruhh uh r nice guy keep visiting different parts of india uh will get something different but yeah be alert of some scammers
Thanks so much for the positivity bro! Still quite a few different places to come! Always alert for scammers, but some of them are too good 😂
Great to visit Goa..
Yes! I’ll have to come back again
Welcome in goa bro ❤
I'm from south goa
You have to try Andaman and Nicobar islands it has a long British history
You cool attitude will make you millions of subscribers 😊
In Goa visit bondla wildlife sanctuary
Thanks for the suggestion!
Hey Josh! Good day bro!!! I hope you can go back to the Philippines and explore more of the countries beautiful islands. I've been you subscriber since you visited the Philippines.. Take care bro and God bless.
Hey brother! Philippines season 2 is coming in early Jan when the India series is over 😉 God bless
Hi 👋 josh if you go to kerela you must visit munnar, the beautiful tea plantations the cool cloudy climate you will have a great fun over there. Thank you for exploring india.Btw I am from Andhra Pradesh 😅❤. You must try a fruit called sitaphal in india
You really don’t have to namaste, unless you wanna marry their daughter. 😅 Hello is the most common way to greet in India 😊
Sweet name
Kaju katli made Cashew nuts.
Milk cake .
U choose a right place ..
Come to himachal pradesh its very cold here u also love snowfall here

@@TheJourneyofJosh in northwest region
@@TheJourneyofJosh I am saying, come to Himachal Pradesh once, you will not regret it, and it is so beautiful, do visit it this time, if you don't believe it then check on Google once how beautiful Himachal Pradesh is
India isn’t just Hindi. Every state has its own native language based on which states are formed in India so when you go to particular state speak English or native language. In Goa it’s Konkani or English not Hindi so you got weird stares from locals.
So you from Red side or Blue side of Manchester ? GGMU.
🔴🔴🔴🍻
bro you should travel to andaman niconar island or lakshdweep they are better than goa
Many people have said! I will put it on my list thanks 😁
SORRY FOR THE CAPS I AM PARTIALLY SIGHTED
however, the best beaches of India are in Andamans and Lakshadweep islands.
So I’ve heard! Will have to check them in the future ☺️
Always take a video of the vehicle before hand from all sides cause sometimes while returning they can ask for damages which were already there from the start
I did 😊 I have rented a scooters hundreds of times now. Thanks for looking out!
@ u must be knowing this but fyi avoid hiring white number plates
Hi. Just a suggestion, try going to Dona Paula beach. Quite a few bollywood movies have been shot there. It's a very scenic tourist attraction. 🎉❤
As an Indian, I feel compelled to warn fellow travelers about Goa. Over the years, it has become a city deeply rooted in scams, making it far from the paradise it once was. From the notorious taxi mafia charging exorbitant fares to booking scams in accommodations and water sports, tourists are constantly at risk of being cheated.
Worse still, there are numerous reports of serious crimes, including harassment, assault, and even cases of rape or murder involving unsuspecting tourists. The lack of accountability and safety makes it a destination where caution should be your top priority.
For a safer, cleaner, and more welcoming experience, I recommend exploring other destinations in India. Beaches in Kerala, Karnataka, or the Andaman Islands, along with mountain regions in the Northeast, offer unmatched beauty, hospitality, and peace of mind. Travel wisely and stay safe!
Also visit Mallikarjun Temple.
My people in goa are very friendly the spoken languages are konkani English n Portuguese ...so next time learn some greetings in konkani or greet us in English. Not everywhere in India u go n speak Hindi n then u complain people are not friendly.
I wasn’t complaining, I was making an observation. Doesn’t really matter what language I’m speaking in, if someone clearly is just saying hello and is smiling, clearly not a local so might not understand.. then it’s rude to ignore them.. in any country.. I also never said it was every person in Goa
Absolutely, we are Portuguese
Bro come to andamans and nicobar islands of india..... You will get the tropical beach paradise here with white sand blue sea beaches and lot of greenery. ❤❤❤
Many people have said! Thanks so much for the suggestion ❤️❤️❤️
Will u visit Rajasthan?
Yes 😊 Kerala next and then Rajasthan
Hi, Josh, I know it's just random but I would really want you to explore the northeastern parts of India, There are 8 states and u can start with Meghalaya. I'm sure that this place will not disappoint you as it's worth visiting. You will get to witness, lakes, mountains, caves and many more exciting places, and even the view of the sunrise from the Nongjrong view point
You can also have the nice vibe of the Shillong city as its a good place to shop where u can get some gud quality ManU jerseys.😊
This is what I can recommend to you.
Is it safe to visit India alone??
I'd say so yeah, I never felt unsafe
Glad You liked it I watched in news that tourism is declining in Goa.
Oh really? I wonder why that is
@@TheJourneyofJoshbecause apparently india has become expensive due to it's growth and now people are going to cheaper countries like Vietnam and Philippines 😭😭
Come to the Northeast you'll loved it..
Hi mate please drop by Dudhsagar waterfall it's beautiful specially when u take a train mate have a good one ....regards from Somerset
Your hindi is amazing😂❤
Hey I live in Goa. Hope we could meet so that I can show you the Goan culture and places around here. Love your content though
Welcome to Kerala next🌴
Hope you enjoy the Kerala videos!
