I'm going alone. How to store money properly? I ate on the beach, I go swimming and where to leave them? Run to the room? Is it safe to store in a safe? I go without cards with cash. Any advice for singles?
None of the suggestions was found for my question, I chose active tours.

I want to goa. Decided to get three. It was painted very beautifully, although I thought about going to other hotels and chose fives. I’m going to India for the first time. I chose Soul Vacation Resort & Spa 3 based on super reviews, but I haven’t bought it yet. I can’t imagine how to walk with money and leave it on the beach. I also don't want to run around. I ruled out the five because it seems to me it makes no sense to pay for more comfortable rooms if you don’t eat at the hotel. Better to spend the difference on something else.

1. People get to know each other very quickly in Goa. So you will not be alone for a long time, unless, of course, you want to.
2. Carry only the necessary amount with you, the rest in the safe with documents
3. In India, a month ago, they carried out a monetary reform, exchangers work intermittently. Money changers try to slip old banknotes. Be careful. It is better to take cards, you can withdraw money from an ATM, pay in large stores.
Good luck and you will be happy

In GOA they don't steal during the day, they steal only at night. There is practically no theft on the beach. Well, at least I don't know of any. If only one of the tourists ... this can not be ruled out, of course. Local - out of the question. How many times she left her backpack open, where her wallet was visible and left, no one took anything. But crows are still infections. A couple of years ago, they cut my glasses, literally on the first day. Two days later, she stole my hair tie. Moreover, I noticed this in time and even managed to shoot her with a slipper, so she dodged in flight, like a real pilot, but did not release the hairpin ((.
Tip - change as many small dollars as possible if you are carrying cash. For $20, $50. They, at least, can pay for something inexpensive (food, for example), and you will also be given small change (100.50 rupees). I returned only a week ago from GOA, there is no money in ATMs ((That's real, no. I traveled around half of Margao. But
You can pay by card in many restaurants (and sometimes in shek).

I, too, just recently returned from India, GOA south, and I often watched when lonely travelers left things in their neck and calmly went for a swim. You can not even ask for things to look after, they are in any case under supervision.

Thanks everyone for the replies and advice. So you can leave your wallet or things in the neck to the owner and everything will be all right? In the summer we were in Turkey, two towels were stolen, I’m 100% sure that they weren’t Turks, but then there were three of us and someone went swimming, and someone followed for things. I also want to ask, is it possible to ride alone in a taxi and walk around the city or is it better to hang out near the hotel?

I looked at so many hotels and among the five-star hotels I did not see reviews of shops or shops. I would like that they were nearby, I don’t really want to ride alone in a taxi. I found this hotel, it seems to be nearby and there are pharmacies and shops and pharmacies. I really wanted to see the ocean. Maybe there is no difference externally - the ocean or the sea, but I have never swum in the ocean, but I would like to. I wonder if there is a difference?

Goa is not Egypt. One can move around completely safely, including at night.
Another tip - take a flashlight and a fumigator with you ... or a funigator .. I don’t know how to do it right. This time the mosquito ate me right there. Because You will have dinner in most cases on the shore, then you will have to return in the dark. This moment doesn’t bother me, but I know that for some reason many people don’t walk along the beach without a flashlight .. Apparently, it’s a matter of habit.

For some time now I have been disappointed in a hotel holiday specifically in GOA. In fact, the room is needed only to sleep. You can rent a great guesthouse for $15. The question is, why overpay for a hotel, in which, in general, everything is the same. Well, except for breakfast. And breakfasts 3 * -4 *, not to mention 2 *, leave much to be desired. Well, for me, at least. It is much tastier and more pleasant to have breakfast on the beach .. True, coffee there sucks everywhere ((.

TAISS, thanks for the advice. It's easier for me to live in a hotel. And nature is the most important thing for me.) It would not be bad for the food to be delicious, I have a coffee machine, if anything, I will drink good coffee at home later.)

I also wanted to ask if you know what the locals like? What gifts to bring them. I have heard about Alena. Cigarettes probably... what else? I always bring all sorts of gifts, I myself am pleased to give them or treat them with yummy treats.

I always take my friends our chocolate "Slava" (porous) and .... raw-smoked sausage like "Braunschweig")). But these are friends, and they eat meat. And so, purely a sign of attention and good location - there is enough chocolate, it is always met with a bang. Then I also bring Richmond cigarettes (they are brown, like twisted from real tobacco), thin, cherry. Tobacco in India is mmm...the same as coffee, in a word. In general, the people in GOA are good and kind. More and more learns Russian, so there are no language problems. I think that you will like and remember the rest, and you will fall in love with GOA like me - you will get good friends, you will come 2 times a year)). Have a good rest and don't be afraid!

Thank you very much.) I decided to choose a different direction - North Goa. In the south, as I understand it, they are already sleeping in the evening.) There are few shops, there are no markets nearby. I want to visit Baga beach. They write more interesting and more fun there .. South, as I understand it, this is PARADISE, but I still have time to go there.) What do you say?

At one time I went to the north ... yes .... it has its own flavor, I don’t argue .. But I somehow already outgrew all this. I want peace .. It's just that the work is extremely stressful, so I also strain on vacation .. There you just have to communicate a lot, and this has already begun to strain me. And then, the south will be cleaner, and there will be incomparably fewer people. There is a feeling of complete desertion, peace and freedom. I just need this.

They write that Goa is far from India, not seeing even a small reality of it, I still don’t want to be behind a beautiful fence. Cows, dogs and people ........... all this must be seen and felt for yourself.) There are no shops, markets, restaurants nearby near expensive hotels. I need to go somewhere far alone. I found two hotels that, according to the description, are with shops, etc. I would like to see the smallest Indian state of Goa at least a little as it really is. If you don't like it, I'll choose the south next time

In general, there were reports that in December the GOA plans to completely switch to cashless payments.
how realistic it is to do it quickly in practice - I doubt it, to be honest ..
And a little geographical secret - the oceans are made up of seas)

Well, it’s unlikely that everyone will be able to switch to cashless payments .... the same fruit shops, necks ... I’m sure that, as with currency exchange, there will be a bunch of places where they will calmly accept cash for settlement.

Together we recall the school geography course - if part of the ocean is separated by land from three sides, then this is called the sea. In fact, it's all ocean. So it's a pure formality, invented for ease of navigation, and not only. Have a good day everyone!

Sargasovo is an exception, yes. But this part of the ocean received the status of "sea", based on the conditions of the bottom topography. As well as the fact that one sea can be a component of another. Like all the seas of the Mediterranean.
By the way, for example, Sri Lanka. Indian Ocean, no sea. And it’s already problematic to swim, she barely took her legs once. So, well, nafik all these open oceans, the seas are somehow safer))

I study reviews for days on end and almost everyone writes that the waves there are still the same. I love the Aegean Sea, where I was in hotels, you can swim and swim, the water is like in a lake with almost no waves. I decided on a hotel, right by the water (I don’t specify the sea or ocean.)

All this pampering, sir)) Go to the guest house!)) This time we rented an excellent guest house, 100 meters from the sea - $ 15. I didn’t even bargain, as I saw a chic balcony, or rather a second room with a table, chairs and a hanging rocking chair with a gorgeous view of nature.

Well, if the issue is not the price and the North, also look at Santana Beach, there are 2 beaches near Sinkerim and Candolim. The hotel is calm, wonderful, suitable for all types of recreation, a lot of things nearby, and pharmacies too)
But expensive and very popular, it is difficult to catch a place in it, you can only advance.
