Can you imagine what is life without traveling? Is it possible? Whatever your reason is, traveling is a part of people's life. We all travel. The reason behind that is up to you.
There are different reasons why people travels:.
1.) Most People Travel because they want to see their families and friends who live far away. Invitations from families and friends are seldom so you will decide to travel just to see them.
2.) People Travel because they want to see their soul mates. Some people believe that there is only one person for them and if they haven't had much luck searching in their area, they figured it out that even though there are millions of people around the world, they can still find it in other place.
3.) People travel to seek for work because they want to experience how to work from another place. We must admit that earning money is hard and some people decide to work abroad because they are looking for greener pasture. Other place pays bigger rates than their own place. We may also say that their expertise is not favorable in their own place. Unfortunately, they have to leave their families for awhile for a job opportunities abroad.
4.) People travel because they want to learn others cultures. They want to see the difference between their culture and other cultures. They want to learn others culture because for them traveling is fun while learning. One particular thing about the culture is the food. They want to know how food is prepared and how it is done. Obviously, we all love to eat.
5.) People travel because they are writers. They want to give the readers relevant article to their readers especially when they are making story in that particular place.
6.) People travel because they want to see all beautiful scenery of different countries. Others would want to take pictures because it serves as souvenirs.
7.) When opportunity arise, it is hard to decide whether to leave your family and open a business far away your place. Some businessmen would rather put up business in other place because they want gain and it is more profitable than staying in their place. Business is nothing without profit.
Traveling is not only for rich people. Whether you are poor or in the middle class, you can travel as long as it fits your budget. Some travel for their goals, some travel for fun and relaxation and some travel for experience.

The Goan Parties & its Night after Life :-)
Goa has always been known for its ‘Happening’ culture. Nightlife of Goa is a major attraction for the tourists. The beaches are a hotspot for organising parties. Alternatively, hotels, pubs, bars and casinos are also a party spot. Party culture in Goa is supposed to be started by the Hippies during there visit to Goa in 1960s. They found the beaches of Goa perfect for resting in solitude. Nights on these beaches under the moon along with water on one side prompted them to party during night time. Since then, Goa has come a long way in terms of the manner of the party. Earlier parties were organised on festivals, get togethers and at celebration times. Now a days parties have become a sort of compulsions on the beaches of Goa. Tourists and locals need no excuse for a party and music & dance go on for whole night.
The Rave parties of Goa are also said to be started by the Hippies. One of the main form of entertainment of the tourists, the Rave parties are gaining more and more popularity every passing year. Earlier Rave parties meant Loud music, Boozing, and Addictive Drugs abuse. The hippies had a kind of life style which required alcohol, drugs and other illegal consumable items. Slowly the craze of these kind of parties started building up in the youths and the visitors of Goa. Later on, with government interventions and regulatary norms, Drug abuse came down as these were declared illegal by law. In the current scenario, Rave parties in Goa mean ‘Goa Trance music’, Dance, Live bands, great food and occasional boozing. The local music bands of Goa have developed a unique style of music, which is refered to as ‘Goa Trance’. The Rave parties of Goa are also refered as Trance parties.
The growing drug abuse in these Rave parties faced heavy oppositions by the government officials, environmentalists and the local media. Since last few years, they have joined hands over the drug abuse issue and to put a stop to the easy availibility of these drugs. Now it’s only during Christmas and New Year that one can be guaranteed an organised rave on a scale to match Ibiza, Thailand or Miami. For the rest of year normal dance and music Trance parties go on.

With the police demanding higher and higher baksheesh, only establishments that charged entry and sold drinks at extortionate prices could afford to be in the market.
Part of the reason for the rise of discos and night clubs in Goa might be in part due to the boom in Russian tourism, as visitors from Moscow wanted to get dressed up and go somewhere at night, but it was probably inevitable. It's amazing that it took as long as it did for the local gangsters to cash in on the party scene. The first club to really try to muscle in on the trance party movement was the Paradiso, run by some rich guy from Bombay.

Public Transport in Goa
Goa Buses: This is the cheapest mode of transport in Goa. Most of the main towns of Goa are connected by road. The state-run Kadamba Transport Corporation is the main operator, although there are also other private companies. The bus services are frequent, though at times they travel at slow pace, making frequent stops. If you want to travel in comfort board the bus at the bus stand, the destination at bus stands are written in English. Pay your fares in the bus. The Kadamba Transport Corporation has started point-to-point shuttle services to and from Panaji; Ponda; Margao; Vasco-da-Gama; and the tickets to these destinations have to be purchased before boarding the bus.
GOA TRAINS: With the opening of the Konkan Railway, it is possible to travel from Canacona to Pernem enjoying the hidden parts of Goa along the journey.
GOA CAR FOR RENTALS: There are a number of companies that operate self-drive car rentals. Although it is expensive it is worth trying. Several companies have counters at the airport. It is usually cheaper to rent a car and driver for a specific trip. Some hotels provide cars for self-drive.
GOA TAXI FOR HIRE: There are two types of taxis in Goa, one is the black and yellow taxi and the other is the tourist taxi normally found outside hotels and at some beaches. The most common is Maruti van, a Japanese Suzuki minicab or minivan.
GOA MOTORCYCLES FOR RENTALS: Hiring a motorcycle in Goa is easy, and can be found at most of the coastal resorts. Though some travelers wanting to stay for a longer term prefer hiring for a month or two, you still can hire a bike for a day or weekend if you wish to travel from say Anjuna to Palolem for a change. The machines available are Enfield 350 cc, more modern Yamaha 100s and gear-less Kinetic Honda scooters which are more popular. You need an international license to ride in Goa. Some places need your passport and some deposit while a few just ask the name of the hotel you are staying at. On a rented bike you can reach the state's remote beaches and traverse long distances with relative ease. A word of caution, before driving away ensure the lights and brakes are in good shape.
MOTORCYCLE TAXI IN GOA: Goa is probably the only state in India where motorcycles are a licensed form of taxi like available in Bangkok. If you are traveling on your own, this mode of transport is much cheaper. Licensed motorcycles have a yellow painted front mudguard and are found in large numbers throughout the State.

Arjuna: Feel a difference
Anjuna is popular with backpackers, families planning extended stays, and young and old travelers. It has a fairly long, beautiful beach lined with palm trees. It is a little secluded. It is one of the main places in Goa for all-night techno parties. On Wednesdays there is the famous Anjuna Flea Market. Thousands of people come from all over Goa to buy and sell.
Swimming is safer here than at most of the other beaches, especially at the southern end of the beach, where a rocky headway keeps the sea relatively calm. Be careful of rocks when entering the water. This is why you will probably see everyone swimming in the same area on such a long beach.
Tour buses usually park at the north end of the beach, and there is a row of Kashmiri shops and cafes in this area. During lunchtime and in the afternoon, tour buses pull in and Indian tourists get out and walk around the beach.
Theft on the beach can be a problem. Be especially careful of children and vendors. On party nights, you should keep your valuables with you or leave them with the family with whom you are staying. Thieves sometime lift the tiles off houses to break in. The bank has safety deposit boxes.
Information: If you are looking for a room, you could get off at Starco’s Crossroads, near the turnoff to Chapora. Most of the guest houses are located in this area. Near this crossroads are some shops, a motorcycle taxi stand, and it also serves as the bus stand.
Travelcash on the main road east of Starco, about 1km from the beach, changes money at a good rate quickly and efficiently.
Other travel agencies also change money. You can change money at Oxford Stores and the Manali Guest House. Both charge high commissions. You can also go to Vagator and change money at Corporation Bank. The Bank of Baroda, on the road to Mapusa, takes Visa and MasterCard.
The post office, on the road to Mapusa, 1km inland, has an efficient poste restante.
Oxford Stores is a small department store. Western goods, a good selection of vegetables and fruits, and other items. They also sell and process film. Open daily except Sunday 8 am to 8:30 pm. The small department store across the street often has many of the same items but at a lower price, especially fruits and vegetables.
Established travel agencies: Speedy (273-266), near the post office; MGM (274-317), and Travelcash (274-408), just east of the Starco on the main road to Mapusa.
The German Bakery, which is back from the beach, is a good place to eat and also has an excellent shop that has a good selection of hip clothing. There are a few other good shops near the German Bakery which also sell clothes. Near Starco Junction is a good shop selling Tibetan and fairly contemporary clothes.
Dr Manu Shah (4 to 6 pm), practices at the Orgasmic Restaurant. He is an Osteopath, does acupuncture, and practices natural medicine.
You can rent motorbikes at the repair shop about 1km from the beach. There is a place that rents motorbikes across from the German Bakery. You can also ask in the restaurants about renting a motorbike.
You can often get a good massage at the beach here.
Internet accour at Colours, next to Speedy Travel, has good connections and A/C for Rs 40 per hour. Also at Manali guesthouse.
Note: It is common for the police in Anjuna to check foreigners for licenses and insurance.
Anjuna Flea MarketDuring the Wednesday flea market, people come from the beaches all over Goa. There is a large selection of items for sale, and the place has a fascinating atmosphere in its setting amid the palm trees and next to the sea. It is an interesting experience.
If you want to look hip at the all-night parties, this is definitely the place to get outfitted. There is a good selection of clothes (Indonesian styles, etc.) sold or designed by Westerners (they often carry European price tags). You may want to look out for the European-type jewelry made by foreigners, which is often good and cannot be found in any other place in India.
If you plan on buying Rajasthani or Nepali goods, note that the items from these places sold at the flea markets are often double the price you would pay in either Rajasthan or Nepal.
You can get all types of clothes, Nepali goods, Tibetan goods, embroidered items, incense, a good selection of jewelry, semiprecious stones, crystals, fancy knives, handicrafts, hammocks, bedspreads, and other items at the flea market. There are also several people who sell the latest techno tapes, and there are good places to eat Indian, Israeli, or Western food. There are Ayurvedic doctors, professional hair cutters and colorers (foreigners), dreadlocks makers, and nose and body piercers. You can have your hair cut and painted in any style imaginable. You can also have different designs painted on your body which look like tattoos, but which last only a few weeks. I was quoted Rs 150 for temporary henna tattoo, but bargained them down to Rs 50. Even if you don’t purchase anything, you will enjoy walking around. If you do plan to buy, be prepared to bargain hard.
The flea market opens around 8 am and closes at 6 pm. It is busiest in the early afternoon. Fishing boats depart from Baga to the market—Rs 50 for the trip (I bargained a few people down to Rs 30). Tour buses and taxis come from all over Goa.
Where to Stay: The main season is from early November to late March. During the Christmas season it is difficult to get a room in a guest house. If you want to stay during the Christmas-New Year season, it is best to arrange your accommodations in advance or to first go to Calangute or Baga and then make day trips until you can find a place to stay.
Many people stay in houses and cottages, but most houses are booked months in advance or rented year after year to the same people returning during the season. To find a house, ask in the restaurants, as they usually have contacts. You most likely will have to view several houses and to bargain a bit. The longer you plan to stay, the better your bargaining power will be. Houses are rented on a monthly basis. During December and January, prices for houses will be much higher.
The prices given here are for the high season (mid-Dec to late Jan). Other times, prices are thirty to fifty percent cheaper.

Mapusa Market:
Mapusa is synonymous with its Friday Market, including spices of all kinds. You get great bargains here. Fresh fruit, mostly organically grown, is in abundance. That elusive smell that has your nose twitching is Goa's secret ingredient for all those wonderful sweet and sour curries - round lumps of seedless tamarind, or amot as it is known locally, in great demand in traditional Goan kitchens. Get yourself a string of chouriso or Goa's mouth-watering sausages, spiced and marinated in feni. No sausage anywhere else in the world tastes like the Goan chouriso The sausage can be located outside the Mapusa Municipal Market. If you are looking for the essence of Goa, this market is a must-see on your itinerary. The place is a riot of colour and noise. Goan women dressed in their colourful best, come in from surrounding villages to sell their locally grown or ‘manufactured wares, fried, or boiled, or added to an ordinary dish for extra zing. The best part of shopping in the Friday Market is, despite the good bargains, you are still expected to haggle. Never pay the first price asked, whether it is over trinkets, straw hats, dried fish or furniture. The Friday Market winds up by dusk and Mapusa quickly gets back to normal, until the following Friday.

You can take a bus or a motorcycle taxi, or a fisherman's boat from Baga, which is quicker (15 min by boat, 30 min by road). Although you will still find hippies there, it really isn't their market any more. Now dominated by Lambani nomads in their striking clothes and jewelry, and craftspeople from elsewhere in India, the market is a splash of red and orange in a flat clearing above the rocky beach. Bead and white metal bangles, necklaces and earrings, silver toe rings, embroidered shoulder bags, silk and cotton sarongs, and ethnic footwear are among the more ordinary products on sale. If you look carefully, there are all sorts of other things here from used motorbikes of uncertain age to do-it-yourself mehendi (Henna) kits. Buy a crochet bikini, a backless mirror-work top, or a tie-dye bandana to enhance your wardrobe for those really formal occasions, or just sit back at the market bar and down a ridiculously cheap beer while someone braids your hair or you get someone to pierce any part of your anatomy or have a wild tattoo as a signature of your holiday.

Saturday Night Bazaar in Goa
Ingo's Saturday Night Market:
Ingo's Saturday Night Bazaar is a feast and everyone is invited. The fun spot with no cover charge, Ingo's has established itself as a must-visit spot on the Goa landscape.
The moment you reach the vicinity, you can feel the pulse of the place. As you inch closer to Ingos, your car slows down to a snails pace. The parking lot with bikes glistening in the moonlight makes for an amazing backdrop, with bikes ranging from vintage classics, to zippy small things, to world war relics that still move.
