US Woman Asks For 'Safe Location' Before Coming To India. Internet Helps

Before moving to India, a 24-year-old woman from the US sought recommendation on which city she should choose. Taking to Reddit, the anonymous user shared her preferences for living in India, further adding that she will be moving for a year and will work remotely. “I am a 24F from the USA and moving to India for a year. I will be working full-time remotely. I have many hobbies and want to visit other parts of India during the year, but I would like to have a home base in one safe location.

Many users engaged with her while suggesting their views, opening a discussion.

Continuing further, the woman highlighted her knowledge about both cities. She observed that while Mumbai is a highly populated, bustling cosmopolitan city that never sleeps and where people are generally respectful and warm, Goa is known for being super green and calmer but has a significant tourist presence. The 24-year-old noted that Goa’s housing seemed more suited to her preferences.

Additionally, the woman also looked forward to a place where she could do archery, acro yoga, martial arts, Pilates, indoor rock climbing, hiking, camping, swimming, and other outdoor activities.

In a bid to clear her doubts, many dropped various responses and suggestions. Many users suggested she divide her time between Goa and Mumbai to experience different lifestyles and then make a decision.

A user wrote, “Bombay is the city for you. It has everything activity-wise.”

While another commented, “It completely depends on the kind of life you choose to live since you’re shifting here, both of them are gonna be tough, but Mumbai is a very fast-paced city, and at the same time, Goa is a slow life.”

“I’d say stay in Mumbai, first visit Goa in between, and see what suits you best. As per your hobbies and activities you’re interested in, I think Mumbai would suit you better,” another comment read.

A user added, “Depends on what your profession too, no? You should also see if there is a work community too. Most likely, you should get all of it in Mumbai. Goa is usually a place to de-stress.”
