When you answer MM, please try and include some information I need in also taking the steps you have taken: How much monthly budget would you consider necessary to live in Goa comfortably but not extravagantly? Housing expenses not included.

Brian,
I think there are a lot of Goans living abroad who share your sentiments. Can you tell us what made you decide to leave the US. Also, what sort of disappointments and pleasant surprises have you experienced in Goa in terms of your career, social life, day to day chores, finances and overall quality of life. Furthermore, did you consider other parts of India or just Goa and if so why? What sort of pitfalls should an expat look for when planning the move?
I understand some of these questions may be very personal which you may not be willing to answer. I think your insights will be very useful for us expats thinking of moving or returning to Goa/India. I have only vacationed in Goa, moje konkani sucks and I cant drink more than a peg of feni even if my life depended on it, but the charm and chaos of Goa still beckons me.
Marlon (btw, I think we did briefly meet each other at the U of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign)
