- Almost everyone I know associates Goa with beaches, booze & an overall 'good time'. The Goa I know is quite different though. More videos of Ancestral Goa magali.co/goa

Even though I'm born & brought up in Mumbai, I'm Goan by descent. I can trace almost all of my roots back to Loutolim, a village in Salcete, Goa. Growing up, I spent a lot of time in my ancestral home near here. I'm excited to share a bit of this very personal experience with you.
Most of the locations are in Loutolim - Vanxem (a smaller area in Loutolim) & Ambora / Camorlim which is technically not in Loutolim but just adjacent. The drone shots at the river are near Rachol.
I 'vlogged' a bit in Loutolim years ago: • Goa Summer 2014 Vlog (...
This is just the first vlog & there's a second vlog coming up next week.

Magali Vaz great vlog ， village name？
The camera you use and editing software?
This vlog is the equivalent of warm, cosy cuddles in bed on a rainy day! 🌧✨ felt like visiting a friend’s native home. Glad to have witnessed ur personal side more.💕
So inspiring to see a normal and real to life blogger! No fakeness no promotions just speaking honestly from heart!
This is the most AHMAAAZING video ever, I just love the sights, the sounds, everything!!!! Truly immersive. You totally could be a film maker with the way you portray everything, Magali!!
This vlog has been such a treat to the eyes. The rural Goan laid back life so nicely documented. To me this is more of a documentary than a vlog . A your cinematography skills are amazing . Thanks for this one magali. Waiting for the next part with much anticipation.
Omg I just remembered my childhood days in Goa, I am also from a small village in the south of Goa, I remember Zilla bakery been there so many times.. thanks for this vlog I hope u visited The big foot in your next blog.. I have a big smile after watching this vlog thanks once again.
Love how you've added in personalization to your vlog . Loved every bit and your vlog made me so nostalgic! Hoping to collab with you someday when I'm down in Goa! xoxo
I aim to tell a story & share an immersive experience with every single vlog I make. But this is the most personal travel vlog I've made - it's a bit of MY story, my culture & my heritage that I don't share so often. I hope you enjoy it & maybe it'll help you see Goa in a different light?
I also gave my channel a fresh new look - new profile pic, banner & end cards, so do hop on over & check it out

Can I be your guest😍😍
Truly appreciate ! Keep posting 🤘
Very lovely. I've spent many winters in North Goa and this reminds me of the relaxing times I experienced. You are a very good at making Vlogs!
Hi Magali! This is just what I needed in a busy Monday. I managed to take some time out to watch this. The best part about your vlogs is that you make an effort to keep it as real as possible; it makes me feel like I'm experiencing the place live, though I'm watching it on a screen in a completely different setting. I'm talking about small things like the caterpillar, the dogs, cats near the church and the music. Thank you for making this vlog!
Good vibes always,
Jag.
I felt this insane amount of nostalgia right now! Magali, I couldn't stop thinking about my village! Beautiful vlog and definitely a small but positive diversion on how you occasionally make your vlogs
Thanks Magali! Loved the video...Made me so nostalgic. It's been years that I've been to Goa (esp the rural part). No one showcases this part and you did a fantastic job!
Absolutely loving your color aesthetic and your video format, editing, everything! KEEP UP!
Hi Magali thank you for posting a wonderfully made vlog... practically we are neighbours in Goa, as you stay few steps away from my aunts place... she is little familiar to all nearby by the name Emilda Lobo... good to see Jila bakery and the old Jam factory along with the church... it's been ages I haven't visited Ambora... but thanks for your vlog which make childhood memories fresh once again. Keep up the good work girl.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your vlog - great editing and music selection! Also, thanks for showing the rustic Goan essence through the video, something not many people showcase.
This vlog was so calming to watch :) Having visited my own ancestral village a few times i can say that nothing like the pure green untouched life there! Oh and the drone shots are so amazing...i know drones are very new to India, but if you do a video on do's and don't's of a drone, permit disclaimers etc. that might be very helpful? :)
The best 1/2 hour of my day today. Thank you for this sublime video Magali! Reminds me of my days in Goa and makes me go back and remember all the good times. Love ♥️
This was such a lovely video to watch. Thank you for all the effort you put into it!!!
The cinematography in this video is so amazing. Everything from the music to the storytelling and the shots you took were awesome. And both you and your mum are such warm people! Kudos :)
Every evening from 6 to 6.30pm I see your video's with a cup of tea at my balcony...love watching the actual goa with landscape and flush greenery..best part is the background music...it's so relaxing and you portrait it so beautifully..its like I am experiencing the beauty of goa with you♥️♥️♥️keep it up
We enjoyed watching your vlog and the awesome scenery. Looks like you had an awesome time. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
I live in USA now
But I come from small village in Vasai!
Now living in the big city, I crave those simple joys of village life. Your videos touch my heart more. I don’t know when God will bless me to make a decision to slowdown and have a relaxed life
I go to goa every year for the past 5 yrs and sometimes even more. There are so many shades of green. I love how eveything is so green and quite and the cutest houses
Magali you have managed to capture some beautiful moments. Nothing like travelling off the beaten track. Such a different vibe to the usual touristy spots of Goa thats often showcased.
Ur vedio are full of positivity and I love your mom. She is so adorable..more power to u..
Wow... It's a beautiful place...thank u for showing us another side of Goa..
Hello Magali !! You are so blessed to be a Goan ! Such a wonderful and exotic place, and you beautifully articulated it! You showed us the simple calm and serene side of goa. I’m jus amazed! Please do some more videos about south goa ...want to know more about the culture there! Would like to visit the south part of goa again. Hope to see you there ! Keep doing more
Brought back memories of my childhood trip with my dad to our native place,Mangalore,in 1973.Same laid- back village life & house architecture.i,too,frew up in Bombay,so,to go for a holiday was a nice getaway from hectic city life.The old Goa houses definitely show Portuguese influence.The simple Goan rice n curry is reminiscent of the coconut based fish curries my mother prepared for us before the health scare that consumption of coconut is full of saturated fat,80%.Those are very definitely Proditeroles as they have a filling,Eclairs do not.Brilliant vlog,Magali,as always,you are a natural behind the camera,I did not lose focus or interest through your entire narrative.Good job.Btw,that was a 2-toed FROG that you were trying to tap at,on the windshield.
Sorry,2 typos,grew up & Profiteroles***
The most amazing vlog I have evr watched..wd rly mk evry1 nostalgic ab their childhood visits to their native place..
I really love this goa vlog. Every time i feel tired i see this and feel so relaxed and happy. Specially the dogs are so cute. Its so green and nice all around. Lovely.
And you describe everything so well.
Ohhh myyyy gooodddddd i love this vlog!! LOVE!! This has to be my most favorite vlog after your fort kochi series, those will always be my most favorite cuz that's how i got to know you first, by watching you explore fort kochi with your mum. But the goa vlogs are a close second :)
You really changed my perception of goa, I've always seen it in the movies and tv so this vlog showed goa in a new light for me. AND the drone shots!!!!!! Breath taking! Can't wait for part 2 :D
I absolutely love what u do, thank u so much for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Sana
It's really wonderful to see the other side of Goa where generally visitors don't go but it's as exciting as the beaches and where you can actually calm down and breathe and enjoy ! 🌴🏡 It's stunning. Thank you for the vlog Magali , my expectations are getting higher and higher for your travel vlogs. I enjoy it a lot! 🙌
It's a pleasure to see you being with your mom and you two are always doing things together be it watching series or visiting places.. it's so rare and such a blessing.. I miss my mom since we are living in a different countries. But , it's lovely to see you both together 💗
Very original and very very nice! Enjoyed it from first to last. Keep 'em coming.
magali, you have done a beautiful job in this vlog. i remember you took one of your friends to this place. i was hoping you would go back and film this place again and you did. thank you. i really enjoyed watching it.
The best thing about your vlogs is that it tells a real story. This one is no different and it is what makes me come back for more. The background score mixing is great and compliment the drone shots. Well done Magali. BTW, thought it was gum stuck to the car window but this thing had webbed feet. Must be a 🐸.
Can we have more goa vlogs ! 😍 binged watched all the old goa vlogs again after years and they still feel so soothing!
have always loved Goa, esp the local life which had always been very appealing ....nice video
Loved loved the vlog. The scenic and calm beauty of your village took me into an happy feeling thought which I will cherish for long
Thank you Megha! That's definitely the feeling I was hoping to convey. :)
I wish I could teleport right now. Beautiful vlog Magali!
The minute your mom said the name of the church I knew which village it is! we goans do know our villages and towns by the churches and temples😄 Also great vlog! This side of Goa is so home like. This is the real Goa something which most overlook.😊
The churches in Goa were built on the ruins of Hindu temples by the Portuguese invaders. It is so shameful that Goan Hindus are ignorant of the dark past of colonial Goa.

Vlog was so beautiful. Felt like is should be never ending. Niiiicceeee. U r lucky to be a goan
Woah Magali !! U bought back so many memories of goa absolutely loved this vlog. Was so excited to c y'all eat filos it's my fav & so is godshem. I too find evenings in goa kinda creepy & offcourse every other abandoned property is said to b haunted. Stories of the paranormal are in abundance 🙈 all this just adds to the over all eerie feeling. This is the goa that I know & love the areas near the beaches have gotten so urbanised it's just lost its charm... Impatiently waiting for the second part of the vlog ☺️
Hi Magali..I just subscribed...I got to this video of goa after watching your review on braun silk epil...I am from Karachi Pakistan....my grand parents were from goa who settled in karachi ... so I am goan by blood....my parents speak konkani too..loved to see the place where my grand parents lived....I wish to visit goa some day....
Thanks a lot to view the village life of goa, I traveled goa in 2018,at that time I traveled only colangute beach for only one day,but basicly I am a villager from uttarakhand state and love village life any where in India,if shell be able to buy a agricultural land in any village of Goa, I shell deffinet to live their as a farmer.
You are so blessed to still have your mum. Treasure her. The two of you are so down to earth. I wish you or your mum would give out the sorpotel recipe. There are some recipe where people mainly our Goans leave out. When one makes anything it turns out so bad.
It's not our recipe but Inez's actually. She cooks really fast and mostly based on instinct so it's hard to share any recipe. She keeps adding ingredients and tasting, it doesn't even turn out the same each time. But there are of course many lovely channels on TH-cam that share recipes and you can check those out.
Ohh I loved this video! So amazing to see something else than the tourist areas from Goa, looks so beautiful :) We live in Kerala and the nature looks somewhat similar here especially in the rural areas. Love from Kerala
When ever I miss goa the uniqueness showing its beauty 😍
Loved your simplicity and sweet smile. You are a good soul. Love your mum too. x
Lovely video and you make it so lively and interesting , more the so with your lovely smile. Loutolim village has a special place in my heart as my mom had lots of friends here and during our childhood we would come here quite often for house parties and visits. Still beautiful and largely untouched still. Hope it remains that way.
The soundtrack was just purrfect and a 🍒 on this vlog!😻 And you wore u favourite pair(i remember u mentioning it in your older videos🙈)of shoes throughout this vlog!
Ur vlogs as well as travel vlogs are a delight to watch magali!! Really appreciate your effort of delivering such great vlogs to ur viewers. Wish the vlog would just go on and on. Loved it to bits. Thanks for sharing :). Lots of love from Calcutta
Finally got to see this, loved the drone shots
OMG. Your mum has become a pro vlogger. I love her so much. Aunty please come on camera more often you rocked it. If you come more often there'll be godgod (thunder) on Magali's channel. This vlog was a treat to your viewers Magali. I was drooling over that Goan food (you know why). Love you both heaps 💖 Moreover it was awesome to see rural Goa. I've visited Goa almost 6 times but never saw places you showed. We are more of Anjuna-Vagator and Ashwem kind!
Very Beautiful Magali, loved it so much ... so Peaceful ... mwwwwwah
Kitna accha vlog hai,maine bahut late dekha per dekh kar bahut accha laga
Beaches k siwa bhi Goa hai ye aapke vlog se hi pata chala, thanks for sharing 👍👍
Part 2 bhi mauka nikal kar jaldi dekhungi 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Magali, exactly which I wanted in this video beyond the beach your voice & facial expressions are awesome. if I will make my own film I will definitely use this kind of location which is in my thoughts. so good luck Magali...
Great vlog!!! What's your favorite part about traveling??
Your videos spell MAGIC!!! Keep up the good work going.. would love to watch more like these 😃
