Chapter 9: A year apart... journalism and leaving home Daryl PereiraDaryl Pereira came to Goa as a lost young member of the widespread Goan diaspora.

As our publication was aimed squarely at the Goan living abroad, this was an excellent resource for finding out what the Goan diaspora was up to and how Goa was perceived on the world stage (especially important in the area of covering tourism).

There is also an increasingly felt demand among the Diaspora population of Romi Konknni-speaking people who are migrating to other countries over the globe.
