Mack is inspired by his desire to share the Goa he grew up in, that he knows best. He didn’t realize he had knocked on the doors of Goa of the 70’s and 80’s, and he had little idea it still existed in all its blitheness; an easy-going charm, as alluring as ever. The great news—this Goa is very much alive. You just got to know where to find it and how to connect with it. He finds it extremely gratifying to connect and engage guests with the local community through stories, feni, and food. He invites you to experience the unexplored parts of Goa and savour its beauty and richness.
