Help with my first solo trip - Goa

Hello kind strangers, For context im planing to visit Goa on Nov 7 till Nov 10. I have never travelled anywhere solo in my life. After going through this sub there has been suggestions to stay in hostel which im totally down for the thing is i will be carrying my laptop and will have to work a few hours daily even though its my vacation. To make things simple here are a few pointers so that you guys can help me out 1. During this short tenure the top beaches to visit , i had planned for baga 1 night and if its my vibe maybe another day if not Anjuna for another night and rest of the days i might go check out some peaceful spots where i can continue with my self introspection 2. Stays i have seen some good hostels but do you guys rekon it is safe keep your personal belongings there and is it safe to carry cash 3. Transportation is a serious issue i was thinking of taking a scooter for rent to solve this

This is my first time ill be visiting goa so any input would be much appreciated if at all i have left some important points please do let me know.
