Hi, I'm Jason Lee, Lonely Planet Author and full time traveler who currently resides in Bali, Indonesia. Thanks for visiting my website!
I've been traveling full time for the past 5 years, specializing in South East Asia and Eastern Europe. I've worked with Lonely Planet on their Guides to Romania & Bulgaria, as well as the Lonely Planet Guide to Indonesia. As a Travel Writer, I enjoy returning to locations I write about, so that my content is constantly up to date and fresh.
I created this life of full time travel out of my passion for exploring other places and cultures. My goal with this blog is to bring you all of the tips, hints and ideas that I can, so that you can enjoy all the wonderful places that I do!
If you have any comments or questions, feel free to post them at the bottom of my articles, and I will be sure to respond.
If you see me out on the road, make sure to say Hi! I love meeting people, and am always happy to chat.
When I first read about Asen’s Fortress in Bulgaria, I was intrigued. The photos were impressive, depicting this stone “castle” set high in the mountains with commanding views all around. My immediate thought was that I just had to go there! So I set about finding information, which was hard, as there isn’t that much. So, once I had actually...
Plovdiv is an amazing town that is approximately 8000 years old. As one of the oldest and continually inhabited cities in the world, you would be correct in assuming there is a lot to see and do. The history in Plovdiv is incredible, and the good news is that the city is not expensive to visit. The even BETTER news, is that there a many free things to do in Plovdiv...
Plovdiv, Bulgaria is becoming known as a very cheap place to visit. By Bulgarian standards, that is also very true, which means you can really save some money! Like any other city though, if you can’t find where to eat at budget prices, then you are going to find yourself overspending. So, to save you some time (and money) I have put together my list of where...
Izmir is a place that we very nearly didn’t go to. We were traveling around Turkey, and time had caught up with us. As a result, we had a couple of days up our sleeve, and needed somewhere to spend a couple of nights. We decided to spend one day in Izmir, and are so glad that we did! We enjoyed it so much that we organized to stay a couple more. This article...

It has become more and more popular in recent years with visitors who have become aware of Fethiye’s beautiful blue waters, stunning scenery and rock tombs built into the cliffs high above. With it having become one of the most popular tourist towns in the region, I decided it was time to...
Fethiye, a small fishing port on the Southern Coast of Turkey, also happens to be one of the most popular destinations for tourists to the region. It’s beautiful scenery, amazing landscape, picturesque ocean views and near perfect weather make it a first choice for nearly anyone looking for a Turkish “escape”. So it was for us when we first visited...
Antalya is a beautiful city located on the South West Coast of Turkey, along what is known as the “Turkish Riviera”. It was our first taste of the Southern Coast of Turkey, and we immediately fell in love with it. With beaches, mountains, sea cliffs, crystal clear Turquoise waters and incredible History, there is truly something to keep everyone happy in...
When traveling Turkey, I have found that there are a lot of things that I really was not quite prepared for. Interestingly, I had been to Turkey before, but that was a long time ago. I still did my research before I came, yet at the end of the day there are several things I wish I had known before I arrived. So now I have decided to put together all of the Turkey...
Cappadocia is one of those places that is on everyone’s bucket list. I know it was on mine. What is different about this particular bucket list item though, is that it actually lives up to expectations. This has to be one of the most unique and magical parts of the world, and it is a shame that more people cannot get to Cappadocia to experience it. I have...
