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.

Nusa Dua is one of the most popular places to stay in Bali. With high end resorts and the most amazing white sand beaches, there is little wonder why. What many that stay here have problems with though, is where to eat?

When it comes to hikes in Indonesia, there are just so many to choose from. In a country with over 17,000 islands, mostly covered with jungle and volcanoes, it is only to be expected.

From the Theme Parks, to the night clubs of Broadbeach. This is a place that was seemingly created to please everyone, and it is no wonder that holidaymakers from all over Australia...
The Capital City of Queensland, and Centerpiece of South East Queensland, Brisbane is a place that is still constantly under rated by both domestic and International tourists. This is unfortunate, as the “river city” is an amazing place to visit. There are so many things to see and do, that just spending a few days there is not enough. In this Complete...
