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.
There are many reasons that people love to travel. It is something that nearly every person in the world longs to do. From the office worker stuck in a 9 to 5 job, or the housewife who just doesn’t manage to get out enough. Ask either of them and they will probably say that they are working toward something. And usually, that is a vacation. A holiday. It is...
Bali is a tropical paradise that visitors flock to from all over the world. It is a place of endless panoramas, fields of flowing green, and oceans of endless blues. It is a dream destination that many spend their whole lives wishing to visit. Although everyone has their different reasons, though, there is one thing that they all have in common, and that is to seek...
Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningen islands lay just off the coast of Bali. Too often, both of them are overlooked for the more popular Nusa Penida. This is a travesty, however, as both of these small Balinese islands are as beautiful as they are idyllic and quiet. For anyone wanting to escape from the hustle and bustle of Bali for a couple of days and still see some...
The Nusa islands are made up of 3 islands located off the South Eastern Coast of Bali. They are clearly visible from anywhere on the Eastern Coastline, and they will have become a daily sight for anyone staying in the Sanur or Nusa Dua areas. The closest of the islands is Nusa Lembongan, and tucked away behind it is Nusa Ceningan. Both are dwarfed in size, though, by...
There is a hidden sunset spot in Uluwatu that still manages to fly under the tourist radar. For that reason, it is a haven for locals who wish to escape the clifftop crowds of sunset, and enjoy some peace and quiet. Although it is only a stone’s throw from some of the major Uluwatu tourist attractions, it is still rare for anyone other than a local to found there...
Bukit Tengah is not very hard to find, but like many bukits in Bali, you have to work a little to get there. Not that this place is hidden. In fact, it is rather easy to locate and get to following Google Maps. Just be prepared to bump and grind your way up the last couple of hills on your scooter, or have access to a sturdy car or 4wd. This article may contain...
When it come to Bali Holidays, everyone is looking for the best Bali Beaches. Whether you are staying in a Kuta Resort, Ubud Hideaway, or Uluwatu Villa, at some stage during your holiday the siren call of the idyllic beaches the island has to offer will lure you away. So, you will leave your pool side bar or serene private villa, and venture out to find the soft...
Getting around in Bali can be quite daunting for first time visitors. The island can be very busy, with thousands of scooters, cars and trucks crowding the streets. For many, it’s not exactly what they might have expected when booking a tropical island holiday. It is for that reason that many people need to find out how to get around in Bali. The truth is, though...
Every single tourist that comes to the island of Bali should visit at least one of the iconic Bali Temples. A lot do, but did you know just how many Bali Temples there are? Most visitors to the island have heard of Heaven’s Gate, and may visit Uluwatu Temple to see the monkeys or the Kecak dance. These are only two of hundreds of Temples on the island, though...
