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.

They are brimming with crowds and usually it’s standing room only. But where are the hidden gems in Bali? Where are the places that are just as good – if not...
Wanagiri Pucak Manik Waterfall may not be as well known as it’s popular neighbors Banu Wana Amertha Waterfall and Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, but they are in no way a lesser experience. These Falls are often confused for the others due to the closeness of their proximity which is a shame, because they really deserve to hold a much higher status. We originally...
