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.
Banyu Wana Amertha Waterfall is a relative newcomer as far as waterfalls in Bali are concerned, but it is rapidly rising up the list of favorites for most visitors. And for good reason. This is a waterfall that will transport you into another world and leave you believing that you may have somehow stepped through a hidden portal into a land that was created by an...
With all that is going on in the world at the moment, many people are asking what the situation is like in Bali. That’s BALI, not Indonesia. I understand that there are a lot of people that do not understand the difference. I’m looking at YOU, International Media. So I have decided to make the first blog post on here about the situation here in Bali. I...
For anyone that has ever stayed at Nusa Dua, they will be well aware of the scenic promenade that runs for many kilometers along the coastline. For newcomers that have never stayed there before, it may come as a surprise to learn that the nice footpath that runs along the beach at the rear of the resort is actually a major Bike/walking track. So if you are looking...
Hi everyone! Welcome to the very start of my travel blog. Why a travel blog I hear you ask? It’s simple, really. I travel a lot. I am constantly on the road searching for new places to see, discover and write about. Many of those places are amazing, but just don’t contain enough fodder for a single article. Sometimes I am able to include these places in a...
Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is one of those places that you will remember for the rest of your life. It is a place unlike anything that you will find anywhere else, and would have to travel a long, long way if you were. This is more than just a waterfall, and definitely more than a simple photo opportunity. Tumpak Sewu Waterfall is an adventure, a physical challenge, a...
Mount Abang is located in the Bangli Regency, and presides over the glorious lake, Danau Batur.

Abang is not as well known as it’s neighbor, Mt Batur, however visitors and hikers are more recently looking...
When it comes to waterfalls in Bali, you certainly are spoiled for choice. And it’s not just the Ubud Waterfalls either. Not twenty or thirty years ago the only waterfall known to visitors to the island was Git Git Waterfall, and it took a full day trip to Singaraja to experience it. Now, the locals have realized that tourists love waterfalls, and more and more...
Any trip to Indonesia can be made easy and pain free if you pack the right stuff. Many trips have fallen apart before they have even gotten off the ground simply because no one had researched an Indonesia packing list. So, before your phone runs dry in the middle of nowhere with no way to recharge it and no power adapter, let us come to the rescue with this list of...
Leke Leke Waterfall in Bali is one that had been on our list for quite some time. It is a place that words cannot describe, and photos simply do not do justice to. The photos and posts we had seen previously on Instagram and Facebook of Leke Leke did not even come close to preparing us for the beauty and tranquility that this Waterfall provides. If you have ever come...
