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.
Langkawi is a tropical island in Malaysia that sees thousands of international visitors every week. The trouble is that Langkawi is a little different to many of the popular island destinations that you may have been to or heard about. There is not that much information available online, and most of what there is is either confusing, or contradictory. I found that...
If you are every visiting Malaysia, then Langkawi just HAS to be on your list of places to see. And if you are in Langkawi, then the very top of THAT list will be the Langkawi Cable Car and Skybridge. The proper name for it is the Langkawi Skycab, but names aside, it is one of the most exhilarating things you will do in all of Malaysia. This article may contain...
I am a fan of the Kempinski Hotel brand. There. I said it. Although, if you are a regular reader of my blog, this will come as no surprise. Even as a budget traveler, I love Kempinski, even if I don’t get the chance to stay there very often. So, whilst in Bansko, Bulgaria recently, I took the opportunity to check out the Kempinski Bansko, and was blown away by...
Malaysia is an amazing and beautiful country with many places for tourists to visit. Chief among those are the capital of Kuala Lumpur and the island of Penang. Many people don’t realize though, that only a short drive south of Kuala Lumpur lies the beautiful and historical city of Malacca. After we visited recently, I thought it was about time to do my...
If you are ever flying to Kuala Lumpur, then you will find yourself landing at one of the two major International Airports that service the Malaysian capital. Like any major city in the world though, getting from the airport to where you want to go can be a challenge. Likewise, if you need to transfer, moving between the airports themselves can be just as hard...

It seems that nearly every second day a new restaurant, night club or beach club is opening in Bali. During the Pandemic they even opened up some new waterfalls. Uma Anyar Waterfall at Gianyar is one such example. It’s not every day that a new beach opens up though, but right now that is the case with Pantai Batu Barak, and already it’s becoming a...

Australia is sometimes not the cheapest place to travel to. For those that live in Australia, it can also be an expensive place to travel around, even for family holidays or weekend getaways. It is for this reason that many escape to places overseas such as Bali, as a holiday to Indonesia can be cheaper than a trip to the Gold Coast. It doesn’t have to be that...
