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.
Having just returned from a trip around Europe, I am constantly asked questions about how safe it is. My answer is generally that Europe, on a whole, can be a very safe place to travel. Obviously though, there are some places that are safer than others. So today I have decided to sit down and write this list of the safest cities in Europe to visit right now. This...
The Digital Nomad Lifestyle isn’t exactly new, yet has really shot onto the radar in recent years. The Pandemic was the major cause of that, as companies and employees began to realize that working from home, and indeed, from remote locations, was actually a viable option. Most were forced into it, and others embraced it as a permanent change to their lifestyle...
Everyone who has a social media account knows about Lake Bled. It’s impossible to miss, especially on Instagram due to its wonderful panoramas and incredible natural scenery. Add to that the quaint little island in the middle of the lake itself, and the beautiful church that resides there. Visitors flock from all over the world to Lake Bled, pouring in every...
It was in Croatia that I finally bit the bullet and decided to book with Flixbus Zagreb. I needed to get to Budapest, and Flixbus was the cheapest option. As it is with nearly any route around Europe, be it East or West. I honestly didn’t know what to expect, as opinions on the internet appear to be divided. It was time for me to find out for myself. This...
Every first time visitor to Bali will notice one thing as soon as they leave the airport. There are literally scooters everywhere! This is no exaggeration, as the main form of transportation on the island is by scooter. And with SO many scooters cramming the streets in what can only be described as total chaos, the thought of actually riding a scooter in Bali can be...
Annecy is a small town in France that I stumbled upon several months ago whilst researching the country. It frequently popped up in lists as one of the most beautiful small towns in France, and a must visit for anyone to the region. On my recent visit to Europe, I had Annecy high on my wish list, yet never expected to actually make it. I was ecstatic when the...
Annecy, France had been on my bucket list for quite some time, and like most bucket list items, you never expect to be able to actually tick them all off. So recently when I had the opportunity to stop by in Annecy, I jumped at it. Being a “tourist hub” though, I knew it wouldn’t be cheap, so one of the first things I did was to set about to find...
Did you know that it is possible to get free accommodation whilst traveling? You may have heard about ways to travel the world and work, therefore receiving free accommodation as part of your payment. But what if I told you that you could travel the world, staying in places completely free, and all you were expected to do was look after a cat? Or a dog? Maybe even...
I first came across the city of Padua when I was researching locations in Northern Italy some time ago. It immediately struck me as a seemingly wonderful little town, that really flew under the radar of its more popular neighbors of Venice and Verona. Whilst passing through the area though, I couldn’t help but be drawn to it, and chose it as my base whilst...
