Indonesia

When it comes to hikes in Indonesia, there are just so many to choose from. In a country with over 17,000 islands, mostly covered with jungle and volcanoes, it is only to be expected. The problem is, most hiking articles and guides will only really tell you about the most […]

Flights to Bali from Australia is a hot topic right now, as it is all the time within the travel industry in Australia. During the Pandemic, all flights ceased internationally, but that is no longer the case. Nearly every airline is back flying to Bali from all centers of Australia, […]

Bali is a wonderful place, teeming with popular spots for tourists and locals alike. There are not that many places left that haven’t yet been “discovered”. So to find a place that you can still have pretty much to yourself is GOLD. It was for that reason that this week […]

It’s a question that I get asked a lot, and one that comes up very regularly in comments and conversation. Where is Bali? It’s surprising that so many people have heard of Bali, but many have no real idea where it is. This is not surprising for travelers from places […]

I had lived in Bali for a couple of years before I had the opportunity to get to Bali Zoo. Not because I didn’t want to, but I have always seen zoo’s as places for kids. This is an opinion that I was certain to share with many others, and […]

Indonesia is an amazing place for hikers. Many visitors will already know about Mount Batur, or Mount Rinjani as incredible places for trekking. Most of them have no idea, however, that there are SO many other great treks around the country. This is mostly due to lack of publicity, which […]

The amazing mountains of Munduk, in North Bali, are one place on this incredible island that I constantly find myself returning to. It has an allure that has to be experienced to be fully understood. The mountains, the lakes, and the gorgeous views all combine to make this area of […]

It was on a trip to Jakarta that I was first introduced to the true Kampung. Otherwise known as the “other” side of Jakarta. “Kampung” is the Indonesian word for Village, although it encompasses so much more than that. The word is used widely to describe a lower class of […]
