UBUD

Ubud is a town in the uplands of Bali, Indonesia, renowned for its rich culture, arts, and spiritual atmosphere. Often considered the cultural heart of Bali, Ubud is known for its traditional crafts, dance performances, and vibrant artistic community. The town is surrounded by rice paddies, rainforests, and Hindu temples, offering visitors a peaceful retreat from Bali’s more tourist-heavy coastal areas.

Some of the key highlights in and around Ubud include:


Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary: A nature reserve and temple complex home to long-tailed macaques. It’s a popular attraction for both its natural beauty and the cultural significance of the temples within the forest.

Tegallalang Rice Terraces: Iconic, scenic terraced rice fields just outside Ubud, offering stunning landscapes and a glimpse into traditional Balinese agriculture.

Ubud Palace (Puri Saren Agung): A royal palace located in the heart of Ubud, where you can witness traditional dance performances in the evenings.

Art Galleries and Museums: Ubud is home to many galleries, such as the Neka Art Museum and Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA), which display both traditional and contemporary Balinese art.

Yoga and Wellness Retreats: Ubud is a hub for wellness tourism, attracting people seeking yoga, meditation, and spa treatments, often in luxurious, nature-filled settings.

With its mix of cultural experiences, stunning nature, and spiritual ambiance, Ubud draws travelers looking for a more tranquil and culturally immersive side of Bali.

Day 5 and we move from France To Italy 🇮🇹

Florence or Firenze has my heart. I lived there for a bit in 2007 and it was some of the best months of my life. I would go back in a heartbeat

Why you ask?

For me it’s the scenic beauty of the Tuscany region, the food, the history and the culture. Travelling to Florence is like stepping into a living museum of Renaissance art

Driving there from Nice is fun. There are a huge amount of tunnels to drive through. Have a guess below as to how many you think there are? I will reveal the answer on the next Europe post on Thursday

Bali - Why we travel here most years

I first came here on a self famil 14 years ago and loved the place. My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and he also fell in love 😍 WHY?

For us it’s the people, the culture, the food and the laid back lifestyle, and it is very affordable when you are here. We have stayed in a few different areas however have settled with Legian at the moment as it’s easy and comfortable for my 5 and 3 year olds. We know where things are and it’s easy to walk around. It’s like being in our second home

Over the next two weeks while we are here, I’ll share with you the different areas to stay in and why, activities you can do and some of my favourite restaurants, so keep following for updates

And of course if you’d like to travel here yourself, contact me to have a chat

With most airlines charging for a seat request, what would be your favourite on your flight? This is something I always discuss with my client and try and pre seat you where I can. Something that the internet doesn’t always ask you!

My favourite is the window and will pick the side of the plane with views. For example heading north to Auckland I like the right side to watch the hills on a clear day as we have such a beautiful country

What’s yours?
