What’s most important to you? Is it the amount of money you make? The car you drive? The postcode you live in?

For me, it’s the amazing people I meet and the adventures we share ❤️

This post sums up EXACTLY how excited we’ll be to travel again. Who’s with us? 🙌

Your world may feel on hold right now but know that the good vibes will continue and they will be all the sweeter. ⁠
⁠
Times of challenge have a way of directing us to what is REALLY most important to us. ⁠
⁠
What are you most grateful for? What are you looking forward to? What fills you with joy? What would you like more of in your world?⁠
⁠
Now is a time to be still, to listen, and to learn. Your time for action will come soon enough. ⁠
⁠
Love, Wanderah x⁠

Two years ago I was in lockdown in Bali for Nyepi 'silent day'. The entire island is silent for 24 hours - no one is allowed to leave their property (locals and tourists alike). The streets are patrolled and the airport is closed. Today it is Nyepi, and this year many of us globally are sharing the Balinese experience.

Nyepi is a time when Bali renounces it demons and welcomes a bright new year, free of negativity. I think there is something for us all to learn here.

While these times may be challenging for many of us, if we choose to listen, to learn, to reconnect, we will learn so much more about ourselves, our businesses and our relationships. We will all come out the other side with greater insight and intuition - a deeper understanding of what's next. We rarely have the time to step out of life as we know it and look at our world in a different way. This too shall pass and hopefully, we will all learn something from it.

Much love, Wanderah x

One day, two very different cultures, and yet a few similarities.

Show yourself some love this week!

This time of year can feel a little isolating for some of us maybe you feel undervalued and overlooked - maybe you feel lacking in the things you would love in your life that haven't yet found you.

Take some time for you this week and focus on what you HAVE. Make a list of 50 people that have contributed value to your world - you are more loved and supported than you know!

Focussing on what we have and what we are grateful for brings us more of what we want.

Love, Wanderah x

And so it begins..
It seems 2019 was a challenge for many of us, myself included. I achieved a lot, I certainly learnt a lot, but in order to learn and grow everything in my being was challenged and I misplaced my natural sense of fun and excitement along the way...
This Christmas and New Year I did something for me💫 I put aside expectations that didn’t align with me. I said ‘No’ to what didn’t feel right and ‘YES’ to what did. ..
I bypassed the NYE parties and instead, I woke up at 8am and spent New Years’ Day dancing my socks off, sober. I bounced ecstatically into 2020 and fully embraced my sense of fun, excitement and connection...
What are you choosing to do for you? Will you create more fun and adventure in 2020?💫

Today Bali is in silence. Locals and tourists alike are confined to their homes or hotels. It is a day for reflection. Even the airport is closed.

Today is Nypei, the Balinese Hindu New Year's Eve, but why is the island so quiet???? This infographic provides an overview of events.

Ubud is a foodies heaven - Fact!..
This little town is blessed with traditional warungs, decadent fine dining, vegan and raw food hangouts, international cuisine, amazing coffee and deliciously healthy brunch - my most favourite meal of them all!..
You won't go hungry in this town... Yum! 🍽️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you visited the Saraswati Temple in Ubud? A beautiful and tranquil spot set back from the main road (Jalan Raya).

Wander through the backstreets of Ubud and often, set just behind the main thoroughfare, you'll find the most stunning and tranquil of places.

This town rewards the curious 💫🎣

In a week when Garuda Indonesia launched the first direct flight from Heathrow to Bali. This magical island is closer than you think (well, not literally 😆) ⛱😎

Did you know that even though Bali has experienced a boom in tourism over the last 20 years, there are still vast sections of the island that are unknown to tourists and expats alike? The Guardian lifts the lid on my secret...

The best way to explore Bali!
🛵
One of my favourite ways to spend a day is definitely setting off with no particular end-point and seeing where the day takes me. There’s no better way to connect with this lush tropical island 🌴

One of the things I most love about Bali, and Ubud in particular, is that even though the island has seen an increasing upturn in tourism in the last decade, the Balinese maintain their cultural rituals and traditions. It's definitely part of the charm, and why I fell in love with this place.

Some of the most memorable travel moments are often unplanned: the hidden paths; the impromptu events: being in the right place at the right time.

What do you feel as you watch the sunrise on the top of a volcano?

This photo from the summit of Mount Batur sums it up nicely:

💪 A warm feeling of accomplishment
☀ A sense of serenity as you watch a new day unfold
😱 The awe of being on top of the world
🙌A bond with your fellow climbers
🙏Gratitude for experiencing life to the fullest
🤸‍♀️An appreciation of each and every moment.

🧛‍♂️🕸️🕷️🙈⠀
As the West celebrates Halloween - the eve of All Hallow's Day - it got me thinking; there are a lot of similarities with Nyepi Eve - the night before the Balinese Hindu New Year's Eve - celebrated in March...
it is believed that on Halloween evil spirits of those who died the year before were allowed home to visit the living.⠀..⠀
likewise, the Balinese have their own evil spirits to contend with during Nyepi..
monsters and ghouls party the night away, whether at a Halloween party or a Nyepi ‘Ogoh-Ogoh’ parade ...
trick or treating is the name of the game in the West and the Balinese play a few tricks of their own..
On Nyepi, the day after the festivities, the island is silent, to trick the evil spirits into thinking there is no one home; the spirits will depart the island to find somewhere else to create havoc, and the Balinese are left in peace, to welcome in the New Year...⠀
Happy Halloween mwahhahahahahaha 👹👺..⠀
🎃Nyepi takes place in Bali, in March each year. Want to learn more about Nyepi? 🙌 Read our Blog post on Wanderah: Nyepi 2018: A Very Silent St. Patrick's Day
