Chased Myrtle the turtle around the ocean for so long that we lost our boat

Loving the abundance of spots on the beach to watch the sun go down at Gili Air. Even better with an ice cold Bintang (or 5) in hand 🌴🍻

Second time around and it doesn't get any less beautiful 🌴💜

Stopped at a hole in the hall local joint for lunch today where 6 food dishes and 4 smoothies rang in at $9.40. Probably the best local food I've had in 3 months. NOM!

Enjoying the fresh mountain air at Landih Ashram after completing my first Vipassana; a 10 day silent meditation course. Vipassana means to see things as they truly are. Beginning at 4am, students are to meditate 10 hours daily. The free time is really just an opportunity to see just how insane you can drive yourself with your own thoughts, as writing, reading, physical activity or any type of entertainment is forbidden. We are truly a slave to our own minds, but Vipassana offers an opportunity to relief oneself from accumulated misery. It teaches one to live a life of compassion and love opposed to one of craving and aversion. Vipassana courses are offered all over the world and are funded by donations from students who have completed the full 10 day course. Visit www.dhamma.org for a worldwide directory and further information about Vipassana meditation. Ps: it's the hardest thing I've ever done.

Three chickies and a blue lagoon. Paradise

Came across this incredibly beautiful woman on my walk through the rice fields today

I never thought I had an addictive personality but then I had a Nalu Bowl. So there goes that. Is there a valid reason why these aren't available in Ubud?

Travel tip: don't quit your daydream 🌴

If I could give my 'younger' self (aka a week ago) any advice, it'd be not to sneak into the buffet line with the Chinese tourists to eat their food for free. The parasite wasn't worth it, people. Black magic of Nusa Penida didn't waste any time sending the karma our way

New on the blog: A monthly breakdown of the cost of living in Bali for a budget to mid-range lifestyle (it may not be as cheap as you [or I] thought!)

Monthly Budget to Mid-Range Cost of Life In Ubud

It's hard to believe places like this actually exist. Angels Billabong is a natural salt water pool on the cliff of Nusa Penida. When the tide is high enough, the ocean water comes rushing in, filling the pools with water. All you need to know about surviving the untouristy island of Nusa Penida coming soon to the blog!

Organic, raw, vegan, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, caffeine-free, FREE coconuts. Why pay for a coconut when you make friends with a local who can climb palm trees and knock 'em down fresh for you? I'm moving to the jungle

If you love exploring untouched places and are okay without Western comforts, Nusa Penida is calling your name 🌴🍍

While one of us is soaking up the sun on the beaches of Bali, the other is stuck in the snow. But hey, things could be worse 🎿

25/03/2016

If you want to experience the untouristy side of Bali, Nusa Penida is your place. Kilometres of dirt roads lead you to beautiful spots like Manta Point, where you're almost guaranteed to see these beautiful creatures

'You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.'

Ubud is wonderful, but felt called to the beach the other day 🌴 1.5 hours Eastbound on a motorbike rewards you with Pasir Putih Beach. Crystal waters, sun beds and fresh seafood make it a perfect day trip from almost anywhere on Bali

It's a tough life unzipping people's backpacks and stealing their personal belongings. New blog post about the infamous Monkey Forest in Ubud at http://www.wheretoexploreby24.com/indonesia/monkeyforestubud

Wow what an amazingly beautiful read

The bestselling author shares, for the first time, the story of a healing encounter with a local woman in a remote fishing village, and how it continues to shape her life.

Sam has relocated to Bali! Read all about it on the blog

http://www.wheretoexploreby24.com/indonesia/week-1-life-as-a-bali-expat

I knew I would return to Bali the moment I landed on the beautiful island July of 2014. That’s actually a lie. If it was the truth, its hard to say if I would of ever left in the first place....

Wow! What an uplifting read

Instead of being treated for cancer, a 90-year-old Michigan woman hit the road with her son and daughter-in-law for a trip of a lifetime.

Great and relatable read! If not now, when?

When I was at school it was an almost anticipated expectation that I'd either be a lawyer or a journalist by the age of 25. You know, somebody with opinions, money and a high-flying career.

"I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. Nothing else"

What an amazing backyard we have. Snowshoeing at Cypress was the perfect way to spend the afternoon
