Finally I have had to resign myself to the fact that today I can only squeeze in a massage and snorkel at most. As Western though patterns and chasing leaving my body, so does stress. I feel myself decompressing like a tension chamber that has become unaccustomed to it’s own internal pressure – in actual…

Reclining back, watching the last of another magic Balinese day, I giggle at the outlook of The Lawn. It is like a piece of Seminyak in Canggu. A little piece of glamour in the surf village. I don’t mind it for a change but I know it wont’ become my local. I am still an…

My friend asked today ” Why don’t you have your own villa in Bali?” seeing as I travel there all the time and lately have been heading over monthly. I have looked into it, but while the ease of staying at a place such as Exotica Bali (Bed and Breakfast) is available I can’t justify…

This is my second holiday to Gili T. It’s a great ferry ride over and we are staying at the north western tip at a hotel called The Pink Coco. Hotels on Gili are more expensive than Bali – mostly because they can charge more (captured audience) and they have to transport all the goods…
Read More“ How good is the food?!” my friends chorus as we all meet up for dinner in Canggu. My mates assure me that Poke Poke, opposite Deus carpark is the bomb when it comes to quick wholesome salads. And they are right! The Poke Concept is a Hawaaiin way of delivering salads. Packed with nourishment,…

Canggu is my preferred place to stay in Bali. The coast is fringed by different villages and slowly, as tourism increases, Kuta has spread. Legion, Seminyak and now Canggu.
