Day 63 in South East Asia – And Now, The End is Near…

August 19, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Today, dear readers, was my last day in Ubud, my last day in Bali, and the last official day of my travels in South East Asia and the end of an incredible 13 months away from home.

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; Today was my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! The thought of turning 32 was not something I was particularly relishing.

Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

August 16, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; I naively thought (because I’m so young in my years), that Golden Showers were what pornographic dreams were made of. Some people find it a turn on. Some people find it sexy. Not me. I find it pretty repulsive. And as it turns out, Golden Showers are actually not what pornographic dreams … More Day 59 in SE Asia – Golden Showers and Showers of Jazz

August 12, 2017

Ubud, Bali, Indonesia; “Poetry is what happens when nothing else can.” Charles Bukowski Another yoga session saw me start today; Devie provided Hatha practice, I opened up in every way.

Day 54 in South East Asia – What A Perfect Day

August 8, 2017

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Today, all my prayers were answered and Karma and I reignited our passionate, if not slightly tumultuous relationship, firmly cementing it over cheap Bali Hai beers down by the beach and a delicious Indonesian meal. It was the start of a brand new week, it was time to put the past behind … More Day 54 in South East Asia – What A Perfect Day

Day 52 in South East Asia – Sunshine on a Rainy Day???

August 6, 2017

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Last night I was kept awake by the pitter patter of rain on Gusti’s roof (and by Serbia’s snoring). This morning I awoke to the pitter patter of rain on Gusti’s roof (Serbia was still snoring). And to my dismay, neither of them stopped. Now, I could’ve used the rain to my … More Day 52 in South East Asia – Sunshine on a Rainy Day???

Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; Today I went to my first yoga class of this Bali trip at a place called Jungle Room. Situated in the luscious green surroundings of Canggu, with views of the jungle river and forest at every turn, Jungle Room is not just a yoga studio, it’s an Air BnB property too.

Day 50 in South East Asia – Bali, I’m Back!

August 5, 2017

Somewhere between Seminyak and Canggu, Bali, Indonesia; I arrived in Bali late last night, the airport taxi queue was just as I remembered – long, busy, chaotic. The number of drivers waiting for pick-ups was absurd, and the queues for the cash machines even worse. I didn’t care so much though, in fact, I didn’t … More Day 50 in South East Asia – Bali, I’m Back!
