Breathtaking. Words will not be enough to paint an accurate picture of the Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, but that word — breathtaking — might be the most accurate word for it. The amazing scenery at this marvelous water temple made my heart stop and my jaw drop, and — to a great degree — took my breath …
Would you be willing to travel for 2 hours while passing through bumpy roads just to see rice paddies? Normally, I wouldn’t. I mean, they’re just rice paddies! What’s the big deal? But what if the view of the rice paddies is as amazing as this? I’d say: “TAKE ME THERE!!!” And so, our driver …
First things first: what is a warung? Wikipedia defines “warung” (or waroeng) as a type of small family-owned business — often a casual shop, a modest restaurant, or a small café found in Indonesia.” However, today, a warung can refer to “a modest Indonesian restaurant or a place that sells things Indonesian.” Warung Rumpi’s is a homey and …
Instagram-worthy. Is that even a real word? Now, it is. It’s an adjective used to describe something exceptionally pretty, amazing, or cool that it just needs to be photographed and shared online for the whole world to see and admire. If there is one restaurant in Bali that deserves to be called “Instagram-worthy,” it’s Sardine. It’s …
Seminyak is where the party’s at in Bali! The trendiest shops, the hippest bars, and the coolest restaurants are all found in Seminyak, which is why Mike and I have decided to spend the last leg of our honeymoon in this lively town.

Aside from the well-known Indonesian staples like …
I can’t even begin to write about how blown away we were with the Uluwatu Temple in Bali. There were just too many things that left us in awe of this sea temple. For starters, it gloriously stands on top of a steep 70-meter high cliff, overlooking the beautiful Indian ocean. Couple that glistening seascape with a spectacular …
“You’re going to like Suluban Beach,” our driver Made said as he smiled confidently. I really hoped so! We had just come from two beaches — Dreamland Beach and Padang Padang Beach — and quite frankly, we thought they were kind of meh. Sorry. But I had really high hopes for Suluban Beach, located at the …
After our very short (10-minute) trip to Dreamland Beach (New Kuta Beach), we moved on to another beach in the Pecatu area of Bali: Padang Padang Beach, also known as “that beach from the movie Eat, Pray, Love” starring Julia Roberts. The fun started when we were greeted by the beach’s naughty and funny welcoming …
My goal for this blog post was to finish writing it in 10 minutes. Why? Because that is exactly how much time we spent at Dreamland Beach. After checking out of our villa in Jimbaran, Mike and I got ready for some fun under the sun. Our plan for our 6th day in Bali was to explore …
