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?

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.

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.

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 …
Look up “The Rock Bar Bali” online and you’ll get all these search results that say “It’s the coolest bar in Bali! or “A trip to Bali is not complete without a trip to the Rock Bar!” True enough, when I announced on Facebook that Mike and I have chosen Bali as our honeymoon destination, one of …
