MY BALI ADVENTURE

Processed with VSCOcam with s4 preset

My Bali adventure, where to begin? The Bali experience is something that can’t be explained, it’s a cultural and spiritual journey that needs to be experienced in order to be understood. Bali is called “The Island of The Gods,” and appropriately so.

This trip, I was lucky enough to experience some of the most beautiful locations and resorts the island has to offer, beginning in Nusa Dua, then to Seminyak, Sanur and Uluwatu. When I wasn’t shooting I was swimming in crystal blue waters and infinity pools, shopping in the adorable boutiques, relaxing at the cool cafes and dining at world class restaurants. The thing I love most about Bali is that it offers something for everyone, amazing wave breaks, unique shopping, some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and for the foodie, fantastic restaurants.

 I feel as though Bali is also a reminder of how important kindness and generosity are: the locals are so lovely and cheerful that it would be hard to have a bad day, someone was always putting a smile on my face.

Whilst I was in town I was also lucky enough to experience a beautiful religious holiday called Nyepi, or “Silence Day,” in which you are not allowed to leave the house or use certain technology for 24 hrs. The day before, a ceremonial parade known as “Ogoh-ogoh”  is performed with demonic statues and floats filling the streets which symbolize negativity and bad spirits. The statues are burned at the end of the night to cleanse them of all things “evil”. The next day, Silence Day, is a day of reflection and meditation, to focus on peace within ones self, the streets are empty and at night the sky is filled with thousands of silver shining stars. It was a humble and peaceful experience which I was so glad to be a part of.

  7. Hello, great blog as always! Your photos are steadily becoming more impressive. The quality, vibrancy, and interesting perspective have improved a lot. It really made all the difference with these photos. I was really looking forward to this blog post and you did not disapoint. I also like that you keep your passages short and sweet. But I noticed an editing error in your 4th paragraph where you mention the day of silence.
    Also I really hope to see a beauty, health, fitness section one day.

  13. Hmm it seems like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.

  14. Just stumbled upon your blog, great stuff! really inspiring stuff.

    To the blogger. Awesome documentation of your travels 🙂

  20. Hi.. I stumbled upon your blog while researching nice beaches to go to in Bali.. Possible to let me know which beaches you visited, particularly picture 10,13 and 14, the one with you in the black bikini. Thank you in advance for your help.

    1. I am travelling to Bali and researching places to go too. Could you suggest anything that you did while there? 🙂

  21. I am made Pinda Speaking English tour driver in Bali. I offer you an option to explore Island of Bali by providing personal service driver. I more rthan happy to drive you base on your preferences

  22. Honestly..
    What is the point of having a blog and comments section if you aren’t going to respond to people’s questions.
    Multiple people have asked you a several times what kind of editing techniques you use and you wont even budge.
    Annoying.

  23. Love this post. I bought the floral jumpsuit after i saw u in it. Its really nice!! Going to bali in a month and a half too.woop.

    It’s really nice to read that you took back with you a fantastic part of what makes Bali what it is: the harmony nested in its culture.

    Next time, try looking at Jatiluwih and Nusa Ceningan, it’s really good for photo shoots and it’s a literal gush of fresh air!

  27. Hi i had seen you post a picure on instagram of a Blue purse and next to it was like some towels or some pillows, could have been both i dont realy remmember but i liked how it looked like how the colors went together.

  38. Hi! I’m going to Bali in the next few weeks and I would like to get ready to make the best trip possible. I planned to spend few days in Canggu, but I don’t know where to go and what to do. I just read your lovely article, it is very useful to plan my trip. I also found out about this article who gave me some additional tips http://blog.eoasia.com/things-to-do-in-canggu/. You can have a look at it 🙂

  39. This post will surely invite many holidaymakers to visit Bali, Indonesia. I must agree that Indonesia’s culture is rich and the places have beautiful stories as well. I enjoyed looking at the pictures and was delighted by the beautiful sights of Bali. And of course, by the stunning lady.

  40. it is a great adventure and amazing trip Bali. I agree that Bali is welcomed to everyone and show their smile. they are influenced by their teaching called ” Athiti Puja” means retreat guest well. it is a kind of path to get the spirituality. the major believe to respect the nature, human and supernatural power. Thank you for sharing great pictures about adventure in Bali

  41. I partly agree with you, because Bali is a very unique island and many cultures there, “Nyepi” is one of many cultures in Bali. And about everyone was putting smiles on your face, that’s our way to respect each other. The place that you have been visited, all of them are the great place for tourists, but I think those are very crowded place, you have to explore more the nature of Bali, you will get different experiences because Bali has a lot of places to explore the nature, such as mountains, waterfall, terraces, and lakes.
    I’ve read your blog about the place that you have been visited in Bali and those are the places can be found in the other country outside Bali.
