Bali: A Beautiful Chaos

Posted on May 16, 2013 by jasminetravels | 10 Comments

Featured writer: Jasmine Cronin-Georgiadi There’s something about Bali that, if you let it, will mellow you out, loosen your jaw — did you know most of us spend our days with our jaws clenched, which in turns creates tension in the hips? — and put a perpetual smile on your face. Having traveled to at least a couple dozen countries and…

Disrupted by Routine

Posted on May 12, 2013 by jasminetravels | 2 Comments

Featured Writer: Jasmine Cronin-Georgiadi I’m here at Changi International Airport on what may be my longest layover to date: 15 hours. I arrived at the eyelid-dropping hour of 1:30am, and pretty much had the entire terminal to myself, save for less than a couple dozen people scattered about. The silence, coupled with dark skies and a decaf latté, got me…

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Brenda Panin | 0 Comments

Featured writer: Brenda Panin It is difficult to believe there could be so much to do on one island. Bali seems to have it all: sandy beaches, rumbling volcanoes, great food, a unique culture, mystifying temples and colorful coral reefs. With so many options to choose from, it’s difficult to know where to begin. For an exciting and memorable trip…

Flores: The Island of Volcanos and Flowers

Posted on October 23, 2012 by Alison Bone | 0 Comments

Featured writer: Alison Elisabeth Bone Flores owes its name to Portuguese sailors who called it Cabo das Flores (Cape of flowers). It is a place of raw and startling beauty, fringed by coral gardens and surrounded by volcanic isles. Amidst the tropical flowers which cover the island are smoldering volcanoes, steaming hot springs and ancient villages where animist rituals are…

Diving Down Under in Amed, Bali

Featured Writer: Jen Baxter As we sit down to have breakfast with Nico and Murray, our two dive guides for the weekend, I can smell the thick, dark Bali coffee sitting on the table. Ordering eggs and toast we start to talk about the sites we’re going to dive over the next two days. As I look out over the…

Good Price?

Posted on May 23, 2012 by rfisseha | 0 Comments

Featured Writer: Rebecca Fisseha Roundtrip airfare from Wenzhou to Bali costs just under one grand. (Especially if you didn’t miss your initial flight out because you thought 01:00am Tuesday meant super late Tuesday night, as opposed to super early Tuesday morning. So let’s pretend, for the sake of saving face, that I do know how to read a ticket and that…

Soulshine, Bali: Where Your Soul Actually Does Shine

Featured Writer: Christine Martin So, I love Ubud, Bali. I’ve just returned from my 3rd trip there. Last time, I was delighted to take a peek at designer Linda Garland’s estate not too far from where we were staying. This time, I had the treat of visiting Soulshine, a gorgeous space inspired by Michael Franti and Carla Swanson. Soulshine Bali is…

Medicine Man, Crazy Monkeys, Sarongs and a Few Perfect Days: Ubud

Featured Writer: Hayley I LOVED this place! It was coming to the end of my travels by this point, and perhaps I was just feeling particularly appreciative, but I really did have a wonderful few days here. I arrived to Ubud after a very long day travelling from the Gilli Islands around 9pm and began wondering the streets in search…

Close Encounters with The Monkeys of The Sacred Forest

Featured writer: Bama Hinduism in Bali is world-away from the one in India. In Bali, the balance of the nature is one of the main principles in life. That explains why many Balinese traditions are heavily influenced with animism which emphasizes the respect to the nature and the creatures that dwell in it. One of the creatures which enjoy a…
