I wrote a post with the first group of ideas for fun and interesting activities in the city. But there is just so much more, so I have to create another post. Here are 5 more free things to do in Busan Korea that will keep you busy and entertained. Bujeon Market Located between the …
I am a beach girl at heart. Nothing brings me more pleasure and healing, than walking at a beautiful beach, toes in the sand, sound of the surf methodically placating my racing thoughts. I was ecstatic when I reached this beach. Dadaepo Beach, my favourite in Busan Korea by far. Getting There I took the …
Always on the lookout for interesting and of course budget friendly things to see in any destination is goal of mine. As is creating these posts to help other travellers discover places that are perhaps of interest and often over looked. Here are 5 free things to do in Busan Korea that I found particularly …
I had seen photos of this adorable place online before I arrived. Instantly, I knew it would be of interest, for the use of colour and street art is a definite magnet for me. A nice sunny day arrived and it was time. Come spend the day with me at the quirky Gamcheon Culture Village …
An incredibly beautiful and historic place to visit just outside of the city is this temple. Founded in 678, this large complex is a fully functioning training temple and one of the most precious in this land. A national treasure, the Beomeosa Temple in Busan is definitely worth a visit. Getting There Taking the metro …
It was by accident that I bumped into this village in Busan. I was looking for another village, walking around this hilly area, when I discovered a sign and small museum. Quite by chance, I realized I had found a treasure. I spent a fascinating day at Ami-dong Tombstone Village in Busan. Getting There A …
You all know I’m a beach girl at heart. If there is one to be found I will be there with bells on. There are a few beaches in this sprawling metropolis and I am visiting the most famous one first. A beautiful day at Haeundae Beach in Busan was just what I needed. Getting …
I am lucky. I have decided to explore Busan for a little while, staying in an apartment, and the location is perfect. In a local area, surrounded by all things Korean, and what is one of those things? A big and bustling market! Shopping at the authentic Bujeon market in Busan has been extraordinary. Getting …
I have not made a secret of the fact that I have not enjoyed my time here in Bali. The country is suffering from over tourism, more than any other place I have visited. I was shocked by what I saw upon first arrival, the frustration I could see on the faces of the locals …
I don’t think I have hidden the fact that I have not had the best time in Bali. The country is nothing like I expected. Granted I did not do nearly enough homework so this is all on me. It was not a loss however; I did indeed discover some beautiful things that I really …
I haven’t had the best time in Bali to be honest. The over-tourism, congestion, traffic, unsanitary conditions, amount of bugs and unexpected unpleasantness has been more than any other place I have visited. However, one thing that always brightens my day, and stay, is the vegetation. Botanical Bali, how beautiful the flowers are, bringing joy …
Oh how I love markets, and seek them out where ever I travel to. I had been unable to locate a truly local one until this moment in my Bali trip. What a treat it is to explore this covered space to the fullest. Here at the interesting & fun Sindhu Market in Sanur Bali, …
Now onto my third coastal destination while visiting this Indonesian island this year. Previously I have explored the Seminyak and Canggu areas. The beautiful golden sand beaches in Sanur Bali are surprisingly busy, mostly with locals enjoying the sea. Sindhu Beach This is a gorgeous gold sand beach just south of Segara & Sanur. Here …
A lover of both of these forms of public art, I look for, and document it where ever I travel. Excited was I, when discovering a steady stream, as I travelled my way around four different parts of the island. The amazing street art & graffiti in Bali has been a fun discovery. Ubud My …
Exploring further up the coast of the island, I have arrived at another diverse area of coastline. Always happiest with my toes in the sand, I was interested to see what this location offered. I found the beautiful black sand beaches at Canggu Bali to be full of life. Canggu Beach At the town is …
One of the reasons I travel, one of the biggest reasons, is to experience, see and learn about different cultures around the world. Bali has been a disappointment in that regard. I fear, after speaking with older locals as well, that much of the precious culture is gone. What little remains is not easy to …
I adore beaches, they heal me, give me strength and bring me insurmountable amounts of tranquility. Everywhere I travel, I will be beach bound at some point. The first coastal area I explored on the island gave me a taste of what is available. Here are my best & worst beaches near Seminyak Bali. Petitenget …
I didn’t have the best time in Ubud to be honest. Its just not my vibe. Waayyy too touristy for me, missing just about all of its authenticity and generally not pleasant. If you are headed that way though, here are 4 free things to do in Ubud Bali that might be of interest. Campuhan …
Oh monkeys. 🐵 We all know what happened last time I encountered them in Thailand. One might think I had learned a lesson or two. It appears not to be the case. Having fun at the Sacred Monkey Forest Ubud edition, was another learning experience. At least this time, I was not robbed. 😂 The …
I was in complete shock when I arrived into town. It is very clear, that the infrastructure of this once quaint village, has in no way kept up with the growing population and popularity of this part of Bali. Walking the streets & being safe in Ubud is a real challenge and not one I …
