I didnโt 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 …
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 …
Wow! I cannot tell you how excited I am to be here visiting Japan for the very first time in my life! It is a place that, for some reason, I never thought I would get to see in person. I have not done very much research; I want this trip to be as virgin …

Wandering down a new to me road the other morning, I found a green space. I crossed the busy highway, and entered into a grassy area. Overcome with the loveliness of seeing fresh green grass, I wandered in a ways. What I had discovered was Ataturk Kultur Park an oasis in the middle of Antalya. …
I have been walking away from my house in a different direction each day, to try and see what is available around this area. I am deep in a residential neighbourhood and I walk about 20 minutes before I see anything besides apartment buildings. One place I have found that I adore is the beautiful …
As is the norm for me, I went on a walk-a-bout this morning and discovered the most beautiful seaside village of Donja Lastva.
