Bali. How do I even begin to describe my first trip to this magical island in Indonesia? As a solo traveler, I am always looking for my next adventure. Bali was everything and more. I was able to relax, trek through rice terraces, meet some amazing locals, experience the Balinese food and traditions, and fall in love with the city. Bali is a place I can see myself going back to every year for the rest of my life, that is how much I loved it.
Here is a photo journal of some of the places I went that I hope inspire you to visit.

It was one of my favorite experiences in Bali. I had been seeing photos of them on Pinterest for years and for me it was one of those moments where I was like, “Wow, I am here. This is amazing.”
I can imagine!! 🙈
Oh this seems like an amazing experience, awesome pictures! I want to go there!!!
Amazing pictures! Bali is one of my all time favourite travel destination. I have done backpacking, adventure, luxury and yoga holidays there, plus couple of work trips, all equally wonderful 🙂
I am looking forward of going to my yoga and meditation jungle retreat by a river in Ubud, the beginning of next year. I can hardly wait to see the smiling happy faces to re welcoming me to the paradise.
WOW, i love Bali!! What a wonderful photos!! You really inspire me and i want to go there now!!! My favorite thing is a rose bath! Its seems so relaxing 🙂
Great photos! We went to Bali for a week a few years back. It was magical and beautiful. Like nothing else we have ever seen. If it didn’t take sooooooo long to get there from the states, we would head back soon!
I am flying to Bali in Feb 2017. Would you recommend any other sightseeing places or attractions other than temple visits and spa? All the pictures look nice.
Bali is one of my all time favourite travel destinations. I have visited there 10 times and done everything from backpacking to luxury yoga and meditation retreats. I will never get tired of the beautiful smiling faces of truly happy Balinese people!
I am actually moved by there for a few months and I’m so pumped!!
Can’t wait to travel here one day, it’s one of my top dream destinations so you’ve put it back on my radar in the last few weeks on Instagram!
Bali looks like an incredible place, I’d love to travel there someday!
