Green is the colour of envy, or so the saying goes. All of us need a bit of green in our lives, even if it's only your backyard. ⁠
⁠
Soaking up nature is one of the joys of living in Bali. Breathe in, breath out and imagine, it works. ⁠

Laughter is what spills over the edge of an inspired life.⁠
⁠
Grab your friends, damn, grab the person closest to you and hang on for a minute. Social distancing has left many of us missing out on the most basic human need; touch. ⁠
⁠
naturally, for now, we have to play it safe but can't you just feel your smile getting wider just thinking about hanging out with friends, laughing at nothing, having fun and feeling free. We're almost through 2019, for all we've learned, it's time to get back to loving life. ⁠
⁠
See you on the edge guys. ⁠

“Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!” said Piglet, feeling him.⁠
Eeyore shook himself, and asked somebody to explain to Piglet what happened when you had been inside a river for quite a long time.”⁠

Bali is one of the world's most spiritual islands and temples are an integral part of our daily lives here. From our home temples to family temples to architectural wonders. Besakih is known as the mother temple, it's position on the slopes of Mt Agung, overlooking the island, is one of the reasons this is a must visit, the other reason is the blessings you enjoy. Life is richer for it. ⁠

The say the 'real Bali' is just a detour...

The say the 'real Bali' is just a detour off the main road, and it is absolutely true. ⁠
⁠
Many of us who have chosen to be #stuckinbali have been discovering the many places that lie beyond the main tourist routes. Discovering villages like Sidemen, that have grown up around incredible scenes that have inspired painters for over a century. ⁠
⁠
Sometimes it feels surreal as you blend into the landscape almost like a figure in one of these paintings. If you stay still long enough you can feel the beauty, it's tangible. ⁠
⁠
Sidemen is just one of many destinations that are making a mark on tourism as first locals and later the world discover what lies beyond the beaten path. ⁠
⁠
There are some beautiful nature-inspired resorts in Sidemen that are well worth packing a bag and shaking off the shackles of popular tourism for. ⁠
⁠
What's on your Bali bucket list? ⁠

"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." – Jacques Cousteau. ⁠
⁠
When you think you've seen it all, head down and discover the incredible world beneath the ocean. Bali and Indonesia is home to some of the world's best diving. ⁠
⁠
From man-made projects to natural wonders, once you have discovered what lies beneath, you too will be hooked. ⁠
⁠
The Liberty Wreck is one of the highlights for divers in Bali. At Tulamban and Amed, on Bali's North Coast, both experienced divers and beginners can enjoy the feeling of weightlessness, revel in the mystery of the deep. ⁠

Life is full of reminders of what we could do, should do, and how good we can be. ⁠

The Bali NewEarth Haven was launched in 2016 and has since become one of the most beloved destinations on the ‘Island of the Gods’. The haven is a world-leading example of bio-resonance and bio-architecture and serves as a fertilisation ground for conscious community development, pro-activism and solutioneering. ⁠
⁠
A short 15 minute drive from UBUD, the spiritual heart of Bali, the restaurant embraces a distinguished raw, vegan and conscious menu that provides plant-based energy sources for those who want to see a different world. ⁠

The breath of life is in the sunlight and the hand of life is in the wind.⁠
⁠
The Bali swing is a lesson in perspective; look forward and you see nature unrolling in the most beautiful way, look behind and you see a line of people impatiently waiting their turn to fly. ⁠
⁠
A little like life really. It's all about perspective. Enjoy the small moments, the big ones come along so seldom. ⁠
⁠
See you in Bali, sooner rather than later we hope. ⁠

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.⁠
⁠
We're all getting a little tired, can you feel it too? The news is a nightmare, anxiety is building and hope is our best friend. And this is what we cling on to as we wait for our world to open up again, so we can do the things we love, relish the feeling of freedom we took for granted for so long. Our time will come again and meanwhile our sense of adventure is ignited, we long to move, to fly, to thrive once more. ⁠
⁠
Every day is a new adventure and no matter how large or small, embracing the adventure in every day is what fuels our passion for a better tomorrow. ⁠
⁠
What are you most looking forward to? ⁠

“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes."⁠
⁠
The traditional Balinese temple-like architecture and carvings at Banjar’s sacred hot springs help create one of the prettiest of Bali’s geothermal baths. Amid lush topical grounds three pools are fed by naturally hot spring water spewing from the mouths of carved stone nagas.⁠
⁠
Travelfish says:⁠
In Hindu philosophy nagas (mythical snake/dragons) are the protectors of springs, wells and rivers. They are believed to bring fertility and prosperity and carry the elixir of life and immortality. We don’t know if that can all be guaranteed by bathing here, but it’s worth a try.⁠

Flying high above the rice fields of Ubud gives one a bird's eye view of the stunning rice fields, rivers gorges and the stunning resorts below. ⁠

⁠
Labuan Bajo, the gateway to the Komodo islands, is located on the western side of Flores island. The protected national park encompasses over 80 islands! The surrounding water is an incredible kaleidoscope of blues with island formations rising out of the calm sea. ⁠
⁠
It is without doubt, Indonesia's most fascinating and stunning destination. Currently undergoing a huge transformation, Labuan Bajo is being converted from a dusty little fishing village into one of the most spectacular places to visit. Just an hour's flight from Bali, it is affordable and beyond incredible. ⁠
⁠
Watch out for our upcoming blog, as we have been blessed to visit recently and see all the changes taking place. ✈️⁠

"If you can't live longer, live deeper." — Italian Proverb⁠
⁠
We don't want to rub it in but truly, there has never been a better time to see Nusa Penida. ⁠While travel bans remain in place, we are truly feeling for all the Bali lovers who cannot visit now. Having paradise all to ourselves feels a little self indulgent but it's also beyond amazing. ⁠
⁠
Are you packed and ready for when the borders open again? We get comments every day from people who want to come back. ⁠

One of Bali's first tourist centres is the beautiful beach front village of Legian. An extension of Kuta, along the same long beach, in recent times it has gained a new audience as the traditional tourist centres are much quieter. The beach is elegant, the waves are gentle, the water is clear. ⁠
⁠
Beach bars selling cold beer and local snacks line the beach front and sunset is peak time. ⁠
⁠
Fit for sun-seekers, @balimandira resort is one of many ocean front resorts along this strip. With a beautiful pool and a stylish beach bar, it encompasses the Legian lifestyle. 💭☀️⁠🌴⁠

Some say that Sekumpul Waterfall is the most beautiful in Bali. What do you think? Without doubt it’s a hidden gem that requires quite a bit of effort to get to. Located in the north of Bali, it’s about 3 hours drive from Kuta ( although faster now without the traffic), and the the rest of the hike down is on foot. It’s absolutely worth it to explore this beautiful natural attraction. ⁠
