Even though the island is part of the (mostly Muslim) country of Indonesia, it has a strong Hindu tradition, and therefore the temples in Bali are extremely important. More than 85 percent of the 4,2 million island […]
Besakih Temple
One of the landmarks I was eager to see in Bali was the Besakih Temple also known as the Mother Temple. It looked so surreal in all the photos I saw. And I was so curious to climb up the ancient steps. The guide took me to one of the sarong workshops where women painted […]
A perfect Bali weather

Singapore to Bali
This is how I traveled from Singapore to Bali. And who would have thought Bali would become such a “trendy” island?

Mount Nebo Jordan: Impressions
Mount Nebo Jordan is one of the places to visit in the Middle East. I was surprised to learn that Jordan houses some of the most important religious landmarks related to Judaism and Christianity.

Ancient city of Petra
Every traveler knows that one of the stops in Jordan has to be the ancient city of Petra. It was in some movie (and it wasn’t Indiana Jones III) that I saw Petra for the first time. I was sure that it was just another movie set because I couldn’t believe that something like this […]
