Bali monkeys, Where to see them
I can’t finish this travel series without dedicating one post to animals and Bali monkeys. All of you probably know stories about the Monkey Forest or the Uluwatu Temple complex where Bali monkeys often take sunglasses and cameras from tourists. I told you already that you should buy fruit before taking a walk toward Uluwatu. […]
Bali rice fields, What to see
The island is special in a lot of ways and here is what to expect when it comes to Bali rice fields and food. I don’t usually write about food when traveling, but the Balinese colorful markets, such variety of fruit and spices, along with a few unusual meals I had on the island, came […]

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