During the 8 years I’ve been blogging the way readers find my blog has changed massively. Whereas I used to get a lot of blog traffic without much action on my part, in 2018 I’m working hard to make sure my content is seen. For any bloggers out there who would like to increase their … Read more
There are over 18,000 islands in Indonesia yet over 1 million Aussies each year flock to just one of them. That’s you, Bali. I’m a big fan of Bali, especially the more laid-back areas of Canggu and Ubud, but lately some of the lesser-known islands of Indonesia have entered my travel radar. So for travellers who like … Read more
Skiathos is the Greek Island you need to know if you’re after a chic yet understated holiday. This small island in the Sporades has a lust-worthy mix of beachfront bars, a white-walled old town and picture-perfect pools with a much more affordable price tag than some of the more Instagrammed Greek Islands. So if you’d … Read more
Although being a travel blogger has meant I’ve been able to call some awesome tropical locations my ‘office’, my recent trip to Bali was the first time I saw what happens when you team dreamy destinations with co-working spaces. This forward-thinking crop of co-working, and now also co-living, companies aren’t just offering a place to work but … Read more
I dreamed of this. I looked down at the pool, the mist rolling off the valley, the reflection of the clouds in the water and thought I’d just stepped into a dream. I first came across Alila Ubud while researching destination wedding venues last year. Although, for purely logistical reasons, we decided the hotel wasn’t … Read more
Life is guud in Canggu. That was going to be the title of this post but then I realised that not only is it corny but probably terrible for SEO. No doubt starting a post this way is too. Anyway.. Life really is good in Canggu. I’m on my 3rd full day in this coastal … Read more
After eating and latte-ing my way around Canggu in Bali I was worried that Ubud wouldn’t produce as many awesome cafes. Pah! There’s not a community of expats and travellers based here for nothing. As well as offering jungle and rice paddy views, the cafes in Ubud are cranking out home roasted coffee and salads … Read more
On my recent trip to Bali I was eager to learn more about the Balinese Hindus who leave such colourful and incense-filled offerings all around the island. I chose to stay in Canggu and Ubud, which are slightly less touristy areas than where I stayed on my previous visit, and was set up with a … Read more
When I travel where I stay is more than just a place to rest my head. A good (or bad) hotel, for me, can really change my perception of a destination and massively affect the quality of the holiday. As a solo traveller the location and safety rating of a property is crucial, as are … Read more
The impromptu trip I took to Bali the other week was bliss in more ways than one. Not only did I love playing the role of ‘digital nomad’ in Canggu and Ubud but I’ve loved losing myself writing up the stories since. I went to Bali because I wanted to be able to bring fresh … Read more
