Bali

Description

Bali is an Island in Indonesia. It is an excellent place to be, but it is full of tourists and digital nomads. There is almost a sub-culture there.

Best Experiences​

Surfing was a highlight, and it was easy to learn to surf there. Uluwatu is known as a surfer's paradise.

In Ubud, there are lots of retreats for yoga and meditation. I went to a silent retreat. It was very cool to go there and experience being detached from modern life's stress and constant disturbances.

Gili Was Cool,

Souvenirs​

  • Bali Coffee is nice to bring back home.
  • They are quite proud of their local liqueur, Arak.

Food​

  • Pork Belly Satay was super lovely. It is called Sate Babi Samcan YouTube Rudimentary Recipe
  • There were many different vegan options; one thing I noticed was all the breakfast and brekkie places. It was very noticeable.

Gili

I went to Gili Trawangan over easter in 2023; I had some pleasant experiences there and felt it was living up to a relaxed place.

  • I took a diverse introductory certificate there. Pretty fun and interesting place to visit.
  • If you can take a cooking course, I can recommend a cool way to vibe with the local cuisine and get inspired.
  • Run around the island, which is a very nice trip, then take a bath afterward.
  • Snorkeling is cool, also.
  • We had a lot of issues with the ferry, lots of hucksters trying to get you to take "their boat." Be careful there.

Thoughts

  • Bali is predominantly a Hindi Island, which might explain why it is so popular as a meditation retreat.
  • Everyone there was super polite and nice.
  • I quite liked the places I visited.
  • When on a silent retreat, I experienced caffeine withdrawals.
