My thoughts exactly!
My time is Bali has been OK so far. As I mentioned before Kuta and Seminyak seem to be overly touristy with bars and nightclubs and a whole lot of things that I’m just not really interested in for this trip. Continue reading
Landing in Bali
As you can see I’m quickly making my way around Asia. I arrived in Bali yesterday and the place was packed! I had already read that the taxi ride from the airport to the town that I would be staying in would be $7-10 but when you hear the price in local currency (Indonesian Rupiah), 70,000, it sounds ‘spensive.

It has been exactly 35 days since I left home to embark on this journey of the unknown. While a great deal of my posts are filled with rants about my daily occurrences I am by no means spending each and every second of my time wandering aimlessly.

I’ll make this post brief since these posts are turning out to be carbon copies of the rest.

Just wanted to check in. Just in case any of you were wondering if I had fallen in a ditch or was in jail or something.

Cheers!
I’m sure some of you have noticed that I don’t add specific hotel or store names to any of my posts. It’s in large part due to the fact that none of these places are paying me to advertise and I don’t think omitting names bears any weight on the delivery of a great story. If anyone would like to know specific names or anything that I have mentioned I will be more than happy to tell you in a private email.
Ok now that all of that is out of the way. Continue reading
..and not in a good way. I had already been warned that Kuala Lumpur was going to be a tad bit overwhelming. Especially coming from a quiet island. Being in Perhentian and Penang I almost forgot how hectic it can be to be a tourist in a ridiculously touristy place. Continue reading
My leaving Perhentian Islands seemed bitter sweet. While I was so over the giant *dogs* mosquitos, horrible service at eateries, and my mind not being able to relay to my stomach that “YOU MUST DO #2 IN THE BATHROOM” I will definitely miss the great things that these islands have to offer.
