I have been to quite a few places that are popular with tourists, most of them feel very “American-ized” for lack of a better word. I remarked in a different answer that even Vietnam felt all too familiar to me as an American. While there’s a Starbucks and a few chain restaurants here and there in Bali, this is absent from most of the island. Once outside the major population centers, Bali very much feels like a place from a different time. This was refreshing and fascinating to me.

Walking through these vast open fields with the mountains standing tall in the background… moments like this make everything else fade away. So grateful to be here.

I’ve never been so conflicted about a place I’ve visited. After training in Muay Thai for two months in Thailand in the northern city of Chiang Mai, I thought I’d take some time to hang out near a beach. Some rest and relaxation, I thought. So, with doing very little research besides watching a few YouTube videos, I booked a flight to Bali and booked a month’s stay at a villa in Canggu. During my time here, I have used the weekends to explore other parts of the island to really get a good feel for the place.
