    Bali Bliss: Unique Things To Do In Ubud

    July 1, 2019 / No Comments

    Ubud, just an hour away from the airport in Bali, is most people’s favorite place to base themselves on a trip to Bali. However, it can be very easy to heed the call of “transport?” and get caught up in leaving Ubud every day.

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
