You will never run out of things to do in Bali. However, after reading the book Eat, Pray, Love, many people find themselves curious about visiting a traditional healer, or balian.

Learn How To Paint In Bali
Ubud, Bali is home to many artists and painters. I knew before I arrived that one of the things I wanted to learn while I was here was how to paint. I wasn’t sure, though, how to go about finding someone to teach me. As I was wandering the streets of Ubud one afternoon, some guys who were sitting on the sidewalk asked where I was going. I decided to ask them if they knew where I could take a painting class. They laughed, both moved in opposite directions to reveal a sign that said, “Open Painting Class-Have Fun Time With Balinese Artist.” I knew, immediately, that I was meant…

Amed, Bali Pictures
If I could describe Amed in just one word, it would be peaceful.

Most of these pictures were taken from my beautiful bungalow on a hilltop at the Bedulu Resort. …

Alchemy-A Juice Bar And So Much More-Ubud, Bali
What is Alchemy, you ask? Alchemy is part vegan café and salad bar, part juice bar, part retail shop and health store, part gathering place, part community builder and part health clinic. Alchemy is a treasure, and I’ve never been anywhere like it in all of my travels. First of all, the juices they offer are amazing. Nutritious, organic, and absolutely delicious, they are the perfect tonic to the Bali heat. I loved the fact that their straws are made from papaya. The restaurant serves salads, and what an amazing salad you will get. First of all, they are huge, and you get to decide what toppings you would like…

Yogi’s Paradise And Grill- A Great Restaurant in Bali
Of all the restaurants in Kuta, Bali, I was most impressed by Yogi’s Paradise And Grill. The trick, though, is finding the place. It took me three attempts to find it. I am glad, though, that I don’t give up easily, as I was well rewarded for my efforts. It is down a small alley or gang, more in the area of Legian than Kuta. It is down the gang across from the Melasti Beach Resort. The easiest way to get there is to ask for the Island Hotel. It is just around the corner. Or just stay at the Island Hotel, as they have an amazing breakfast. Then, amble…
