Hi Gram, I’ll be honest with you, I’m writing some of these posts weeks after things actually happened (in this case, two months). A LOT has happened between then and now, and my memory isn’t great. I forgot to write things down this evening, so I’m reconstructing the day from pictures that I took. As…

Hi Gram, First of all, I want to tell you that travel life isn’t always peaches and unicorns. Some days, things just don’t go right, and today was one of those days. A group of us had decided yesterday to head over to Nusa Penida for a day of scootering and sightseeing. Of course, getting…

Hi Gram, I forgot to write down what happened today, but here are some pictures…

Hi Gram, Today was amazing! I woke up to the soothing sound of waves crashing against the cliffs, trying to lull me back to sleep. I resisted, though, knowing my friends were waiting for our morning scooter adventure. The group staying at the Cliff Park slowly gathered and made our way to the parking lot,…

Hi Gram,What a day! I woke up bright and early this morning, excited because today was the big island switch! After my usual morning routine, I tackled the largest nemesis of travel: packing. I’m planning to greatly reduce my packing volume next time I’m home in America. For now, my suitcase is basically a game…

Hi Gram, What a day to remember! I’ve moved over to this charming little spot called Janis Place—right across from the Plataran. The room? Simple, comfy, and just right. I kicked off the day with my usual morning routine, which, hilariously, included finishing off some chocolate I’d bought earlier in the week. (It would’ve been…

Hi Gram, Today was like a field trip for us. I woke up early and joined the group for breakfast before they headed off to the water temple. I visited the temple last year, but since I’m not a fan of getting wet or participating in religious ceremonies, I ended up just sitting around. This…

Hi Gram, The past few days have been a mix of fun and excitement! After my first night in the huge suite, I realized it was a bit much for just sleeping and showering, so I decided to trade rooms with my friends Alan and Katie. They’re full-time travelers like me and would definitely get…

Hi Gram, We’ve been having such a fun and relaxing time in Munduk these past few days, but it’s time to pack up and head back to Ubud for the next leg of our adventure. This morning, I stayed in bed a little longer, enjoying the view of the rice fields before begrudgingly dragging myself…

Hi Gram,Today was an exciting day. I slept alright last night, but not great. The Iguanas are loud and this bed isn’t the most comfortable. The resort is very nice, though. The wall next to my bed is a panel of glass windows and sliding glass doors looking out onto rice fields, so I wake…
