I think the best way for me to even try & describe my experience in Ubud, is to start with the car ride here. Our driver’s name was Ketut and he alone made the fare (only $22 USD) for our ride totally worth it. During the 1 hour & 30 minute drive, he shared an abundance of […]

Today I am writing from Bali! We arrived yesterday evening just in time to freshen up & grab a bite to eat! It was the first time in almost a week that I actually took some time to get ready & put on something other than my go-to tanks & workout shorts (I am sure […]
