Tukad Cepung Waterfall

This is one of the must-see waterfalls in Bali!

Tukad Cepung is unique in that it’s hidden in a cave, where rays of sunlight shine through the top making it one of the more photogenic waterfalls on the island.

There’s a well-maintained trail making it fairly easy to get to, but because of this, it can be quite crowded at times. I’d recommend getting there before 9 am when it will be less busy!

Visit Virgin Beach

There are a few different names for this beach including Virgin Beach, White-sand beach, or Pantai Persasi, but all 3 of them will take you to this slice of heaven!

Here you will find a slower, more laid-back version of Bali, a beach without crowds that has crystal clear waters.

It’s the perfect place for those in search of peace as it’s tucked away in a bay, surrounded by coconut-filled

My holiday plan for Summer is finally ready! Before I had made up my mind though, I spent hours and hours trying to decide where I wanted to go and what places I should discover this Summer, and believe me, it wasn’t an easy decision :-). I had so many ideas of what I want to do and where I want to go for my first backpacking trip. Apart from traveling around different provinces in China, this is going to be my very first backpacking adventure where I need to pack lite and travel with my two backpacks around different, in this case, countries till I finally get back home, and by home I mean my home country, not China. At first, I was thinking of Bali Island (Indonesia) but I’ve heard it’s overcrowded with tourists so I gave up this idea. Then I wanted to visit South-East Asia countries:

The price for a single trip can vary between US$20 and US$40 per person (280,000 to 550,000 IDR) – depending on the company.

Buying a round-trip ticket can be significantly cheaper, so plan your stay, and if not sure, pay some extra to get the option to change the return date purchasing an open ticket.

Generally, Sanur is the most convenient port because it is within easy reach from Seminyak, Kuta, Canggu, and the airport. Boats are departing in the morning, as well as in the afternoon.

Although, leaving from Padang Bai can be better for those staying in the East of Bali, such as Candidasa, Sidemen, Amed.

If you like to travel like the locals (and for a cheaper rate!), you can catch the public ferry departing from Padang Bai. The ticket is around 30,000 IDR (US$2). The catch? It can take up to 1h30 and might not be

Before we go into all the details as to why, the short answer is Yes, Lovina Beach is absolutely a must-visit place when in Bali.

What makes it even more amazing is that it truly has something for everyone. Families, solo travellers as well as yogis and nature lovers – we are convinced that anyone will fall in love with this place.

Although Lovina has become a more popular destination with travellers over the years, a lot of people don’t make it to this side of the island, which is a real shame.

It is a lot less hectic than Canggu, Uluwatu or even Ubud and the cultural traditions of Bali are still very present here. You get to enjoy the culture to the fullest and get a sense of the old Bali, pre-mass tourism.

Even though it might be calmer, there is no shortage of fun things to do

How Much Does a Honeymoon in Bali Cost?

When it comes to planning a honeymoon in Bali, prices can range a lot. The average Bali honeymoon hotel will cost somewhere between USD 75-250 a night, while the more luxurious resorts can range anywhere between USD 350-750+ for a night.

Apart from accommodation, you’ll have to account for flight prices and the activities you plan to do on the island as well. I recommend checking your flight options on Skyscanner.

Some activities you might be interested in as newlyweds would be a cooking class, which typically costs around USD 35 per person, or a luxury couple massage which can range anywhere from USD 50-150.

You can also hire a private driver for the day for around USD 40, which will allow you to easily get around and explore the area.

Bali is such a great destination because it caters to

You’re reading this article because you want to find a perfect place to settle for a while to work on your blog. It means that you are:

• about to start a blog,

In all of the above situations – even though your experience level differs – your needs are very similar. You need a place where:

• the internet is fast and reliable,

• there are other bloggers around (so you can network and learn from each other),
• you don’t have to explain to everyone around that you aren’t unemployed, you don’t need help finding a “real” job, and you don’t have unlimited time because you don’t work 9

If you find yourself in Mexico, then you can expect to see plenty of sand and sun, unique landscapes across the country and a colorful culture. But one of our favourite pastimes is learning about (and eating) the traditional Mexican street foods. While most of us are familiar with tacos, burritos and nachos, authentic Mexican street food is so much more than that!

We don’t consider ourselves to be experts (yet!) but we have done our fare share of research and are currently eating our way through Mexico. Instead of shying away from the unknown and sometimes unpronounceable, we’ve put together a guide to Mexican street food to introduce some of the usual options available for you to try at food stands. If you know what to look for, you can enjoy delicious and filling foods for a fraction of

If you want to try your hand at hitch hiking, than New Zealand is the best place to do it. Despite one or two cases making it into the news, New Zealand is still one of the safest and most beautiful places in the world to hitch hike. Of course, hitch hiking always carries with it some risks, but then so does every other activity in this world. So if you are keen to hitch around New Zealand, then this guide will give you the basics.

Why hitchhike in New Zealand?

New Zealand was the first, and only, place I have hitch hiked in. Originally I started hitch hiking because there were no public transport options to where I wanted to get to. It was my only option. Even where there are public transport options, they are often infrequent and rather costly, so hitchhiking is a great way to

Batam Riau Islands is one of the few lesser-known tropical places in Indonesia. Over the years, it’s gained a lot of popularity in tourism for its low-expense holidays. I’ve lived in Batam for almost a decade and here’s how you can build your Batam Itinerary for 4 days.

Take your time and wander the island at your own pace.

Like most of Indonesia, the people are hospitable and calm. So make yourself comfortable as you tread through this Batam Itinerary for 4 days.
