If you head south to Canngu while in Bali go with the intention to eat and be lazy. It is the perfect hub for partiers and digital nomads. Strange mix but it offers things that both need. Cheap places to stay, the beach and Instagram-able cafes. I had spent a week sight seeing and doing…
Eat Pray Love put Ubud on the map. Now the small village has outpaced its capacity. It can be crowded and hectic but there is serenity around every corner if you just look for it. The traffic can be overwhelming but then you head down an alley and find quiet in a coffee shop or…
Have you taken a yoga class and want to deepen your practice? Have you never tried it but always wanted to? Or do you just want to relax, unwind and connect? All are viable reasons to spend time on a yoga retreat. You don’t need to be an expert( but you can be), you don’t…
There are a few reason’s Kerala is called Gods Own Country, but looking around you can see why it stuck. Kerala is beautiful. It is mountains, beaches and serenity. It is not as loud and abrasive as northern India. It is much less unassuming, It doesn’t have the giant Taj Mahal or places of the…

In my efforts to push myself and see different parts of the places I visited I signed up for a press trip to Banaue and Sagada. Rice terraces and hanging coffins. Sounded tough but doable. Maybe I’ll start doing the ones that just involve lying on beaches,

My first introduction to Z Hostel Manila was not as a guest to the rooms but a guest to the roof top bar. I had been in Manila for two nights when the owner graciously hosted an unofficial opening night party for us bloggers.
