BACKPACKING IN BALI, BABY!

When most people think of Indonesia, Bali comes to mind almost instantly. And we, too, found it to be a delightful island. While it’s relatively small compared to the other islands, the bustling crowds can make it take a while to get from point A to B. Nevertheless, the island truly has it all – beautiful beaches, vibrant green rice fields, stunning nature, and plenty of trendy spots. Bali stands out from the rest of Indonesia, primarily because the majority of its population follows Buddhism. This gives the island a unique character, with different cuisine, colorful offerings encountered daily, and numerous temples to explore.
