Bali: In a Nutshell

Bali: In a Nutshell

Bali was beautiful. Not in your stereotypical bright, white sandy beaches kind of way, but beautiful in a rice fields, temples, my first time in Southeast Asia kind of way. I preferred Ubud and the Gili Islands over the Seminyak/Kuta beaches, mainly because the latter are sooo congested and the others are truly places you […]

Honeymoon for One

Honeymoon for One

On my last night in Bali, I decided to splurge and use SPG points to stay at the W Bali. Sure, I may have been on a honeymoon by myself, but it was the BEST.DECISION.EVER!! I had an ocean facing view, welcome snacks, a magnificent king sized bed, a fluffy bathrobe and the best tub […]

Cooking in Bali…or Not

September 6, 2012 by Beth Meyer

Cooking in Bali…or Not

One of my main goals for this trip was to take a cooking class in every country. I thought I’d fail in New Zealand and it turned out so well. I thought I’d fail in Australia and it ended up working out at the end. And then, the country where they advertise cooking classes ALL […]

Gili T part deux

Gili T part deux

I woke up early on Tuesday and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I decided to go watch the sunrise off the shores of Gili T. For the last night on Gili T, I went with friends, Lauren (who I used to work with and randomly ran into in Ubud…smallllll world!!) and Bart (who I […]

Back to School

Back to School

On my second day of scuba school, we did a few hours in the classroom learning more theory and then after lunch we went out for our second dive. Our second dive was at Shark Point where we saw SOOO many turtles. Probably 15-20. And they were HUGE. I tried to make an X shape […]

Gili T

Gili T

On Sunday morning, Danielle and I took our first solo side trips and I head towards the Gili Islands, while she stayed in Ubud before venturing south to Balangan Beach. I got picked up from the Delicious Onion around 7am then we headed to Padang Bai, the departure point for all boats heading to the […]

Healing Powers

August 28, 2012 by Beth Meyer

Healing Powers

Today, the owner of our Ubud hotel, Mark, took us to see his healer (shaman/medicine man). Danielle and I were both curious about visiting a healer and thought it would fit in nicely with our (Eat, Pray) Love experiences here in Ubud. Our healer, Cokorda Rai is from Lohtunduh, just south of Ubud. He is […]

Cheeky Monkeys

Cheeky Monkeys

One of the things to do in Ubud is visit the Sacred Monkey Forest. We decided to head over (removing all jewelry and sunglasses prior so the monkeys didn’t snatch them up) and see these cheeky little monkeys up close. Note to those planning to visit – make sure to purchase a bunch of bananas […]

Eat, Pray, Love

August 27, 2012 by Beth Meyer

Eat, Pray, Love

Our first full day in Ubud, we decided to really get into the spirit of the place and zen out. We booked a yoga class, followed by an hour and a half long massage. We heard about this spa and yoga retreat, Taksu, online and decided to try it out. It was amazing! We basically […]

Naughty Nuri’s

Naughty Nuri’s

On Sunday morning we hopped in a cab and headed inland to Ubud. Ubud is regarded as the cultural center of Bali, surrounded by rice paddies and a much slower paced atmosphere than that of Seminyak or Kuta. Ubud is also where Elizabeth Gilbert spent her time in Bali during Eat, Pray, Love. Due to […]
