I can honestly say I met the most polite, kind, and hospitable individuals while I was there. I have been to 3 different countries and eight different states and nothing compares to how Balinesians treated my friends and I... Posted June 19, 2023

Nonetheless, a feeling of excitement stirred within me and fueled the next few days of activities... Posted May 30, 2023
It is currently day 3 of my study abroad trip in Bali, Indonesia and I can honestly say so far this has been the most eye-opening experience. I want to begin my blog post from a pit stop in Japan on the way from the United States... Posted May 29, 2023
Daily offerings are seen all over Bali as they have belief in the spiritual life as well as the physical life. On day three of the trip, we got to attend a banjar workshop and one of the activities was leaving to make daily offerings. There is a strong connection between... Posted May 28, 2023
Before going to Bali, I had never traveled outside of the country but, it was always something that I have dreamed of. Getting to Bali took around four days' worth of traveling with... |
