Green Therapy: Bali, Indonesia

There are times you want to travel, and there are times you want to take a vacation. 

My trip to Bali had been the latter. 

During a random dinner back in 2013, my friend and decided to book at trip to Bali, for well deserved R&R, considering our hectic work schedules at the time. Since she worked in the hotel industry, we got discounted room rates in an excellent hotel in the Nusa Dua complex. When we arrived in Bali we had no itinerary and rented a van through the receptionist to explore whatever we felt like for the day. It was thrice as expensive as booking with a private van agency / driver from the tourist areas / airport, but we wanted to ensure our safety as we were just two girls travelling so we did not mind. 

Bali certainly has that Honeymoon vibe and relaxing charm that draws people back to its islands over time. Although the areas we went to were the tourist areas and we did not explore the cuisine much (I remember eating in Potato Head twice as we loved the contemporary food, ambiance and drinks), when I go back to the reason why I took this trip (to go on a vacation) it certainly exceeded expectations. 

Book a trip to Bali for an affordable vacation or Honeymoon and get lost in the vibe you need to experience to understand.
