I think I found the best waterfall in Bali, care to join me? Sometimes the tourist traps just get you down, you have seen a million temples, taken the same photo as everyone else of that monkey on your shoulder and feel like something different. The hardest paths usually lead to the greatest rewards because no one else has the energy to go that extra mile for something worth pulling out your camera. I was staying in Ubud and I knew my dear friend Raph was in town. He sugge

Stepping into the heart of mother nature my journey led me to this. Cracking open my eyes, my ears caught the sound of a giant flying insect, time to rise into the darkness, another one of natures wonders was awaiting me. I was up an hour early as my phone decided to changed its time to Bali time, watch out for that one.

Uluwatu, Bali's chill town. Firstly, its hard to say the perfect location. All the hostels are a 30 minute scooter ride to most beaches, and the beaches are all over Uluwatu, best have your scooter license or at the very least be willing to ride one. My first encounter was with a passenger on the back, chaotic traffic and bugs flying into my face. Probably best it started that way, because after that, it only got easier.

"What are the road rules in Indonesia?" This was the first thing I asked the fellow working at my hostel, he looked at me, glanced left and laughed, "no road rules."
