Bali is known by many yet understood by so few

It’s only natural that a person’s perception of the world would shift when traveling from the West to the East.

The unfamiliar sights, scents, and tastes. Most of us knew only the bare minimum about Bali when we first began exploring options.

Bali evolves like most places in the world. Even though Bali has always stuck to its cultural roots, certain things change for the better or worse.
Wars, pandemics, or other unanticipated events may alter things dramatically.
New regulations and rules, travel restrictions, spiked airline tickets, airport closures, and other changes to our lives as we know them.
