Current: Bali, Singaraja

Travelers life 100%. We can't remember the last time we fully unpacked all our stuff ha. Anyway, we love it. Exploring Bali with our cute old school car is pretty cool. What is more cooler is the views we passed. Beautiful landscapes, huge rice fields, mountains, lakes- Bali nature is truly amazing. 

A bit of information about Singaraja- well it's a waterfall place. More than 3 waterfalls if I'm not mistaken. All hiden in magical surroundings. We had a chance to visit the biggest one- Gitgit. Small hiking trip and you can enjoy another natures masterpiece. Loved it ! 

Next stop: Lovina ! 


it's all about the beautiful offerings here in Bali..

Current: Bali, Ubud. #3

So I have been quite obsessed with Earh Caffe- vegan food place I have found in Bali. I'm not a vegan myself (yet), but I have been pescatarian for more than 3 years now. I do occasionally go through faces of eating raw, then vegan and so on.. I think it's a process that I have to experience in order to really learn what my body needs. Anyway, back on "earth caffe" theme. So I dragged ash with me to eat there quite a lot whilst we stayed in Seminyak. And now luckily enough we found one in Ubud. And not just caffee but the first raw cinema as well. Basically the best thing ever. Big projector on the screen, comfiest couches that makes you feel like your watching tv in your living room and plus vegan food, cookies, Popcorns etc.. Love it !!! Oh and I watched "willy wonka and the chocolate factory" for the first time, was very pretty old school movie. 
Really enjoyed the whole experience there, I think it's definitely a pretty cool way to spent your evening whilst your in Ubud.

Current: Bali, Ubud. #2


Can't get enough of Ubud & It's surroundings. There's just too much to see, feel and taste...
I'm an early bird, so for me to wake up 6 o'clock or even earlier is pretty easy, for Ashley on the other hand is like a tortune.  Being good girlfriend I woke him up at 06:30, we managed to get quick breakfast and started our early adventure. Pretty small one. Only 15 minutes drive and we reached our destination- Talalagan Rice Terraces. I had read that if you want to avoid big crowds of tourists it's better to head there pretty early, but to our surprise it was completely empty when we got there. Even the beautiful bars were still closed. We had all the luxury to walk around and just really feel the whole atmosphere. For me it's definitely one of those "eat pray love" moments. It's hard to explain, but everything seems so surreal. You see locals working on this masterpiece, it makes you instantly question how they do it, how they keep everything so neat and perfect.

If you are ever in Bali, please never miss out on this. For nature lovers it's a sweet cupcake, something to warm up the heart.

Reflections: Singapore #1



Our 7 month journey started in Singapore. We were welcomed there by my relatives, who were more than nice to let us stay in their place for a month. 
First thoughts about the Lion City- it's pretty Futuramic. Skyscrapers, busy streets, shopping malls on every corner, it seems like everything is on your door step. Spotless streets and hundreds of restrictions, Singapore government definitely knows how to rule the country. 
Even though the country is quite tiny, there's so much to see and do. Since our plan to find work there and stay more than a month did not work, we slowly started to explore and make sure we made the best of our time there. 
We definitely managed to check of all of our "to do" in Singapore list with the help of family and new friends.

Current: Bali, Ubud. #1

Oh Bali, don't know where to start.. our deep love affair started couples months ago when we first flew here from gigantic Singapore airport. I guess i knew even before that i'm gonna really love this place, you know all that "eat pray love" movie fantasy was playing in my mind, for Ashley i guess was completely different, he had no idea what to expect from this trip. Only beach life i guess. And we definitely have found that, but not just that..
Bali instantly became a place so so close to our hearts, i believe you either click with new surroundings straight away, or you don't (of course exceptions are everywhere). Luckily we did. We have already seen quite a big part of Bali: Seminyak, Kuta, Uluwatu, Sanur, Ccangu and all the in between  touristy places, which we going to get back to in next posts. Currently we are in Ubud- for us maybe the heart of Bali. Cozy, traditional, colorful, spiritual, friendly town. We were quite lucky to find cheap and very pretty accommodation to stay (Puji Bangalow's). It's close to the city, but also out from all the noises. We live in cutest bangalow with amazing porch where every morning we eat our breakfast and have a small "reading club". Little perfection to be honest.
We have already managed to see quite a bit of Ubud and some closest places to it. First small road trip we took to Tegenungan waterfall. It took us only 20 minutes from the city, road was very pretty itself with beautiful palm trees leading us to the destination. Waterfall was amazing. Surrounded by so much greenery, whole time we could not understand how people were moaning on tripadvisor saying that waterfall is nothing special. It's brilliant. We made our way down (small workout never killed nobody) and had a nice time taking all it's beauty in from up close. I guess we are nature kids, anywhere where it's so much green colour, so much life, we just absolutely love it.
Here are some photo's from our small adventure.

Hello there,


Hey guys, family members, friends etc...
Finally, finally we decided to start some kind of online diary to capture our memories during the travelings we do. Quite exciting, right? It's gonna be a place for us to share our thoughts, pictures and all kinds of adventures we face each day.
Hope you enjoy reading it and taking a look inside our current life.
Greta and Ashley

Oh since we are nearly 4 months into our 7 months traveling, we gonna try do daily "looking back" posts of the adventures we have already experience.
