  • Where to Stay in Indonesia

Bliss Sanctuary Health Retreat for Women, Bali

When, after an air-conditioned pick up in Ubud, you’re greeted with open arms by a hostess the second you arrive in Canggu, before being offered a cold flannel and a freshly squeezed juice, you know you’re in for a good week. So began my time at Bali’s Bliss Sanctuary for Women in Bali.  Lucy Pearson…

A Luxury Detox Retreat at Blue Karma Resort, Bali

As someone with a fairly sizeable appetite, and the kinda girl who orders a smoothie, a latte, and an extra side of avocado on top of an already generous brunch, the whole ‘detox’ thing has never really been well, my thing. My mind is almost always on when and from where my next meal is coming,…

20 Photos of Indonesia to Inspire You to Travel Beyond Bali

Like many, my first travel experiences in Indonesia were based in Bali. While I still visit Bali often and even got married on the island, I have been fortunate to have travelled well beyond Bali, discovering that Indonesia has so much more to offer visitors than the one, very busy destination. I hope this Indonesia photo gallery…

Life-Changing Travel Experiences Across Asia

As I’ve adapted travel as a lifestyle, it’s also become a very important part of my yoga practice. In the same way that asana (postures), pranayama (breathing) and meditation have led to self-discovery and internal awareness, these natural wonders have offered me a profound feeling of connection with the world.  Mary Tilson In Matthew Remski’s…

Weekend Wellness at Desa Seni Village Resort, Bali

The moment you step onto the property at Desa Seni village resort, preferably barefoot, a feeling of relaxation begins to set in.

Why Flores and Komodo Should be on Your Indonesia Bucket List

I had pored over photos of Komodo National Park long before I was invited to see it in person.
