Bali Pictorial
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 23 April 2012
Those who know us well – especially fellow nomads – have expressed surprise that we spent so much time in Bali, a destination they associate with package tourism and sprawling resorts. In all honesty, I avoided Bali on my first trip to Indonesia ignorantly dismissing the island as little more than tourist central. But guess [...]

Mysterious Sand
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 30 November 2011
Although Kuta’s main beach, Pantai Segar, is often overlooked due to the more beautiful white-sand beaches outside town, a closer look reveals a rather extraordinary natural phenomenon. Each tiny grain of sand looks like a hand-chiseled work of art. Sure, the perfect little spheres are pretty, but walking across them is like walking across a [...]

Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 28 November 2011
Our journey across Nusa Tenggara, the island chain that stretches across central Indonesia from Lombok to Alor, should carry us through a series of different tribal groups that call the region their home. The Sasak people are the first of those tribes, and we had the opportunity to witness a bit of their life in [...]

Beaches of Southern Lombok
Blog: ContemporaryNomad - 25 November 2011
Sane Visitors to Indonesia don’t necessarily associate the name “Kuta” with pristine nature and tranquility… or do they? Kuta in Lombok has the same name as Bali’s (in)famous tourist hub, but Kuta, Bali and Kuta, Lombok have very little in common. Although both are known for epic waves and endless beaches, Kuta Lombok lacks the [...]

The Saturday City: Kuta
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 15 May 2010
After my visit to Bali, I totally saw why so many expats move there. Bali is a beautiful, cheap, and verdant tropical island worthy of everything that is written about it. If it had better Internet and ended those rolling blackouts, I would move there. Except not for Kuta beach. Kuta beach is the [...]

Escaping Kuta, Bali, Indonesia
Blog: Chronicles of a year-long break-up - 20 April 2010
Like most visitors I have a love/hate relationship with Kuta. At the root of my confusion is a glaring contradiction; I want to stay forever yet I want to leave this instant. Even in exactly the same situations my feelings are hot one day and icy the next. One night I am never happier than [...]

Bali—Trouble in Paradise
Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 28 January 2010
By Nick Lewis, KF10 Indonesia Ok FREEZE. What’s the first image that pops into your head when I say…….Bali. Chances are it has very little to do with poverty and almost certainly has nothing to do with microfinance or the Kiva Fellows program. In fact, it probably doesn’t even have much to do with local Indonesians. When [...]

If there’s one tip I could give wannabe round the world travellers that I failed to pick up on during my fifteen months of planning, it would be to think carefully about where you want to spend the Christmas and New Year period.

Time to hit the beach
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 9 December 2009
I’d had rather a hectic five weeks since leaving Santiago – 8 long flights, 3 12 hour overland journeys, and staying in 14 different places in 4 different countries, and quite frankly after all that I was knackered. This called for serious measures: time to hit the beach. Now the problem with that is there [...]
