Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 2 January 2012
This post is part of the Slow Bali article series. Looking back, I think that when I was in Bali, I was looking for the perfect beach, not necessarily the white-sands-and-palm-tree-lined kind, but simply one which not only made me go oooohhh and aaaaaah, but would also make me feel like I was in a [...]

Ubud is about the rice fields
Blog: The Art of Slow Travel - 5 December 2011
This post is part of the Slow Bali article series. For me, Ubud was about the rice fields. The village itself did not impress because it had been taken over by greed and tackiness, but at the edges of Ubud are its verdant rice fields, and a rice field walk was one of the highlights [...]
