Mother Nature can’t make up its mind between warm Summery weather and rainy Winter in San Diego. As I was going through old pics, I came across this warm memory of South Beach in Miami... 🌞 🏝 😎 Hoping things warm up in So Cal soon! _ _ _ _ #miami #miamibeach #southbeachmiami #southbeach #miamiflorida #miamisouthbeach (at South Beach, Miami, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxP5AOkH3HE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wdowzgvoh18c

Allow the natural flow of life lead you were you must go, and when you have found yourself at new heights, enjoy the sights and ... don’t look down. 😳🤩😉😁 Canton Tower is a landmark in the center of Guangzhou city, it’s the 2nd highest structure in China, if you made it to the top, would you look down? 😱 . . . . . #china #guangzhou #cantontower #guangzhoutower #letsgethigh #observationtower #guangzhouchina #dontlookdown #quotesaboutlife (at Canton Tower Gaungzhou China) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwp2MtbHOWp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=40o7jovgqkuw

Today is my first official day back to work, although I worked partially from home last week. I must say jetlag recovery was a bit gnarly but I’m finally feeling more like myself. I’m not fully transitioned to my current time zone, wanting to go to bed at 7:30-8pm and waking up around 3am. I’m looking at it all with positivity, I’ve never been a morning person, now I’m happy to wake up early. All in all life is good. ☺️ Really missing Bali and it’s warm and welcoming culture. 🧡 Now the question is where to visit next??? . . . . . . #bali #baliindonesia #ubudbali #ubudmarket #ubudmonkeyforest #ubudlife #traveling #travelgram #worldofwanderlust #planetwanderlust #travelbali #balitravel (at Ubud, Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwR4_mdHVHw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mwkp8dax21bq

🐵🧡🐒 One of the cool things about visiting Bali is seeing playful monkeys frolicking in the streets of Ubud, or having them sneak up beside me while exploring Nusa Penida and Uluwatu. The @monkeyforestubudsanctuary is home to about 800 Balinese long tailed Monkeys, here and the neighboring area you can see monkeys freely roaming the streets, swinging between buildings and sometimes jumping on people if they think you have something they want. Many of the monkeys in Ubud are used to being around humans so they let you get close to them. Being a monkey lover since I was a kid, it was enjoyable seeing so many monkeys frolicking openly. 🐵 🧡🐒 . . . . #monkey #monkeysofinstagram #sacredmonkeyforest #ubudmonkeyforest #monkeyforestbali #monkeylove #nusapenidabali #monkeytemple (at Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary Ubud) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMyLnSnZo3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7u80t2bt29l0

Who likes carefree travel?🙋🏻‍♀️ The question that I have been asked by quite a few friends is how did I plan my travels or what was my vacation package? _ I must give @kadek_sudirta a lot of credit as he was my driver for most of my Bali trip. Kadek is way more than just a driver, he made my trip to Bali a breeze. After researching online, I found him and contacted a few months before my travels. I told him what I wanted to see and do while visiting Bali and he came up with a travel itinerary based on my desires. He purchased tickets to temples/attractions and prepaid for fast boat rides to/from neighboring islands that I visited. Since I was traveling alone 1/2 of my trip, it gave me peace of mind knowing that I was well taken care of and portions of my trip were planned out ahead of time. _ Kadek took care of everything from prompt pick-ups and drop-offs, guided tours of Nusa Penida island, temples and south Bali’s Uluwatu region. He was so kind to bring me and @travelingketocat a Kebaya which is traditional temple attire that allowed entry inside the temple at Lempuyang and he even guided us through the prayer ritual. This was a special once in a life time experience and a perfect example of how Kadek stood out from all other Bali drivers. _ Kadek has reliable, safe and air-conditioned transportation. He is happy to take lots of pictures to capture your travel moments, speaks good English, he is kind and knowledgeable. He made excellent recommendations regarding what to see, where to eat and lodging, which left me feeling at ease with minimal planning once I landed in Bali. _ If you are planning on traveling to Bali, I highly recommend contacting Kadek at facebook.com/balitourdriverkadek or WhatsApp [phone]. 👌💯🤩 . . . #balitourguide #balitourdriver #balitours #balidriver #balidrivers #balitravelguide #balitravels #balitraveler #baliindonesia #baliguide #balilocal #travelingbali #traveltobali #travelblogger #travelgram #travelguide #travelguidebali #balitourdriverkadek #bestofbali #balibestdriver #explorebalikpapan #nusapenida #giliislands #uluwatutemple #exploreubud #lempuyangtemple #driverbali #explorebali (at Kelingking Beach Nusa Penida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwFMrGQHJrz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jv09buaaj5em

Today we ventured out on a waterfall hike to #lekelekewaterfall, then a much needed lunch at #warungdedari, and we ended with a tour and sampling at #luwakcoffeeplantation. . . . . . . . #balivacation #baliyogaretreat #ubud #baliyoga #yoga #baliindonesia #baliwaterfall #cali2bali#balijourney #baligasm #baliadventure #balilove #explorebali #wanderlustorbust #UnBALIevable (at Bali, Indonesia.

Loving the Uluwatu area of south Bali, it reminds me a bit of my home beach community in San Diego. It’s a cool little surfer community, meshed with Bali culture. While we were here, we visited Uluwatu Temple and watched the sunset Kecak Fire Dance. We checked out the beach caves at Suluban Beach and the white sandy beaches of Padang Padang. Each area of Bali and even the neighboring islands that I have visited all have something uniquely special to offer. I can’t decide which area is my favorite but I can say this has been the most rewarding and soul-ful experiences of my life. It was my first time traveling alone intercontinentally, when I did meet up with my retreat in Ubud, I had the opportunity to get to know some genuinely great people and we shared memories to last a life time. I am sad to leave but I am grateful for all that the past two weeks have shared with me. ❤️❤️❤️ #BaliFinale . . . . . . . #cali2bali #bali #baliindonesia #balilove #baligasm #lovebali #cali2bali#balijourney #baliadventure #wanderlustorbust #UnBALIevable #sulubanbeach #suluban #finnsbeachclubbali #padangpadang #uluwatu #uluwatutemple #uluwatubeach #uluwatubali #kecak #kecakdance (at Uluwatu, Bali, Indonesia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_dfRmHw9i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ch3tsek495gb

More great memories in Bali... We had such a humbling and spiritually rewarding experience participating in a soul cleansing/ purification ritual known as 'melukat’ at Pura Tirta Empul (Holy Water Temple).

Nusa Penida Island is magical, it felt like I stepped back in time and got to see more how traditional Balinese live. We hiked along side wild monkeys and it all ended with a swim at Crystal Beach. Looking at the pictures now makes me realize that a photo cannot capture the full impact this breathtaking island had on me. . . . . . . . #nusapenida #baliindonesia #cali2bali #kelingkingbeach #angelsbillabong #brokenbeachnusapenida #crystalbeachnusapenida #baligasm #balivacation (at Nusa Penida Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvmv4evHuBB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s1uqkgyriprg
