Bali is a pick your own adventure kind of place, but you really have to know what you’re looking for. For some crazy partying you have to go to Kuta and Legian. Fancy some high end shopping, restaurants and hotels, head straight to Seminyak. Looking for the chilled out surf […]
Banaras (aka. Varanasi) I was born here, spent the first 18 years of my life here. The city has influenced me in ways that I can’t even begin to describe or fathom. But I know this for sure… this city is where I developed a taste for food. Amazing food! […]
