KELINGKING BEACH

Bali is known to be one of the most affordable vacation destinations in the world. People come from near and far to sunbathe on the beaches, living the beach bum life for a week or two at a time. And that's exactly what I did in January of 2019! Only 19 years old, a group of five friends and I took the journey across the world to experience the vacation oasis that is Bali, visiting everything from the jungle and underground cave waterfalls to famous beach clubs and local street markets- and I'm here to help you do the same.

MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR TRIP TO THE INDONESIAN ISLANDS

In case you didn't already know, I'm a traveler who resides from a small town on the East Coast of the United States. This means that for me and my friends to travel to Bali, we had to fly a total of 21 hours straight. While you may be a little closer than this, if you are traveling all the way to this remote island, you definitely want to maximize the time you are spending there. Fortunately, I have come up with a list of topics to help guide you during your travels and make sure that you get to see all of the amazing things Bali has to offer without emptying your wallet. To learn more about the Bali Zoo, Ubud's famous Monkey Forest, and more, take a look at all the informative blogs I've written on Bali outlined below!
