Back to Bali

Surprise, I’m in Bali! If I didn’t tell you, it’s because I didn’t want you to think I was being too indulgent with my travels. But why shouldn’t I indulge in my travels, especially when it brings me back here?

A month ago, I made this whole life update video, and since then I updated everything again. Number one, I’m going back to the states a bit earlier than I expected. Number two, I’m going to have to save Japan for a later trip. Number three, I am going to El Salvador with Surf Sweat Serve (and there’s still room for you to come too!) And number four, I’m in Bali!

I moved my stuff out of my apartment and back into my friend Mike’s place (thanks, Mike!). My parents came back to Sydney for a couple more days, and we had a nice waterfront dinner together in the Rocks area down by the harbour bridge. I said goodbye to them so I could fly to Denpasar the next morning.

I’m in Ubud for the week taking a yoga workshop with Kino Macgregor, another inspiring teacher. I’d forgotten all of the magic of Ubud. Walking to dinner last night, I was reminded of the flower baskets that Balinese people place outside their doors in the mornings and evenings. They’re topped with incense sticks and leave the streets smelling wonderful.

Two years ago, I was only in Ubud for a couple of days, but this week I’ll have a bit more time for excursions. I’m looking forward to doing and seeing more beyond the busy markets humming with motorbikes. Glad to be here again!
