The Wonderful Shimha Jungle Retreat in Ubud (and Our First Earthquake!)

I mentioned in my last post that we stayed in an airbnb right next to the Campuhun Ridge Walk and today I wanted to show you a little more about it!  It was an amazing, relaxing experience and I felt so lucky to have snagged such a perfect place!  Psst. I have a cool video to explain just how perfect it is, and a link to book it at the end of this post 🙂 . The Grounds The grounds of the Shimha Jungle retreat were so lush.  You’ll walk through grounds filled with flowers and plants galore and past […]

By day it’s a fun spot to lounge at the pool or sit on the beach side bean bags, grab drinks, and watch the surfers in the ocean. As the sun sets, the bistro lights strung along the palm trees […]

Bali Canggu and Hotel Tugu

This week David and I are celebrating four years of marriage!  We stayed local this year but I can’t help but think back to our epic 3 year anni trip to Singapore and Bali last year.  It was our first time to southeast Asia – I had spent one month in Japan before but had not made it down to the southeast!  And WOW, it blew us away.  As you may know the prices in SE Asia are extremely reasonable and the natural beauty is astounding. Bali is a tiny island in Indonesia but has SO MUCH to offer.  I […]
