Heman’s off to Bali without me (rude), but at least he asked for some useful hints for his family trip in March. Since he’s staying in Canggu—and happening to be there for Nyepi Day (aka Bali’s Day of Silence on March 11), he’s in for a unique experience.

I don’t hit Canggu often, but when I do, my go-to brunch spot is Lusa by Suka, and if you’re looking for a beach club, La Brisa is the one. Of course, I recommend heading to Seminyak—because Ling Lings for Taco Tuesday and Warung Jembung never disappoint.

Garnishes aren’t just pretty—they add flavor, aroma, and a little flair to any drink. Ran low on citrus wheels, so I grabbed fresh limes from Prahran Market and dehydrated them at City Country Chic. It’s ridiculously easy—slice them thin, pop them in the oven overnight, and wake up to perfectly crisp cocktail garnishes.

Bonus? Fresh rosemary from our herb garden for that extra aromatic touch. If I can make these at home, anyone can! 🍸Read on for the how-to!

Poolside workspace, laptop open, margarita in hand—that was the plan. But Bali’s wet season (and my toe situation) had other ideas.

So instead, I’ve found myself just down the road at Warung Jembung, my local go-to and often called the hidden gem of Bali. Nasi goreng ayam, Warung Jembung, and just the right vibe to finally get this website off the ground. Laptop open, progress made… Lemon Smirnoff ordered.

Slowing down wasn’t part of the plan, but maybe it was exactly what I needed. Read on for the full story!

Three days, one toe injury, and an unexpected trip to the dokter later—Bali has a way of keeping things interesting. Between dodging flooded streets and mastering the fine art of waterproofing a bandaged toe, this little mishap has turned into its own mini-adventure. Oh, and if you ever need medical care in Bali, here’s a tip: don’t get caught paying inflated tourist prices—quality treatment doesn’t have to break the bank.

Lesson learned? Always expect the unexpected… and maybe pack extra garbage bags. Read on for the full story!
