Wanderlust adventures: Indonesia Part I - Bali Dreaming

It's hard to resist traveling to Asia more-so than other parts of the world for us Aussies because it's cheap, easy, and not in Australia, lol. Not to mention, Indonesia is our closest Asian neighbour (5 hour direct flight form Melbourne) and Jetstar deals are too good not to take advantage of. Bali has never been on top of my list in terms of travel however the flight deals got the better of me and I booked right away. Like anywhere I travel to, whether it's local, interstate or overseas, I like to keep an open mind and expect nothing. Aussies love Bali and now I know why, the Balinese people are incredibly hospitable, friendly and don't be offended if they ask you personal questions it's just their way of getting to know you. Anyway, here's a quick recap of my trip back in April-May...

Wanderlust adventures: Coconut Vibes, Hawaii

They say home is where the heart is and my heart felt just right. Hawaii, I loved you before I even stepped foot, this has to be one of my top happy places I've had the pleasure of visiting during my travels.

Here are my top 5 things to do while in Hawaii (but not limited to);
1. Hire a car and do a day trip around Oahu
2. Take a hike - so many volcanoes, peaks and trails you can do on any of the Islands
3. North Shore food trucks - You may have heard great reviews on Giovanni's Shrimp Truck but there's so much more on offer, you just have to look
4. KCC Farmer's Market - a good route is to do a sunrise hike up the Diamond Head then have breakfast at the KCC Farmer's Market, you're gonna need that fuel afterwards.
5. If you're looking for total isolation and relaxation - take the ferry from Maui to Lanai and check out their untouched beaches or stay overnight at the Four Seasons

So much more you can do but those are my faves!
