It is nearly 10 years since I came to Gili Air, and I am still deeply in love with this wonderful paradise island. With palm trees along the coastline, white sand beaches, crystal clear water, and the wonderful view of the majestic Mount Rinjani on Lombok, Gili Air had my heart from day one. These […]

Coming back, a fully grown black-tip reef shark followed us the entire way. Upon arrival at the Teman liveaboard another appeared. We immediately baptised them “Sharky and Hutch”. Ha Ha!

One of my lovely guests told me: “Julie, when you go to Ubud, you have to go see the sound healer, he is amaaazing!” So off course I did 😀 As he says so well, it is very hard to describe what he does exactly. Whithout a doubt, I would say the same to you:  […]
Ubud is known to be THE place to practice yoga, meditation, get enlightened and heal. Yes, off course we agree. Thats exactly what the name stands for and it is.
