Everyone has their own travel experience in Bali, which leaves them with their own view of the ‘Island of the Gods.’ Karyn Lindberg, from America visited Bali in November, and gives some useful tips for people on their first visit.
Karyn overcame the terrifying travel warnings, crippling jet lag and the impossible new culture, only to find that Bali was wonderful, her base of Ubud, was awash with handy, smiling locals, all ready to paint her a picture, and drive her around. Well I never!
