Bali 2020
Bali 2020 spans an extended stretch of time on the Island of the Gods, taking in the full sweep of what makes this corner of Indonesia so compelling — the terraced rice paddies of Ubud, the surf-beaten black sand of the southern coast, and the low haze of incense drifting from a thousand roadside shrines. Over the course of two years, the traveller would have watched Bali shift through its seasons: the wet months turning everything a deeper green, the dry months drawing bigger crowds to Seminyak and Canggu. Likely highlights include early mornings at Tirta Empul temple before the heat builds, long evenings eating babi guling somewhere far from the tourist trail, and the kind of slow, unhurried rhythm that this island rewards if you stay long enough to find it. A trip that clearly grew into something more than a holiday.
