They say that one of the many quirks of happiness is going away in a campervan with your best friends or the love of your life. And I’ve always never been the romantic one but I thought of this last night before I went to bed. And I’ll say yeah. Maybe for the love of …
We use abbreviation mostly to shortened a word or simply to squeeze a lot of writing into a small space. And perhaps it is cute to call anything with cute nicknames; Like “Elyu” for the surf town La Union. And “Chris” for Christopher. And “Frappe” for Frappuccinos although I’m pretty sure your barista will correct …
They say that there’s one Beatles song for every one of your moods. When you’re feeling lonely? Eleanor Rigby. When you’re feeling nostalgic? In My Life. When you’re feeling mega-high on life?

Going to the Gilis was a confirmation that I wasn’t following my original plan at all. I ditched my flight back to Bali, I stayed in Lombok longer than expected, and I pulled out from all the plans that I was supposed to do the coming weekend in the jungles of Ubud. I was already …
Sitting on my motorcycle, I pushed the kickstand back and then I turned the key in the ignition to the ON position wearing a rather surprised face, “55 kilometers?!” I screamed at Jerome while he verifies on google maps the distance of Tetebatu from Kuta. “Yeah,” he answered, chuckling silently as he put his helmet …
