“Bali is not just an island; Bali is a teacher. Once it gets under your skin, you will be in love with Bali forever. Once you taste the true joy and freedom Bali offers, returning to old ways is difficult. Yet, too, I have seen visitors wanting to leave Bali as soon as they arrive, not coping with the island’s intensity.

Bali will be your best friend and grow with you if you are kind to Bali, showing you the lessons you need to learn. On the flip side, Bali’s teachings can be severe. If you disrespect the island and its culture, somehow Bali has a way of showing you your mistake, and you risk getting whooped by the island. I have seen visitors suffer strange sicknesses; experience bad luck, or have accidents. Some go amok there (amok is an Indonesian word). The energy of the island is intense. One must be humble in its presence.”
