Bali is like some type of island from a video game. It’s just the right size that you can get to anywhere on the island in one day, but also large enough to have unique pockets and areas. In 3 days I’ve gone to 4 different beaches, each with their own vibe and flavor. How do you get around? Like everyone else: scooter.

It was my first time ever driving one and it was in chaotic Kuta. What an experience. One minute you’re surrounded by cars and 15 other scooters on a 2 lane road, the next you’re climbing a windy hill lane amongst rice fields and temples. One of the best parts of living is trying new things, and it feels like Bali is the place to try this.

Even with the crazy driving, the locals don’t seem to get upset when they get cut off or have to wait for someone to clear the road during an impromptu u-turn. They just roll with it and keep going. You feel free here. People enjoy. Maybe it’s just the weather. Or maybe there’s more balance here. Even with the twists and turns, we can still enjoy the ride.
