After moving abroad in July 2014, I started compiling monthly roundup posts about life as an expat in Asia and all the nitty gritty that goes on behind the scenes here at Travel Lush. You can find all of my previous monthly roundup posts here. After coming off of the most perfect trip to Italy last month, it was…
There’s a reason why Gili Trawangan is becoming an increasingly popular stop on Indonesia travel itineraries – the island is incredible. From its postcard-perfect beaches to its amazingly chilled-out vibe to its unreal sunsets, Gili T is an ideal place to while the days away. Trust me, I’ve done so on more than one occasion….
Over the years Bali has become my home away from home. In fact, I’m currently planning my 2-month stint there this summer. Because I’ve had the chance to spend so much time on Indonesia’s most popular little island I’ve come to know Bali fairly well. Despite the fact that Bali is a relatively small island, there are…
When I first traveled to Indonesia, I was under the impression that being a vegetarian would be really difficult. That was largely because most travel blogs and guide books I read all said the same thing: “being a vegetarian in Indonesia is challenging.” I went into my two-month backpacking trip around the islands of Java and…

After moving abroad in July 2014, I started compiling monthly roundup posts about life as an expat in Asia and all the nitty gritty that goes on behind the scenes here at Travel Lush. You can find all of my previous monthly roundup posts here. July, for me, was an all-around amazing month. First off, I literally just realized…
When I first traveled to Bali it was more out of convenience than desire. I first landed on this little Indonesian island back in 2013. I had just spent a month traversing the island of Java. And given its proximity to Java, Bali just seemed like the next logical stop. While most people would be…
Sometimes I really struggle to find things to write about in these monthly roundups. Because honestly guys, my life isn’t always all that interesting. My days really do consist of working, commuting and occasionally exploring Beijing. Rinse, repeat. Life, especially lately, has been very routine. It’s something I can appreciate, but it doesn’t exactly make…
