Known as the “Surfing Capital of the Philippines,” this island is home to the famed Cloud 9 wave, hailed as one of the world’s best surf spots.

The article billed it as a Russian and Ukrainian enclave, full of digital nomads, setting up camp in Bali to escape the war in their neighborhood. The place is enormous. Someone obviously spent a lot of dollars or rubles to put it together, but I didn’t feel threatened by it, nor the people there. In fact,…

Bali Nightlife is back and on track Where do you go out nowadays in Bali? Well, that would depend on what style of entertainment and nightlife you’re looking for.
