Tips:

BALI (INDONESIA)

A good choice if:

- You are looking for a Yoga/Surf holiday and love the idea of being pampered at a spa.
- You live in Australia, flights are cheap and it's close to home!
​- You don't mind being surrounded by other tourists

Tips:
- Bali has lots of great little spots to visit, some of my favourites are Ubud, Canggu and Nusa Lembongan. Choose your destination depending on what you want to experience.
- Align yourself with a reliable local, I can connect you with some helpful locals who I've known for years.

CROATIA (take me back..)

A good choice if:
- You have a little more cash to play with (it's relatively expensive for Aussies but reasonable for Europe)
- You love natural beauty and history
- You are a foodie and enjoy wine

Tips:
- Highly recommend getting a car and exploring the path less travelled
- Don't miss the National Parks KRKA and Plitvice Lakes
- Travel in the shoulder season when it's far less crowded
- While we didn't visit the islands, we were told that this is a real highlight too!
