With most of my old friends gone on my arrival back I expected Bali to be as beautiful as ever but I did think it might have lost a little charm. i mean I was set to spend most of my time here alone. My time here has been so far removed from my assumptions and fortunately for me I was able to meet with a few old friends and I found myself making lots of new ones too.
At the end of my last stay on Bali I was living the villa life. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle in Meads beautiful Umalas house in my room overlooking the pool. It was amazing but it was from this and time spent mostly in private rooms in Thailand with Jennie that I had forgotten just how amazing it is to live in a hostel. It's so social and I have been socialising lots!
My experience with the 'beach gypsies' was immense. My time with Nat and Ash from the hostel was always eventful! I loved partying with Mitch, Amy and Sheree that I was lucky enough to meet on the plane and meeting and seeing old and new staff here and all over Bali has been great too!
What I will remember most about my few weeks waiting on visas and getting my life together here is my 'bromance'. The truth is I'd kill for it to be a romance but on meeting such a genuine and a little gorgeous English man called Josh my last week and a bit here has been great!
Thanks guys! Thanks Josh :)
Tomorrow I leave first thing in the morning for Sumbawa. It's an island a few west of here toward the Pacific. I can't wait to get started with NGO director and all round lovely guy Carlos and his Harapan Project.
Truthfully I don't entirely know what to expect from the next few weeks or months but I can't wait to get started on my next chapter. A chapter more about others than myself. A time for contemplation on my new life and a time to develop my humanitarian ideas further. To Sumbawa and to the future...
Peace and love. Always <3
