Bali Girls Trip!

Spending a week in Bali was an experience I will never forget. From getting my sunglasses snatched in the Sacred Monkey forest to hiking up an active volcano at 3:30am in the pouring rain and I loved every second of it but most of all, meeting a group of women with likeminded interest, who I have grown a beautiful bond with and hopefully lifelong friendships. I was extremely nervous before deciding to travel on my own in a foreign place with a group of strangers but I couldn’t resist the urge to take chances and not ask myself what if? I want to give @chidiashley a huge thank you for following her passion to allow others to experience the world as she does along with the beautiful energy she exudes. If traveling alone or simply traveling is something you love to do I would highly recommend joining Chidi on one of her excursions. Trust me you won’t regret it.

I think traveling is something that everyone needs to experience. It makes you realize how big the world is and also how small our everyday problems are. To visit different countries and seeing how other people live is a very eye-opening experience. I’m happy I got to visit Bali with @chidiashley and @chidiashleytravels because it was a place that I wanted to go to for the longest but I didn’t really have people who wanted to go with me. I was nervous and a little afraid because I was traveling to the other side of the world by myself. I get really anxious on airplanes, however, I decided to face my fears and I’m glad I did. I even got to go to Malaysia before going to Bali and was able to see that beautiful country as well. Bali is so beautiful and I’ve made so many memories on this trip. I came by myself but I left with life-long friendships. -
