Season in Whistler – pre departure
Just one more week before I leave for Whistler. It is a huge challenge to me not having a plan for what I am going to do, or where I am going to live and work. I mean... Normally I have things under control, right? But this is also one of the reason I want to do this. I'm getting used to the though of knowing where to stay until October 23rd, and then taking it from there. I've decided to watch Art of Flight and Jeremy Jones' Higher the next days, so if I wasn't already craving for snow, I will be. The resort looks super dope. See for…

Sekumpul Waterfall (Lemukih)
Sekumpul Waterfall is one of the larger waterfall attractions, and the waterfalls in the Lemukih area is incredibly beautiful.

Banyumala Twin Waterfalls
Banyumala Waterfall or Twin Falls are two beautiful waterfalls side by side. What makes the Banyumala Twin Falls even more attractive, is the fact that you can swim in the lake below the waterfall, and even go and stand in the stream of water from above. The water is fairly cold however, but with the Balinese heat, this is actually very nice.
