    Two Weeks in Bali – Everything You Need to Know

    I’ve been to Bali twice. The first time was 4 years ago when I wasn’t a blogger, not even as much of a traveler, more of a tourist. I didn’t have two weeks in Bali then, just 5 days, and…

Hi! Im Preethi!

I'm a travel-mad experience chaser who quit corporate to chase what my heart called out for, and here I am blogging, vlogging and podcasting.

I'm a sucker for experiences and all things offbeat. A lot of what you see here is solo, and it remains a favourite style of travel.

Come for the details, stay for the stories :)

I hope you have a good time!

Love, Preethi

  • One refrain I’ve been telling myself over the past few days, weeks, months, years - you’re strong, you’re more than just your skin, and you can never give up your space ♥️  I know I’ll never fit into conventional standards of ‘beauty’. But maybe someday, we’ll get to a point where differences are accepted and we can celebrate the beauty that lies within us instead. Because we’re all so much more than our appearance, and it’s time we start seeing that, right?  Pledging myself to #DoveIndia’s #StopTheBeautyTest now, but pledged myself to the cause years ago. Thank you for nominating me for this, @trulynomadly .  I nominate @srish_teee @stutiashokgupta @radhika_parthasarathy to take the pledge ♥️  And if you’re reading this, what are your thoughts about your body?
  • What do you love about the cold?  You know what I love about it? The created warmth 😍  Think about it. Snuggling inside thick, warm comforters. Sipping a cup of hot chocolate next to a fire. Warm, cuddly sweaters. Cute, fuzzy socks. Warming your hands in front of a heater. The feel of hot (read scalding) water touching your skin and the comforting contrast of it with the cold outside all of the steam that wraps you up. Mmmm.  Got all of this and more during my stay at @nibaanaresort . The created warmth in the middle of the mountains, paired with expansive views and gorgeous sunsets, served with a side of great food made for a very welcome escape.  I usually like my travels to be action packed - a lot of exploring and hiking, doing lots in a day. But this time, I got to take two days off and just... be.  You could head here for a quiet weekend away with your partner, a fun vacation with family, or even a corporate retreat. It’s disconnected from the crowded areas and markets, but if you want to get to the main city, it’s easy to commute if you have your own vehicle. If not, you can always have a cab arranged!  Imagine waking up to this view every morning of your vacation. Sigh. Dreamy, right? 😍
  • Mentally broken today.  My mind has been tortured with thoughts of hate directed at my body. Being large and curvy apparently sends out porn star vibes and I’ve had it up to here with being over-sexualised. I can’t help but wish that I was of a slighter frame, so that I wouldn’t have to deal with onslaught after onslaught (please don’t fight me on this, spare me your whataboutism, you can look it up online). I can’t handle the sexual, borderline abusive comments coming at me anymore, and you don’t get to tell me to be strong and suck it up unless you know how it feels, and if you’re slim or male, there’s a good chance you don’t.  It hurts. It makes me feel unsafe in my own skin. It triggers my anxiety because subconsciously, it’s causing me to fear for my safety and my life. It makes me feel like this is all I have to offer and my self-esteem is starting to take a massive beating.  Taking some time away from this platform. I will be available on WhatsApp and email. Work will continue as usual. I’ll see you in a bit.  📸: @eli_smitt taken at a happier, more carefree time in Goa
  • New display image shot by the very talented @eli_smitt 🥰  Just a happy, happy throwback from where I found my soul reaching more and more for Goan sands, and waiting for the day when I can go back to the place that’s sort of become home 🏝  How are you all doing today?
