Réflexion sur l’année

As we close the year, when I celebrated my 50th turn around the sun, I have much to be grateful for. This year was a year of great travel adventures, another year of musical chairs in my career and stability within my Montreal family. It’s always exciting to be a part of history, but what…

Sanur, toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin

Sanur is the final leg of this wellness trip; it flew by quickly. It was another extended travel day, but Bali is a stunning country to drive through. Traffic rules seem nonexistent, but somehow, the family on the scooter does not get hit by the delivery truck; you beep and go. Our driver was tremendous…

La plus grosse tortue que j’ai jamais vue

This resort was another gem, which felt more like an all-inclusive resort with multiple pools and an outdoor restaurant on the beach. They upgraded our group’s accommodations; we had little huts and an outdoor bathroom.

Temps de relaxation

I purposely kept my first day in Bali low-key; I got up and had breakfast. I tried the traditional version with rice porridge to see if I would like it to balance my trip. Most complimentary hotel breakfasts include bread, so my only option was to eat the more traditional rice dish. I booked transportation…

Mange, prie, aime : l’édition de Bali

The year was a milestone birthday—the big 50. Early in the year, I started planning a trip of a lifetime, one I had been contemplating for years. I had been looking at a health and wellness trip to Bali through Gadventures for years. Since meeting my spouse, I have not done extensive solo trips in…
