Sometimes I feel like I’m always running… Then there’re these magical moments, when I hit the road. Sitting on a terrasse with 360degrees ocean views.

The Haven Bali Berawa Canggu Canggu is becoming in my opinion the best place to visit South Bali, or just for a quick one night, after flying back in or before you fly back out. The welcome at The Haven Berawa was excellent. I arrived in the night, the staff welcomed me on the parking, carried my luggage to the room, I recieved a fresh welcome drink, I think it was ginger… Read More

Scott was true to his word and took me Wild Pig Hunting between Makay and Proserpine, on Australia’s East Coast. In the Pitch Black Night…… Read More

“Australian author & Bali resident (Kuta) Malcolm Scott exposes the brutal reality of gangs, drugs, violence and prostitution in Australia’s #1 holiday destination.” “An exposé of the underbelly of Bali, Indonesia…” Right… Honestly, I wasn’t impressed or excited by the book.
