Bali

Bali, Indonesia

Our time in Bali has been marked with a combination of incredible experiences and amazing company. The crew and guests at The Chillhouse made the experience all that much more special. The culture here is a unique fusion of Hindu, Muslim, surf, arts and tropics. We spent the mornings surfing, Matt going off with local guides to “secret spots” or local favorites, and the kids going to friendlier breaks. The afternoons were usually spent exploring the island, skin diving, or relaxing with a massage; truly an island paradise. The predominantly Hindu and Buddhist culture/religion has produced some very unique and breathtaking architecture. The people of Bali have incredible shrines in virtually every front yard of every house. These intricate spirit houses are the predominant form of worship seen all over. We met and made many new friends here on Bali, families and couples traveling for the holidays. This was our first time away from home for the holidays and we enjoyed not having the pressures of decorating and shopping until we drop, instead we enjoyed time together and a peaceful Christmas and New Year, realizing how fortunate we all are in our lives and with our families.
