The Travel Junkie

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – I decided to go for a spontaneous outing and take my three friends to Kadek home in Kayu Putih village, Munduk – Central Bali.

I was excited! which is usually excellent. A change in dynamics is always good for everyone.

In the 1500s a colony came to Bali from a failed empire – the Majapahit Empire in  Java, and there was an exodus of intellectuals, artists, priests and musicians to Bali at that time, which explains the creative pulse that remains here today.

Kayu Putih village, Munduk, I was really delighted to discover this village.  So much more, that I leave you to discover my travel blog page to know more about the village.
