A Gorgeous Balinese Style

The Travel Junkie

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – When did you fall in love with Bali and think “I could maybe live here”?

My love affair with Bali began in the 80s. The smells, the people, the culture, the beauty, the craziness and the grace, it’s cast a spell on me and hasn’t let me go.

I love the freedom here – the Hindu culture here is very open and free, anything goes really. I feel more experimental with what I wear and create here – I wear more colour, expose more skin, mix things together more and the bohemian gypset style.

What’s in Travel Junkie First Aid Kit on the Road?

The Travel Junkie

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – Hi travel junkies everywhere!

A basic travel first aid kit is important no matter where you travel.

This brings me to the most important rule of a kit: “You can’t use it if its not with you.” I like to think of my kit as an insurance policy that I hope to never use.

And, don’t forget the medicines in your first aid kit have a limited lifetime. Check ‘use by’ dates, and ask your pharmacist for advice to ensure the contents of your kit remain effective and safe to use.

Kick-Ass Vegetarian: The Yummiest Sate Kere Ever!

The Travel Junkie

Traveljunkieindonesia.com – I love Sate Kere, a cheap vegetarian sate made from grounded tempe, served in peanut sauce and pickles. And, it was so so SO DELICIOUS!

Ola, it for a special dinner with my extended ‘family’ in Surakarta and everyone loved it. My reasons – for my long term health, for environmental sustainability, and hopefully to look and feel better (skin, body, and energy). Ooh my. It’s so worth it!

The word ‘kere’ in the Javanese language means ‘poor’. It originally was meant to provide the poor people of Java with the taste of sate at an affordable price, since meat was considered a luxury in the past.

It’s also simple to make, and it only has a few ingredients.
