Personal travel experiences by Robbin & Grace

Hi, We're Robbin & Grace

We're a couple who completely fell head over heels for Bali and couldn't keep it to ourselves! Robbin originally came here from the Netherlands for an internship and never left, while Grace has called Bali home for most of her life.

After discovering so many incredible spots and having countless adventures, we realized we had to share these discoveries with fellow travelers like you. This guide is packed with all the places that made us laugh, gasp in amazement, and fall even deeper in love with this magical island.

Here's the thing - we don't recommend anything we haven't personally experienced and absolutely loved. No sponsored posts, no paid placements. Just honest recommendations from two people who've made countless mistakes, discovered incredible gems, and want to help you skip the tourist traps and find the real Bali magic.
