I love Bali! It has become my second home. A place I always have to go back to. In addition to sun, beach, surf, relaxation there are so many sources of inspiration. When I arrive I normally am tired from work, but when I leave my creativity has reached new levels and my bags are filled with interesting memories. The place is a mecca for handicraft, and you can get your own design ideas real in a couple of days. Each little village has their own handicraft tradition. Ubud is known for woodcarving, Celuk for gold and silver crafting and Batubulan for stone carving.
Recommended hangouts/cafés: Cafe Bali, Deus Ex Machina, Potato Head Beach Club, La Barca.
Place for interior shopping: Seminyak and Ubud.
