For as long as I can remember, I have suffered with Emetophobia, or vomit phobia as it is more commonly known. I can remember every instance of ever being sick from the age of around 3 as well as every time I have witnessed someone else being sick. It isn’t just that the smell and the noise makes me a little grossed out (I’m sure the majority of people would rather avoid seeing or being sick) – for me it is so much more than that and something I have battled for most of my life.
During our stay in neighbouring island Lembongan, we knew we wanted to visit Nusa Penida without forking out the cost of an expensive day trip. Accommodation is also limited out there, especially within our budget.

Plus you get those authentic, home-made flavours without paying a hefty food bill at the end.
Heading to Bali soon but only have a limited amount of time? Here is the rundown of a day-trip Dom and I did and highly recommend to those that want to squeeze as much sight-seeing as possible into one day:
When visiting Bali, this is one of those bucket-list excursions that will leave you utterly speechless and in awe of nature.
A popular tourist site, Mount Batur is an active volcano, situated on the North East side of the island. The last eruption was in 2000, however seismic activity was recorded a few days after our hike, hinting at a impending eruption (which has since dropped). The excitement of climbing an active volcano is certainly enough to get the blood pumping!
In September 2017, Dom and I travelled to Bali and stayed in Legian for 1 week. If you are planning on travelling to Bali soon, this post will give you an overview of useful things to know before you arrive:
