    My boyfriend and I are going to Bali at the end of April! It’s funny that I stumbled across your blog a few weeks ago, because in the past year we’ve already done several things on your “Ultimate couples bucket list” before I had even seen your page! This year we have been planning Bali & Oktoberfest in Munich! But literally everything on that post & more was already on our list as well! As our trip to Bali gets closer, Ive been doing a little more research! I know that it’s obviously a very magical place…but I’ve been reading recently about the Methanol poisonings that the locals have been putting in tourist’s alcoholic drinks, and it kind of scared me! What areas should we avoid? And do you have any safety tips?

    • Hi Kiela! I think you are referring to Arak, a local type of moonshine, so just be sure to stay away from that drink! Bali is quite safe, as long as you follow all travel warnings and are alert in the more tourist populated areas. The only area I would avoid is Kuta, as it is very touristy and is known to have a bit of a drug scene.

Packing smarter > Packing more ✈️

This garment duffel has been such a game changer for short trips—keeps clothes wrinkle-free, has a separate space for shoes, and still fits all the essentials.

I’ve been pairing it with the packing cubes and checked luggage from @OneQuince, and everything just works together—luxury quality, without the luxury price tag.

Meeting rescued baby elephants at @sheldricktrust has been on my bucket list for years… and it exceeded every expectation! 🐘
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
We booked a private visit, which is $1,500 for a group of up to 10 people (2026 pricing), and fully donation-based — directly supporting the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants.

There are only two private slots per day, so this is something you need to book well in advance.

It’s absolutely a splurge, but for such an intimate, once-in-a-lifetime experience (and knowing it supports conservation) felt incredibly worth it!

If that’s not in budget, they also offer daily public visiting hours (around $20 per person), which are still really special.

NOTE: You’ll also need to pay the Nairobi National Park entrance fee for any visit. 

It pairs perfectly with a safari drive in the park, since you’re already there. It’s such an easy and meaningful add-on to any Nairobi itinerary.

This is one of the most special (and ethical) wildlife experiences you can have in Kenya 🤍

The Okavango Delta is one of those places that truly lives up to the hype… and then somehow exceeds it. 🦒🇧🇼

A lush, water-filled oasis in the middle of the Kalahari, where the seasons quite literally shape the entire experience.

Floodwaters arrive months after the rains fall in Angola, transforming the landscape into a maze of channels, islands, and wildlife-rich plains.

We stayed at @aksanctuary Sanctuary Chief’s Camp on Chief’s Island — known as the predator capital of Botswana. Because it’s one of the only areas of permanent dry land, animals naturally gather here… which means some of the most incredible game viewing you can experience.

What makes this place so special is the contrast. Early mornings tracking predators on game drives, and afternoons drifting through quiet waterways in a mokoro, surrounded by birds, reeds, and the kind of stillness you rarely find anymore.

And the timing completely changes the experience.
✨ Dry season (May–October): peak flood levels + unbelievable wildlife concentrations
🌿 Green season (November–April): lush landscapes, baby animals, fewer crowds

No matter when you go, it’s one of the most unique safari destinations in the world, and one that feels wild, untouched, and unforgettable.

While staying at @aksanctuary Chief’s Camp in Botswana, we had the chance to see the delta from a completely different perspective with @helicopterhorizons — and it was easily one of the most unforgettable experiences of the trip.

From winding channels to herds of elephants moving below, it gives you a true sense of just how vast and wild this place really is… something you simply can’t grasp from the ground.

If you’re coming all the way to the Okavango Delta, this is 100% worth adding on. It’s not just a scenic flight — it’s a whole new way to experience safari.
