Hi there all adventure seekers

My name is John and this is my wife Roz, no not the furry one, the other one...

We have recently relocated to Bali to seek opportunities to change our lifestyle and find fun and interesting places to play in. Yes that's us below, a little taken by our new friend we met in Ubud, wish we could adopt...

We have joined up with Roger Hamilton and Penny Wee who were already living in Bali (well technically Penny had come over from Singapore a few weeks earlier too).

So we are here now and what we found was a massive discrepancy between what was said to be offered and what actually is being delivered from the accommodation providers to the adventure companies and we’ve really struggled to find a level of integrity in many industries. It's not however because they are trying to be dishonest in many cases, it's because the locals have a need to please so in order to get short-term satisfaction for their customers they stretch the truth a little, and in some cases a lot.

So in order to FIX this, we are, "in the name of research", going on a mission to find the best adventure operators and resorts so that we can update others like you visiting Bali on what rocks and what sucks so to speak.

We’ll be blogging about them over the next months so you can have a trusted reference to what the real deal is.

We are also creating a Bali Map that will show all the best operators and with a clear understanding of time and distance to get there from various places… Oh yes, that is another major issue, how much time they say it takes to get to their facilities and the actual, lots of that kinda thing going on.

Oh, and before I forget, we’ll be taking photos that are actually representative of the facilities and activities as some of what we have seen vs what it actually looks like, quite normal to find 10 year old photos, and sure the facilities looked like that at one time however when you are looking for a place to stay and you think this looks really beautiful only to find when you get there it's dilapidated and run-down.


Keep track with all those photos and our activities on our facebook page
