Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Hello from Bali!

Have you been following my island adventure on Instagram? I've been...
🌸 Getting all the spa and beauty treatments
🌴 Finding the best new hotels
🌙 Attending spiritual ceremonies
🐠 Fishing with locals
🥥 ...and eating a lot.

The explorer in me has returned and I'm having the best time traveling the island and making mini guides in my Instagram stories, for you to follow.

BUT Bali wifi isn't always the most reliable so this week, it's just me on the episode. You'll hear from Emilia once I get back to Seattle.

On Episode 14:

Grace Millane, a 21-year-old backpacker, was last seen on CCTV laughing with her Tinder date in Auckland, New Zealand. Hours later, she vanished.

This episode unravels the disturbing timeline of Grace’s final moments and what her case reveals about the hidden dangers of dating while traveling abroad.

🔎 In this episode, we discuss:

⚠️ How to stay safe while traveling solo.

⚠️ Why trusting your intuition matters.

⚠️ Safe practices for dating while abroad.

🎧 Tune in now to hear Grace’s story.
