Island of the Gods
You only have to hear the word Bali and the mind itself wanders into a dreamlike place where worries are cast adrift and the sun and sand are life’s only concerns.

I maybe had one bad experience the past week with Rebeca but I still believe Couchsurfing is a wonderful initiative. That’s the main reason why I’m part of it for about three years now.
