@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips
"Jatiluwih Rice Terraces Is one of the top (if not THE top) rice terraces to visit in Bali. The earlier you can get there, the better, as there will be fewer people walking around."
What do you love most about Bali?
"Bali has so many beautiful waterfalls. Some require a lengthy hike, while others are in a more populated, touristy area. Whichever one you visit, it’ll be worth it!"
@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips
"The Ulun Danu temple is beautiful, but it is a small part of a larger “park.” The park does get quite crowded during lunch as there are restaurants on site. Go early!"
@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips
"Visit Tanuh Lot close to sunset. It will be crowded, but there’s ample space to relax and catch a beautiful sunset on the coast."
@_kennawilliams_'s Top Tips
"Leave all loose items in the car when you visit the Secret Monkey Forest. These monkeys may be adorable, but they are feisty and can get aggressive if you bring bags in with you (they think it’s food!)."

What do you love most about Galápagos Islands?
"The wildlife! The Galápagos Islands is a giant marine park filled with unique land and marine life. It was this that inspired Darwin's Theory of Evolution."
What is the best time of year to visit?
"Being on the equator, the Galápagos Islands are beautiful to see year-round! However, different times of year will present different things to see. So be sure to do your research first."
Benefits of a tour guide for Galápagos Islands
"Most visitors to the Galápagos will not be able to see the islands without a tour guide. So it is a must but they are all licensed, authentic and will give you an amazing experience!"
