My Epic Journey to Bali Indonesia!
Greetings form Bali Indonesia! I’m currently typing this blog post from my luxury villa located just outside the region of Ubud after walking around the city for about 5 hours.

It’s only my first day in Bali and everyone here is so friendly, especially the locals!

Here’s a few of my favorite portraits of young, happy, free people at Austin City Limits Music Festival 2019. Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
