When In Bali, Do What Balinese Do
Dear Vagabond and Explorer of Foreign Cultures,
If you are craving for an authentic, culturally-immersive experience in Bali, then you have come to the right place. In light of the inevitable commercialization of the Island, with posh modern hotels and stores popping up at an incredible rate, we offer you a glimpse of the unspoiled cultural and natural treasures this island used to have in abundance. We are here not to give you ready-made travel solutions. We are here to help you make the most out of your limited stay in Bali. We simply point you in the right direction and arm you with some tips on how to immerse yourself in the local community in a respectful and considerate manner by appropriately approaching and dealing with the people and their sacred land.
We connect you with locals and help you find a accommodation either in close proximity to or nestled in the major resorts while still isolated from the bustling and rapidly changing surroundings (which has significant impact on the experience due to noise from construction worksites). Our strategy is to match you with locals who are most passionate about introducing foreigners to the local culture and inviting them to participate in their regular activities and ceremonies.
When.In.Bali represents a natural continuation of the Tourist Tips project.
It is a platform not only for informing tourists about some cultural subtleties and safety tips, but it also connects travellers to locals with the aim of offering authentic cultural immersion. It introduces people to some local families and their daily routines. If travellers are looking for immersive cultural (learning) experience, this is where they can find it (especially if travelling on a budget). Spending your time in Bali in a home-stay is not only the most affordable option but also the one that offers you plenty of opportunities to witness and experience first-hand the way locals live - from preparing the daily offerings to farming and cooking traditional dishes. Local hosts always do their best to provide their guests with memorable experience.
Choosing a place to stay in Bali can be quite tricky when you want to learn and understand the local culture. Some guest-houses are independent from the owner's house, thus offering you no opportunities to witness and participate in an authentic, non-commercial Balinese tradition or Hindu ceremony. Others are part of the owner's home where you can have the serendipity of waking to the smell of incense and the view of a local lady attending the home temple, making an offering to the gods, followed by the daily prayer. Locals are generally tolerant and friendly and they welcome foreigners to join them in their daily routines - from ceremonies to gatherings with friends.
