Bali, Indonesia

Bali was great! I loved it so much and had a blast. Our resort was so nice and everyone was very kind. They had 2 pools and it was a 2-minute walk to the beach. The 5 days we were there we went to the beach than the pool. We would wake up eat breakfast at the resort then take the gold cart to the beach. The water was very nice and warm but for sure had quite a bit...

My favourite day was when we went to the sea and I surfed. The waves were perfect...

I would not recommend following in our footsteps and I would never do that again (I would but altered). Seriously, it was a grind at times, and all those travel influencers can go to hell. They...

The Netherlands: Surfing

The Netherlands was great. We had a hotel there and it was so nice. There was a misunderstanding with the rooms so we had to have two rooms. Me and my sister had a room and my parents had a room. I think that was a good idea to have two rooms because I was crazy in Kadyn’s room like crazy. We were close to the train station so we could take a train everywhere. In Rotterdam, I lost my...
