Style of Baliblog

Last afternoon chatting with Benny in a Kuta internet cafe, he told me he likes the journeys I document and the photos. When I think of the reasons people might read Baliblog, here’s what is come up with:

1. People are researching their upcoming trip.
2. People want to keep the memory of Bali fresh in their minds.
3. People are bored / want to tap into the Bali fantasy.
4. People want the latest news on Bali.

Serving up what people want is my goal and as much of it as possible. Benny said he is a lover of surfing and back in Australia checks out BaliWaves to get an image of what the surf is like. He told me that just seeing a video clip, or latest photo, and some commentary by a person living on the Bukit, really brings it home.

I try to remember, that even though the sight of a beach or a satay vendor, may not be super exciting for me right now, for people far away, catching a glimpse of a familiar street, or new location can be inspiring.

Hopefully I’ll be able to do more of the little getaway’s and comment of beaches, hikes, spas and other sdtuff that people might want to know about.
