Indonesia is the largest island nation in the world, encompassing 17,000+ islands (Wouldn’t you like to know who counted them?), each with its own unique culture. Indonesia has rain forests, at least 150 active volcanoes, tropical beaches, Orangutans, famous resort areas, home to mankind’s last remaining frontiers, a haven for underwater enthusiasts, and then there’s incredible Bali. Forget all the "Eat, Pray, Love" hype for Bali (on a sidenote, I hated the movie). Bali has been on everyone’s list (from backpackers to luxury seekers) as the "go-to" destination for eons. Not surprising since the Island of Bali has activities that run the gamut. How about getting married at an Elephant Camp? Explore Ubud, the cultural, artistic, and spiritual heart of Bali? Dive, snorkel, learn to surf? Trek up Mount Batur or holy Mount Agung? Visit and gawk at incredible Balinese Temples (there is a reason why Bali is called the "Island of 10.000 Temples")? If that’s not enough, wait until you see the miles of beach, bars, restaurants and nightlife lining Kuta, Legian and Seminyak beaches. And don’t forget inexpensive shopping, or Indonesia’s wonderful food. Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel on a Budget, or go for broke, wallowing in luxury! Most importantly, let her ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy. This Fast & Easy Guide will tell the good and the bad as she sees it along with informative tips. HERE’S SOME OF THE INFORMATION YOU’LL FIND INSIDE... - Fast & Easy Basics for Visiting Bali and Indonesia. - What to See and Do in Bali. - How to Save Big Money! Travels With Sheila tells it like it is with personalized, up-to-date information, and photographs you need to make the most of your trip. Learn from her experience and speed through Bali by following her travel tips.

L'autore:

Sheila Simkin, a native Chicagoan, has been traveling the world since 1960. The travel bug first hit on her honeymoon in Miami. Fidel Castro had just taken over Cuba and lured by rock-bottom prices, Sheila sweet-talked her ex-husband into abandoning Miami for Cuba. That marked the beginning of her lifetime travel passion and addiction. There are very few countries that are not on her to-see list no matter how remote and/or difficult they may be with many, "What was I thinking of" moments in hindsight. The U.S. State Department recognizes 193 independent countries and she has visited over 150 in over 40 years of travel (but...who's counting). Touring, hiking, trekking, rafting, snowshoeing, skiing, volunteering on archaeological digs, family trips and, she must admit, occasionally sitting on a beach and compulsively shopping. Her goal is to encourage you to take the big step and travel to more exotic, remote destinations with tips, anecdotes and reassurance that, yes, you will come back alive. Visit her "travelswithsheila" channel on YouTube to watch over 1,400 videos filmed around the world and covering the gamut from taking a cruise to camping in Egypt's desert, food (fried tarantulas, anyone?), sights and even instructions on how to navigate subways in Paris and Beijing. All Travels With Sheila Guides will tell you the truth, and only the whole truth, about each country and whether sights are a hit, or a miss. Follow Sheila's advice to avoid making mistakes she learned the hard way. For example, not knowing that an important piece of equipment when camping or trekking is...an AIR MATTRESS? A never to be forgotten experience spent in a sleeping bag on the cold, hard ground of Nepal. And what kind of crazy idiot goes trekking in Siberia and gets lost? Really...lost in Siberia? Only Sheila. Happy traveling!
