I’m very funny. French but I try to not be arrogant. It’s hard 😂. I’ve semi retired - globetrotter/navigator after 160 countries in 8 years

been visiting Bali for 25 years, now almost full time to school the kids in Ubud. On bumble I used to say I’m the only guy here not dressed like Jesus

Bali has changed a lot! Visit Ubud before they turn the last temple into a lululemon shop

If you wish to stay more than 1/2 nights with us I much appreciate if you take the time to chat before your arrival 🙏

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can introduce you to my Balinese friends: mask carver, topeng dancer, puppeteer and priest, and show you hidden places.

You can also visit authentic craft men if you want to bring a mask, a bronze or rattan back home at a non touristy price.
