About me! Hi everyone! My name is Cara and I'm a cultural enthusiast! While there is so much to love about travel, what I love the most is how it unassumingly bridges cultural gaps, reminding us we are created with hearts to love. On each of my journeys, we'll connect with a local organization to learn more of their challenges and opportunities to help their mission. Hope to travel with you soon!

Our journey begins in Kuala Lumpur in the Bukit Bintang district. The hotel is walking distance to the Petronas towers, high-end shopping, KLCC Park, the 10 Hutong Food Market and so much more. Spend the day relaxing at the luxurious hotel, swimming in the rooftop pool or exploring the surrounding area. In the evening we come together for sunset over the city at a local hotspot with incredible views. The following day we arrive early to tour the Batu Caves, one of the biggest attractions in the country. Comprising three different caverns, the Batu Caves is one of the most sacred Hindu sites outside of India. The Wilayah Mosque is also on the itinerary and easily one of the most beautiful mosques in all of Asia. Other destinations include the former redlight district, Jalan Alor, a top culinary destination. The rest of the day is yours to shop, relax or explore.

One of the most memorable days is sure to be the Mt Batur hike. Hiking to the summit of a volcano for sunrise views of the island is one of the most memorable experiences you can have in Bali. hike is only 4 miles (6.4km) round trip and moderate skill level. Once completed, enjoy relaxing in the natural hot springs at the base of the volcano. On the last day, relax on the water with a day of boating and fun on the water.
