thankyou matty

I remember clearly the moment i told you I was going to Bali for the first time to do my Yoga Teacher Training. You sat me down in a stuffy, busy bar on the Gold Cost and proceeded to tell me all about this incredible place that I just HAD to see. You described how walking down the steps to this paradise would change my life forever ..... and so I went, and it did.

I will never forget the first time I walked down these steps. The ocean looked unreal. The sound of the waves was devine, the smell of the salt, the incense & the local cooking. The surf was puuuumping! And there were excited people everywhere who’s eyes were shining with excitement - just like yours did as you told me about it that night.

If I hadn’t ended that trip to Bali in Bingin... I dont know if I would have gone back to Bali again and my life would have been totally different. This place transformed me, it put a spell on me, it awakened me to myself and for the past 6 years I’ve been coming back to the island for more.

The last time I saw you, you were here, wandering the back streets, barefoot and salty. You looked so well and happy in this place you loved so much. I never got to tell you how important that moment in that bar was for me. I hope that wherever you are now, it looks and smells and tastes and feels just like Bingin.
