After an especially tumultuous year – full of uncertainty about my career, debilitating heartbreak and unstable friendships – I was left feeling empty, despondent and indefinable. I had no idea who I really was and vowed to spend the next year in search of her. A multitude of … [Read more...]

The Good and The Bali

August 5, 2012 by Danielle FerrettiLeave a Comment

There is something so curiously captivating about the island of Bali, Indonesia. When I flew from Sydney to the Denpasar airport in Bali, I expected to step off of the plane and into the raw, lush paradise that everyone had described to me. As I was quick to find out, that wasn't the case at all. As part of a developing nation, Bali's undertone of old-world life is peppered with the new-world wealth of a booming tourist industry.
