About The Travellist - Indonesia
The Travellist started as a blog about life in Indonesia, the amazing things to see and some of the new ways of life I'm experiencing. It has quickly turned into something more – we now consult on projects, business opportunities, marketing strategies and write for companies that need website content or articles for publication. The Travellist offers comprehensive social media strategies and marketing plans for your business. Our clients include villas, resorts, private holiday rentals, restaurants, short term accomodation, jewellers, clothing manufacturers, construction companies, property developers and interior designers. We also source deals and promotions and can assist your business to get these opportunities in front of the right customers for your business.
The Travellist is a place where you can go to: daydream about holidays; book accomodation; book tours; find ideas for where to go, where to eat, even where to shop! I base myself between Sanur, Lembongan and Flores – so mostly you’ll find lots of information and stories from these three places in Indonesia.
This is also a lifestyle and travel blog – I’m a frustrated writer and I love telling stories. Sometimes my stories are about my travels and the people I meet and places I go. Sometimes my stories are about life in another country. And I’ll also happily write about the wonderful places I get to visit on my travels, partly to help with your holiday daydreams but also to help you plan and book those holidays in Indonesia.
If you would like some advice or help with your holiday plans, email or Facebook message The Travellist.
If you are a business that would like to capture the imagination of our readers and people in lots of locations, please email sally@the-travellist.com .
Happy daydreams and adventures!

Restaurants & Bars
With so many choices in Sanur and Lembongan restaurants and bars, where do you go? We have so many favourites, we can’t list them all. But here are a few we love…with more being listed every day.
Also check out some of our foodie blogs that go through our pick of restaurants and bars in Sanur, Lembongan, and all over Indonesia. And if you have a favourite restaurant or bar that we MUST go visit and should definitely list here, please let us know!
Things To Do
There are so many things to do and lots of shopping to be done in Bali so we’re here to help with some suggestions for our faves. Whether you have been to Bali before or this is your first trip here, it’s always good to have a little (or big) list of things to do. Because Bali really does have it all! You want to relax and be pampered, you can. You want to head out on a food journey around the island, you can. You want action and adventure, got that too!
We are compiling a list of things to do that we have done – check out the links below and if you would like us to list your tour or business (for free), please get in touch with us. We are constantly adding more things to do and shopping ideas to the list so keep checking in with us.
We also have links to some of our fave places to shop in Bali or online.
Enjoy!

Charities
We believe that supporting charities is an important part of our commitment to helping others wherever we can. And we would love to see other charities on our page as well. So if you have an organisation that does incredible work and you want to keep that work going, we are happy to add your logo and website to our page – and will encourage everyone to help out whether through a small donation or simply by passing your message on to as many people as they know.
Music & Events
An Evening on the Green 2017
This was the first An Evening on the Green event held at Hatten Wines, Sanur. It was a sold out crowd who enjoyed the music, great games, raffles and an incredible auction - with all prizes donated from fabulous businesses around Indonesia. All funds raised for charity went to Rumah Sehat, BIWA, Pande Rescue and Boarding Bali, and Project AWARE Foundation.
An Evening on the Green 2018
After our first fundraiser in 2017 being such a success, we just had to do another! Again hosted at Hatten Wines in Sanur, the event saw a huge crowd of over 450 people enjoy food, wine, auctions and entertainment. We raised money for four amazing charities: Rumah Sehat; BIWA; Trash Heros Sanur; and Solemen.
Boogie Wonderland The Fairmont
This fundraiser was held at The Fairmont, Sanur. It was a sold out crowd with amazing entertainment and an auction that saw bids come in from all over the world. Funds raised went to the education program held at Bali WISE for marginalised young women and girls in Indonesia, helping them gain employment with tourism and hospitality and assisting in breaking the poverty cycle within families and communities.
Grocer and Grind - Rumah Sehat Sanur
This was the first event we were involved in, after being invited by Delma Davies. We assisted with donations, ticket sales and some marketing and we were so proud to be a part of the team that raised much needed funds for Rumah Sehat so they could continue their education and health care programs in remote villages in Bali.

That said, Julian admits he actually loves the people of Flores the most, the land and water second. The people have infectious smiles, they are friendly to everyone and just want to help. This community spirit captured Jules’ heart many years ago when he first visited Flores, but little did he know that one day he would return and fall for one very special Flores woman, Megah, who is now his wife.

So let me back up all the way to 1998 when I first visited Indonesia. A small group of friends and I decided to take up the invitation of a friend in the jewellery making business and accompany her on a six-week buying trip to Indonesia. She was well acquainted with the flavour of the islands because she had been making annual pilgrimages to Indonesia, primarily Ubud in Bali for many years. Read more
This trip was long overdue and so it was with great excitement that I landed in Ende, the old capital of the Island, which lolls about at the base of the archipelago.
The land mass is impressive is comparatively large and extremely mountainous, about 340 km east to west as the crow flies but, for those travelling overland, it’s best to remember that you are not crows!Read more
I took the opportunity to involve one of the newest and hottest boutiques in Bali – Little Island Store. They stock some great Island treasures including their own label “Rays for Days” as well as Aussie must have brand MLM Label.
We set up on Jalan Petitenget Seminyak, just down from Potato Head with a view of capturing movement, lights, some palms and the buzz that is Seminyak. What unfolded was a high energy, technical and super fun shoot.Read more
