Hatti Hatti Di Jalan

Half the globe has welcomed home some hobo’s already. The other half is awaiting, as we say ‘sampai jumba’ to Bali, our villa and the remaining hobo babes. It’s been a really wicked month with you all. Bali has this charm that really took us in wrapped us in an intricate and delicate banana leaf bowl. Then we just sort of stuck together all warm inside whilst Go-Jek brought us where we needed to be.

Since the first time we were blessed by the spectacle that is Ashley’s dancing. To the top of mount Batur. Every Nyoman and Maday between late night Apotek or Pepito runs. Hobo’s we survived the ‘Bali belly’, the taxi mafia’s, scooter accidents, torrential down pours and bedroom terrors from a-z! All whilst building Mikayla’s alcohol tolerance and a sister hood of the traveling gecko.

I just want to say a big ole mispronounced Terimakasi, for being such wonder filled humans. For spilling your hearts out into 1200 words and sharing the stories fearlessly. The amount of support involved in that alone is something to be a proud part of. A Passion for travel and writing brought us all to Bali, at different stages of our individual stories.

 I really think reading and sharing those stories was not just a literary tasks but also super enlightening. All of our pieces share heartbreak, humor or an unconditional passion for change. We’ve had this time away from narrating our lives yarn, to connect and create with each other. The total honesty in our pieces, personally has been a huge breath of fresh air.

Unconcealed. I think this is the right word ..

1.       Hobo life brings people together in a way that is stripped of any prejudgement and conceit

2.       Villa Surya Abadi  has definitely seen the most nudity it could handle

We’ve all been like extras in a Bali-wood movie! We better come back here for a Big Fat Bali wedding in our 27 Traditional Dresses. Or Fast and Furious 17: Canguu Drift. . Whether or not any of us becomes a prolific writer extraordinaire, at least we know we have a couch available across the world or the country. Maybe Tawney will start up a successful Warung in Australia that we can write reviews for.

Where ever life takes you from here, if that’s Canada at some point please come see me <3 If it’s the Emmy’s for best director or script writer I’m expecting an invite!

Ps. Gemma, Nat and Scout keep being beautiful and putting your love into raising the Global Hobo baby through puberty and awkwardness because I hope one day it will reach adulthood, full of awesome stories for the grandkids.

peace and love <3
