About Candidasa

 

Candidasa is a small beach town located in the southern coast in Bali.

I decided to spend some day here for a few reasons.

First of all, it was not too far from Ubud (my previous stop), and not to far from Nusa Dua (my next destination)

Secondly, I read that you can do a decent snorkeling here, not as good as in Amed for example, but considering the distances it was a good compromise. You won't find huge corals here, but there are some nice spots to swim with colored fishes in a safe environment (especially in the resort area)

Last but not least, a day trip from Candidasa will let you discover some of the most beautiful places in Bali!

Let's see which ones!

When I left for Bali I was ready to land to a vegan paradise, and I wasn’t disappointed.

It’s actually easy to find vegan food in Bali and, most important, you don’t need to look for it in western-looking restaurants but you can enjoy local dishes instead.

Nevertheless, I think you should be aware of a huge difference that you will find between Ubud and other areas...here’s my experience.

Animal abuse in Bali

One my my biggest fears when I travel is to stumble upon some case of animal abuse.

Bali is known to be a paradise on earth and to be pretty vegan friendly, but as its human population in omnivore the cases of animal abuse in Bali are just the same as in any other country of the world.

I have noticed that many bloggers are strongly concerned about stray cats and dogs, but I honestly think that this is not the major problem...the worst cases of animal abuse in Bali (as anywhere else) are related to farmed animals.

I discovered so many examples of that in only a few hours that I need to share this with you.
