bio

If you’ve ever craved the freedom of solo travel but wished for the magic of sharing it with a group of like-hearted women—you’re in the right place. I design unforgettable journeys for vibrant, soulful women who are ready to say yes to more joy, depth, and adventure.

Think: dancing barefoot under foreign skies, sipping espresso in hidden cafés, laughing until your stomach hurts with new friends who feel like old ones. My trips are equal parts wonder and wellness, curated with intention for women who want to feel alive—not just entertained.

Whether you're navigating a new chapter, rediscovering your spark, or simply craving something different, my experiences are made to meet you there—with community, creativity, and a touch of magic.

Let’s go live the story you’ll tell for years.

Indonesia > Kindred Souls in Bali with Meg Sylvester

Bali unfolds in layers of beauty and meaning—morning yoga under jungle canopies, sacred ceremonies at ancient temples, and afternoons spent diving into turquoise waters or wandering colorful local markets. This trip is made for a community of vibrant, soulful women who crave both depth and play. Together, we’ll hike to watch the sunrise from the summit of Mt. Batur, bathe in sacred waters during a traditional purification ceremony, snorkel with vibrant marine life off the coast of Nusa Penida, and learn the art of Balinese cooking in a peaceful village in Bangli. We’ll laugh through a jewelry-making class in Ubud, sway to the rhythm of a Kecak fire dance at sunset, and soak in hot springs overlooking volcanic landscapes. Every day offers a rhythm of reflection, exploration, and joy — with a sisterhood that feels like home.

Note: This is a women-only trip.

Day 1 · October 14, 2025
Welcome to Bali, welcome to serenity

-As you land at the airport, the energy starts to shift — this isn’t just another trip, it’s the start of something sacred. We’ll journey together to Ubud, Bali’s lush cultural heart, where sacred temples nestle among emerald-green rice terraces.

-After checking in at our jungle-chic sanctuary, you’ll have time to unpack, unwind, and settle into the vibe. Walk through the gardens, journal by the pool, or just breathe. It’s all about arriving, in every sense of the word..

Day 2 · October 15, 2025
Temples, monkeys, and morning flow

-We start our first full day with a guided yoga session to align mind, body, and spirit, surrounded by tropical beauty and the sounds of the forest.

-Then, we hop into vintage VW convertibles (because, yes, we’re doing Bali in style) for a Safari tour. The first stop is Taman Ayun Temple, a serene royal family temple surrounded by lotus-filled moats. Our second stop is the enchanting Sangeh Monkey Forest, where you’ll meet mischievous monkeys under ancient nutmeg trees.

-Afterward, it’s back to the hotel for free time to nap, wander, or soak in the beauty of Ubud. Today is a soft adventure, a reminder of how rich the world is when we slow down and truly see it.

Day 3 · October 16, 2025
Sound, soul, and sacred waters

-This morning, we tune inward with a Chakra Sound Healing session. You’ll lie back and let ancient tones move through you — clearing, opening, and restoring.

-Then, we get our hands into something a little sparkly with a jewelry-making class, where you’ll create a keepsake infused with your intention.

-In the afternoon, we trek through the iconic Tegallalang Rice Terraces, a landscape so magical it feels like a dream.

-We’ll end the day with a traditional Balinese purification ceremony at the sacred Pura Dalem Pingit Temple — where holy water and ancient prayers remind us we are constantly looked after.

Day 4 · October 17, 2025
Mountain magic and gastronomical wonders

-Set your alarms, babes — we’re chasing the sunrise. At 2:30 AM, we head out for a bucket-list-worthy sunrise hike up Mt. Batur, one of Bali’s most sacred volcanoes.

-At the top, the sky lights up in pinks and golds as we sip warm drinks and feel on top of the world.

-Post-hike, we’ll soak our tired limbs in the natural hot springs by Lake Batur before heading to our next home base, a peaceful eco-retreat tucked into the countryside of Bangli.

-The remainder of the day is free to rest and recharge after an early morning start.

Day 5 · October 18, 2025
Sacred sites and surfer vibes

-Today, we dive deep into Bali’s cultural core with visits to Besakih Temple — known as the 'Mother Temple' of the island — and Kerta Gosa, the former royal court with epic ceilings painted in storytelling murals.

-At the bustling Klungkung Market, you’ll find woven goods, offerings, spices, and that perfect something-you-didn’t-know-you-needed.

-Afterward, it’s time to switch gears. Hello, beach life! We head to Kuta for a beginner-friendly surfing lesson where you’ll laugh, fall, and ride a wave or two.

-For dinner, we’ll learn how to make authentic Balinese dishes from locals—hands-on, laughter-filled, and ending with a delicious dinner under the stars.

-Check into our luxe coastal retreat, where the ocean breeze and plush beds await.

Day 6 · October 19, 2025
Nusa Penida: Snorkeling Adventures and Stunning Coastlines

-The wild beauty of Nusa Penida awaits! Bring your underwater cameras. We’ll go snorkeling in turquoise waters teeming with vibrant marine life and (if we’re lucky) glide beside manta rays.

-Back on land, we explore Angel’s Billabong, a natural infinity pool carved into the cliffs, and the iconic Kelingking Beach, famous for its jaw-dropping dinosaur-shaped coastline.

-After soaking up the coastal magic, we return to mainland Bali for a relaxed evening and stories shared over sandy toes and sun-kissed skin.

Day 7 · October 20, 2025
Sunset Serenity in Tanjung Benoa

-Your morning is yours to enjoy — sleep in, swim, get a massage, or take a quiet walk along the beach.

-In the late afternoon, we journey to the dramatic clifftops of Uluwatu Temple, perched above crashing waves and home to mischievous monkeys and ancient Balinese rituals.

-As the sun sets, we’re treated to the powerful Kecak fire dance, a hypnotic chorus of chanting and storytelling under a blazing sky.

-We close the evening with a seafood grill dinner on the sands of Jimbaran Bay — candles flickering, waves rolling in, and hearts full.

Day 8 · October 21, 2025
Farewell to Tanjung Benoa: A Day of Relaxation and Reflection

-Our final morning is for reflection and ease. Maybe you’ll journal, maybe you’ll sit by the pool with your new soul sisters, or maybe you’ll simply close your eyes and feel gratitude for all that this week has given you.

-After check-out and a group transfer to the airport, we say goodbye — but not for long. I'm sure this trip has created a beautiful community of like-minded souls that will remain connected for a long time. Thank you for joining me in Bali, and I hope to see you soon!
