hey u, mau here

currently in a place called Amed in Bali – almost 3 hours away from Canggu(where I'm staying). megaaaa island-life vibes here.

tbh it almost TOO chill here lol… but honestly?

it's dope. i'm sitting in a badass, open air, organic vibe, stone-wooden furniture filled cafe.

been thinking of what to write and honestly, I had no idea.my mind has been slow today. but these past two days I've been straight up adventure–flow maxxing.

here's a (not-so-quick) snapshot of my last 48 hours:

• Monday morning, random travel influencer girl on IG tells me to meet her in Sidemen (2 hours away)
• I said fuck it – adventure – i'm in.
• had work to do so I drive one hour, stop at a cafe to eat and work for 2 hours…
• then drive 1 hour up the side of the mountain (views were insane)
• get to Sidemen – girl is busy with her content shit (never even saw her LOL)
• so work at a cafe for a bit then go explore – I find these CRAZY ass rice fields with the sickest views and got the coolest shots of my life. new pfp unlocked)
• it starts getting dark AF on me (lowkey scared) and I still had no where I was even staying 😅
• I drive to the little center and ask some locals if they knew where I could sleep
• some choppy english later, I'm following some kid down some sketchy back trail roads...
• I pull up to this place, tell them my sich – and use my slick bargaining skills + smile to get a sweet deal ($17)
• place turns out to be SICK (and they were SO nice) – overlooking some crazzzzyyy mountain field
• go to bed at 1 - wake up at 6:30 for sunrise
• work all morning on stuff for my community (till 12). (coffee + banana pancakes + omelette included)
• check out, go to cafe – work ALL afternoon (till 5) at this place with more INSANE views (still never saw the girl lmfao)
• at this point, I had two options:
• drive 2 hours back to Canggu (but i'd end up hitting night time) OR…
• drive 1 hour to Amed to visit another friend from IG
• didn't want to drive at night – plus I had been meaning to check this place out so i said fuck it!
• drive to Amed - girl literally lives in butt-fuck-nowhere – GPS leads me straight to a river creek and my bike gets STUCK (it was literally almost dark)
• Balinese man comes out of nowhere to help me out
• Girl comes to the rescue (she ACTUALLY followed thru – THANK GOD - otherwise I would've been fucked)
• pull up to her place – go to a bonfire – then i come back and work till 1am
• woke up at 7 this morning. go to beach, workout, and now we're here at this "organic zen" cafe – and yep – more "work" :)

lol. long story – but that's the past 48 hours summed up in short bullet points.

and basically, all i can say is:

you need to be adventure-flow maxxing.

none of this was planned lol. and even the part that WAS planned (meeting up w influencer chick) DIDN'T EVEN GO TO PLAN.

but either way, just flowed w it.

had a badass time – got some insane content – hell work done – and now i'm here, on a tropical island paradise with some cute girl i met online (from the bird).

it feels like i'm on a divine timeline and every moment is just a pure manifestation from the last.

and this is ALL because i've fully followed my highest excitement in every single moment, listened to the clues, and completely surrendered to the flow.

– even when (especially when) nothing made sense.

so if you're feeling called to do something/go somewhere (no matter HOW crazy, dumb, scary, or "unrealistic" it is)…

just surrender.

tune into every single moment and follow what feels the MOST exciting to you.

this is your soul speaking to you.

it doesn't have to make sense right now (and most of the time, it won't)…

but eventually, it will all make perfect sense :)

that's it.

keep flowing.

talk soon
