Theresa Unterluggauer

Hey :)
My name is Theresa. (Just a girl with a hammock)
I am from the South of Austria. I grew up surrounded by mountains, cows and grasslands. I always wanted to go abroad and leave the small home village (800 people) behind me and explore the world. I am 20 years old and starting the most beautiful journey, called life, in Bali.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"Bali :)
Whether honeymoon, slow travel, solo travel or family travel. Since I live in Bali and experience the island first hand, I can guarantee quality advice about this destination. Would you like to experience the island away from mass tourism, as well as nature up close, or perhaps immerse yourself in the Balinese culture? Then I’m the right travel expert for you."

How did you get involved in travel?

"As many travelers I wanted to see more, feel more and experience more from our world. I am always looking for different perspectives and mindsets too improve myself and to step out of my comfort zone.

As it has happened to many travelers, I came specifically only to Bali to go on holiday for a few weeks.
But for me it was very quickly clear: Loving Bali, never coming back.
Now I can call Bali my new home and I am lucky enough to be able to plan an unforgettable trip for others."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of my worst and also best travel experiences was when I was about to drive to Jatiluwih to see the rice fields on my 3 day on Bali. Unfortunately, on the entire way to Jatiluwih it was raining.... a lot. With a lot I mean I could not see anything anymore, the road was floated and my motorbike has stopped working in the middle of nowhere in the dark. I also could not call a friend because also my mobile phone needed a big bowl of rice.

Fortunately, after 1 hour a cute woman was about to passing me and stopped. I thought she would drive me to a Warung. Actually, after a 15 minute drive, we arrived her home. There I met her husband, kids, parents, nephews.... I ended up spending 2 days with them. They showed me how to cook their national meals, we sang & danced together and just having 2 amazing days.

Theresa was so awesome from the beginning!

She created a perfect itinerary exactly what we wanted and covers all the things we wanted to see, even planned a small secret birthday celebration and massage for my gf and her best friend. Throughout the trip she always check up on us to make sure the trip is going as planned and that we're satisfied with everything! She is definitely the best specialist we could ask for on this Bali trip!

Our Driver: Agung
Agung from the very first time we met him, he's always with a smile. Despite driving us all day he never says no to any of our request if we all of a sudden need to go somewhere. No matter how early how late, he's always at the spot way early ready to take us on our everyday journey. He used to be a tour guide, so that's a huge bonus! He was able to suggest us different hidden spots and other things to explore on the go, but at the same time totally respect what we want. And that really made our already perfect trip even more perfect!! Not only that, he genuinely cares about us. In the middle one of us not feeling well he would go out of his way to find medicine for us, with his own money! Or provide whatever he had on him, like vitamins or cough drops. He was like a Bali dad to us taking care of us for 7 day straight which made this trip that much more special! We would always ask him to eat lunch and dinner with us, he didn't even try to take advantage, hed always say he's full or that's too expensive he doesn't want us to treat. We always have to force him haha. When we arrive at airport on departure day, we all even teared up a little that our journey with Agung came to an end. He is such a special driver that I'll never forget!

Theresa and Agung are both amazing that made our trip so wonderful!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable Bali trip!!!

Hotel Reviews
Arkamara Dijiwa Ubud

You would not believe where this hotel is, the road leading to it is so tiny and hidden, but that makes it so surprising when you get to the hotel! So pretty and relaxing! Living in the jungle with beautiful infinity pool in the middle! Never stayed at any hotel like this! The breakfast so special and pretty we look forward to it every morning! Staff are all so great and friendly. Always doing their best to accommodate whatever you request! Wonderful hotel!

Only bummer was we only stayed one night. Beautiful hotel with amazing buffet breakfast right next to the beach. Room was so spacious and pretty. The infinity pool was so beautiful that faces the beach and ocean. Definitely wanna come back to this hotel to stay a bit more next time. They also have bikes for you to ride around and just a little walk or ride you get to this street with lots of little shops to buy souvenirs and money exchange, it was nice!

Theresa was fantastic! We only started planning this trip about 3 weeks before we planned to go, and she made it happen. She gave us a great first draft of our itinerary based on the online survey we took, and then helped us to fine tune it until our trip was exactly what we wanted. She understood the vibe we were going for, the mix of activities, and then when we were in Bali, she checked on us almost every day.

She understood the vibe we were going for, the mix of activities, and then when we were in Bali, she checked on us almost every day. We loved the cultural experience in Sideman, the sunrise hike up Mount Batur, the scuba diving in Gili Air, and the beach hopping around Bukit Peninsula. She also surprised us with massages at two of our hotels! Also, a big shout out to our driver Bagus - he was always on time and very fun to get to know! He answered all our questions about Bali and Indonesia and even taught us some phrases in both languages. After this trip, we want to go back! And would definitely want to work with Theresa and Bagus again if we could :)

Beautiful property with fantastic staff! About 20 minutes from Ubud centre, but the hotel offers a free shuttle to/from throughout the day.

Le Yanandra Resort Bali

We loved our 2-bedroom villa! Beautiful indoor and outdoor living spaces. The hotel offered breakfast served in the room so we did that every morning. Our only critiques are the bugs - lots of ants and spiders, particularly in our bathroom. And also, the neighborhood dogs and roosters were loud throughout the day. The latter didn’t bother us too much, but that could bother other guests. Also, the location is a bit far from shops and restaurants. You’ll either need to rent a motorbike (we did this) or the hotel can also arrange taxi rides for you, but that can get pricey.

Highlights...many...but highly recommend the Morning Sunrise Trek (awesome guide from #ikakomangfrombali (on IG)); jungle trek to the eco-cafe, where you can grind and roast your own coffee beans in front of spectacular waterfall!; the Monkey Forest is a must...yes it may be a little touristy, but you have to go. Amazing creatures!; Bali cooking class was exceptional...we had private class (Vegan) and was superb host. Not just the cooking but history and culture of Balinese family and house (#ubadubudbali); and then the rice fields...so many to see and you get to walk around (short or long walk) one of the most spectacular in the country; temples! do not be surprised with how many temples there are...we spent quality time at probably 4 or 5 and each had a different history...make sure you have someone like Padma to make sense of it all!
Plenty of other things to see...even the beaches in Santur are nice; peaceful and great for kids/families...we didn't go to the other side to see the surfers!
So, all in all best experience we can remember AND the Balinese are just so sincerely friendly
