Rose, if I might suggest, it could well be better for you that rather than seeking out 鈥渁 traveling companion or two鈥� that you concentrate on meeting other expats here in Ubud who have already gone through the process you are about to embark upon.

There are quite a number of expatriate Australians living in the Ubud area.

Where and how to meet them?

Here are just a few suggestions:

-Hash House Harriers.听 You mention that you are fit, thus you might enjoy a good trek or run on a local Ubud Hash run.听 Naughty Nuri鈥檚 Warung is the home base for the Ubud Hash, and you can always stop by and pick up the latest Hash Run sheet and participate.

-Nuris is also a long established informal meeting place, hang out, as well as the Fly Caf茅 just up the road from Nuris.听 At the Fly Caf茅, every Friday night is 鈥淨uiz Night鈥� and you鈥檒l always find many expats hanging out and having some fun including a number of Australians.听

-Ubud Rotary is another way to meet other expats, and moreover it affords the local expats with common goals to 鈥済ive back鈥� a bit of what they have come to enjoy from their lives here.

-The Bali Advertiser which is published bi-monthly, is free and can be found in most shops and restaurants.听 In that phone book size tabloid you can find almost endless information about expat get togethers, activities and events covering all of Bali.

What you seek is already here, and unlike a traveling companion, what is here is in the position of having experience and knowledge that your fellow traveling companion will most likely, not have.

Cheers, and good luck!

Hi Ubudian
Thanks for your response.听 Of course you're right.听 i just find the idea of starting all over yet again very daunting, but that's never held me back before.听
I appreciate your suggestions too.听 Maybe I'll bump into you over there next year.

It is daunting, but that's why the encouragement and advice of others who have been through it will be so helpful to you.

You'll find it very easy to make friends here!听 听

Cheers, and good luck!
