Beautiful Bonds & Tropical Heat: A Journey Through Java and Bali
This journey unfolded like a rhythm — beginning with birthday candles and leading to crater lakes, moving from jungle lullabies to beach sunsets. As we traveled across Java and Bali, our group of five multi-nationals carved 18 days of memory. Along the way, we rode fast trains, witnessed temple dances, and laughed on motorbikes beneath waterfall light. In the end, this was travel uninterrupted — and joy, preserved. West Java Day 1: Heathrow to Jakarta, a beautiful beginning In the beginning, it was just me and my dear Italian husband, boarding our flight from Heathrow. But this wasn’t just a departure — it was a carefully choreographed reunion. In Singapore, my brother-in-law would join us, flying in from Milan…
JOURNAL
Follow real trips across multiple days and cities.
Through honest, day-by-day reflections, we share what was lived — not just where we went. As you read, you’ll discover how each moment connects, how choices unfold, and how constraint shapes experience.
ItinerarIES
Explore micro-journeys designed for transit, day trips, and shorter routes.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or building a longer journey piece by piece, these guides offer modular options you can combine, adapt, and extend. In this way, planning becomes intentional — shaped by time, not limited by it.
GUIDES
Practical advice, how-to posts, and travel logistics
While some stories unfold in motion, others linger in memory. Here, we write about the in-between — the pauses, the rituals, and the emotional texture that stays long after the journey ends.
Vacations mean a change of pace, a gentleness with ourselves, a time of rest and renewal, and a time to stretch ourselves and encounter new people, new lands, new ways, and new options.

What Interrupted Really Means
Travel Interrupted was born from the tension between longing and limitation.
Life — work, caregiving, funding, borders — shapes how we move. Yet those limits also shape purpose. Because our time is fragmented, we plan our journeys with care — so that each moment can hold meaning. Instead of rushing, we seek depth. We travel to see how others live, to taste culture, and to learn ritual. Rather than ticking boxes, we want to be opened. We want to experience the most in the little time we have.
That’s why we share what we’ve lived. Journeys are journals of experience. Meanwhile, micro-journeys distill routes, timing, and lessons into modular pieces you can pick, adapt, and plug into your own plan. In this way, our research and reflections become tools for your own carefully planned path.
