IN LOVE WITH BALI
We are a couple of nomads who used to explore the globe. The day we stepped our foot on Balinese ground one thing was clear - we fell in love. We kept coming back every few months and understood that this is a love affair for a lifetime. We fully moved here in 2018 and been exploring the island ever since. We’re excited to share what we’ve found and show you this beautiful corner of the world.

JESSIE RUSSELL
“I’ve been traveling my whole life. My parents had a burning passion for exploring which I have inherited. It's no surprise that I was destined to meet Miller on my vacation on Hawaii. Since then we’ve been sight-seeing together up until we’ve fell in love with Bali.”
MILLER DONOVAN
“I am inspired by nature and diversity of planet Earth. I'm a photographer and take pictures wherever I go - same goes for my beloved Bali. I am lucky to share my time with amazing Jessie, who is the best companion to explore this island with. Together, we've turned every stone in this place and are ready to share our finding with you.”
How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
