~*~

Like most twenty-somethings in a post-pandemic world, Greta Ste. Marie has a killer case of burnout.

But she also has a vision. And some capital. And with the help of her boyfriend Josh and a buddy of his she’s never met, she’s able to snatch up four hundred acres to make her dream of Camp Bliss a reality.

And whoever said God laughs when you make plans needs to be punched in the neck because nothing about that is funny.

***

Zach Rousseau knows that walking away from his six-figure salary at a Boston law firm sounds crazy. But the chance to be outside? In nature? Every day? And actually help people?

What could be better?

When his best friend Josh offers him the chance to build something new, Zach jumps at it.

He just wasn’t planning to fall so hard.

CAMP BLISS PORTRAITS.

this is my final camp bliss blogpost!

these are a few portraits I took during my stay of some of the lovely camp bliss girls. i am so lucky to have met these beautiful people (as well as everyone whose portrait I didn't get to take!). we would run bare-footed in the soft rain, stealing away to quite places to photograph one another and create a little magic.

A room inspired by all-natural flowers found in the area. It's cozy and private! When the cold breeze blows and you need to warm up, there's a fireplace close.

Inside and out, the gleaming black and ivory complemented the color scheme. A path from the room's ancient windows, which are enormous in size and bring in light and spectacular sun rays, and over to the lush green garden, which will revive you as take the leave from the Royal Suite at the Balmoral by Camp Bliss. The four-person occupancy makes it an ideal vacation house for a relaxing family trip.

CAMPBLISS - PART FOUR.

part one // part two // part three // part four

I'm writing this final Camp Bliss photodiary post from the comfort of my lounge room. The air is cool here in Melbourne and rain is falling freely. Ubud already feels a world away, my newly made friends are safely in their home countries and I'm missing them terribly. Ubud was life changing. I know that's a really cliché thing to say but I can't explain it any other way. I've never fallen so deeply in love with a place in my life. It was so culturally rich, full of life, colour and laughing people. People who worship beautiful gods, are so honest, respect their land and live so happily with so little. In the mornings I was greeted with a warm sun and a cold shower, and by the afternoon the storms had rolled in, thunder shaking my bones and rain pelting down creating music in the puddles. I danced and danced in the rain, I photographed and filmed the droplets. I was fascinated by the bugs, the lizards, the bats, the frogs, the fireflies, the monkeys, all living together in wild nature. I'm a ghostly pale girl who isn't not very outdoorsy, but in Ubud I was wild. Barefooted, matted hair, adorned in colourful clothes and sun-kissed skin.

Camp bliss meant so much more to me than just packing up and going on a holiday. Since I was a little girl i've been struggling with sickness-inducing anxiety. It is a constant voice in my head telling me what I can't do, what could happen if I do something, how staying in my safe little house is the only thing I can do. After this trip, I can honestly say I have never been more proud of myself in my entire life. When I was sixteen I told myself I would never let my anxiety control me, it would not stop me from living. And so, against all odds, I do things that terrify me everyday and for that I am eternally grateful. To pack my bags, travel across the ocean by myself, meet up with people whom I had only met briefly (most I had never met at all), and explore a country so very different to my own. It may have taken all my strength, but it has also given me more strength than I could ever have imagined.

colours on the street of Ubud.

little hidden oasis, peeking in from the street.

beautiful bella photographing on the street.

i fell in love with this sweet, little bead store. the woman who made all these beautiful necklaces told me she makes them from recycled glass, and i showed her my sea glass necklaces.

we stopped by the markets to buy some gifts.

bella was treated like a celebrity by a group of tourists who all had their picture taken with her.

ubud food appreciation. delicious meals for less than $5, all fresh and vegetarian.

raw lasagna and herbal ice tea.

melanie's raw ice cream pie. tasted like what dreams are made of.

some of my favourite places at our villa (and i would spend hours sitting and dreaming).

a cafe called cafe. one of my favourite places to eat for their delicious drink called a lavender spritzer.

secret gardens.

watching bella photograph heidi for her on going series.

sunrise.

sunset.

sweet little bahli having an afternoon nap.

painting with water colours on our front doorstep, feeling endlessly inspired.

heidi's amazing creation.

bella photographing dom and lilly-mary in our pool.

these two are so gorgeous.

on my last day I had a few errands to run, heidi and I jumped onto her scooter and rode into town. this was my favourite shop in Ubud, and I bought a few more goodies.

we stopped by Mingle, one of our favourite place for cocktails.

michelle and jareth, cutest couple ever!

my final morning in Ubud, watching out the window of the van to the airport. saying final goodbyes on the steps of the villa was so hard, tears streaming down my face while hugging some of the most wonderful people.

waiting on the plane. i began to read "Eat, Pray, Love" which is proving to be a wonderful book.

a little gif of my last view of indonesia.

i spent most of the first flight reading and watching out of the window. there were some of the most incredible clouds i had ever seen, i'd never felt so lucky to be alive.

peering down through the clouds, first sights of Singapore.

boats in the storm.

I'm coming home with new friends, new experiences, new outlooks and a new love for this world. Thank you all for helping me to have one of the best experiences of my life so far.

CAMPBLISS - PART THREE.

Today i'm taking you on a scooter ride through the heart of Ubud. We're passing rice fields, burning offerings, wild dogs and happy locals. You cling to the back of the scooter with one hand, the other taking pictures to document everything you see. The wind is in your hair and the sun warming your skin.

a sad little monkey that breaks my heart

little moments pass by in a blur, barely catching my eye.

pretty lydia and amanda on our adventure.

the looks we get from the locals after passing them on three occasions when we were a little lost.

a treacherous trail along side the monkey forest.

a few friends came to say hello.

beeping constantly to avoid the dogs.

life is peacefully simple and full of colour.
