we found our guide on the internet before leaving for bali
after a few emails we knew she was right for us both western and living with her balineise family she was able to show us a side of bali that until now has remain hidden[3 visits].her family compound her family itself her indepth knowledge of indonesian language and culture her inteligent insights bought us closer then we could have ever imagined before the trip.i can honestly say that although we have been to bali many times before i consider this the first time that i have caught a glimpse of the balinese soul.the sights colours and human experience that is usualy hidden behind the sanitized tourist strips.she let us in ,beyond the caricature of balinese life into the life itself.if you have any specific interests from kitchen implements to temple rituals walking tours todriving expeditions i cant recommend her highly enough .her e-mail niluhnyo@indo.net.id.her name is sandy
