Sidemen is a Good Place to Do Nothing (Side Quest 24)

On the Eastern edge of Bali, a few hours from the bustling draw of Ubud is the small rural area of Sidemen.

A population of 39,000 split across 10 villages, some people say that Sidemen reflects Bali from 20 years ago. A place before the influx of investment capital into hospitality to support the growing tourism surge on the island.

A place of massive rice fields, subsistence farming and the classic Balinese gentleness that captures the heart of travellers.

Comparing this to the developed Canggu, flush with people, non-stop activities, and, for me, a fear of God in driving anything with more than two wheels down the small streets, I feel as though I've gone back in time in Sidemen. It's a peaceful place, a feeling of serenity.
