Bali Excursion 2026

  Metal Immersion - Bali Indonesia

Are you ready for a once-in-a-lifetime journey to Bali? Join me on an unforgettable adventure filled with culture, stunning sights, and of course jewelry. We’ll start by unwinding at a luxurious private resort, where you can relax and recharge after a long journey from the U.S. Once refreshed, we’ll embark on a series of excursions, from exploring iconic temples and bustling markets to hands-on jewelry-making experiences with local artisans. Each day will bring a new adventure, allowing us to soak up the richness of Balinese culture and creativity.
