A lot can happen when you set out to find yourself. Sometimes, you can even lose the plot.From visiting ancient healers with cellphone addictions to leaving a shaking ashram intent on extracting her soul, Becky Wicks soon discovered that six months travelling round Bali wasnt all going to be about finding inner peace and harmony. In fact, the perils of possessed teens, eating raw, yogic headstands, diving shipwrecks and dicing with black magic and demons all took their toll on the Island of the Gods.And that was before the vaginal steaming.Becky Wicks lifts the sarong on real life in Bali in a blur of locals, tourists, expats and other other eating, praying lovers who arrive... you know... not really knowing who they are.

For Ubud,
and everyone who stepped into
my world on this journey.
Out in the Dutch East Indies, a week east of Singapore, a night east of Java, and just south of the equator lies the little island of Bali.
Hickman Powell, 1930
Out in Indonesia, two-and-a-half hours east of Singapore on AirAsia, six hours and 25 minutes from Sydney on JetStar, lies the largest tourist destination in the country. Bali.
Becky Wicks, 2012
Six months in Bali doesnt sound like a long time in which to write a book, but I guess when you plant yourself in one of the most mystical islands on Earth you never know what might pop up! I never dreamed Id be shaking on an ashram, lugging guitars and books up a mountain, hanging with the Bali Nine, hunting witches, diving shipwrecks, watching teens be possessed by wild animals, getting my unmentionables steamed in an ancient pre-wedding rituallet alone appreciating a linen-filled wardrobe.
Obviously there are a million more things still left to explore and uncover. Bali is a complex island of luscious layers and Ive only skimmed the surface. But what follows is a taste of an experience that will stay with me all my life.
As well as talking to hundreds of people, Ive also spent many hours in the Ubud Pondok Pekak library (libraries still exist!) and our global library, Google, so all cultural facts have been checked and are correct to the very best of my knowledge. Sorry for any errors!
There are too many people to thank, as Balis unquestionable magic has worked on many occasions to bring the most helpful, insightful, knowledgable and bloody brilliant people into my path throughout the writing of this book. But Ill start with my friends: Bob Supernant, Paul Barker, Jen Baxter, Susan Berg, Trevor, Cat Wheeler/Ibu Kat, Wayan (Number 9), Putu, Sumeena and Sandesh Gupta, Elizabeth Henzell, Chara Love, Joanna Witt, Budhi, Siddhartha Hewison, Made Surya and Bar Luna. And yes, you can be friends with a bar (thanks for the coconut killers).
Thanks also to Margaret Gee, Jeanne Ryckmans and to my friends from afar who either came to experience part of this journey with me or have supported me from their various corners: Mum, Dad, Tracy, Dacey, Gaby, Pip, Russ and River.
And thanks of course and with all my heart to Bali, for the magic.
I hope you like my story.

I just had a cry. I feel so silly because it was one of those huffn-puff, stand in the middle of the room, put your head in your hands and let it all out kind of breakdowns, which are always embarrassing. I embarrassed myself and I was the only one who witnessed it. I still made it to the mirror though.
Sometimes when I cry I like to look in the mirror because I dont really cry all that often and I like to see what I look like when I do. Is that weird? I think it might be weirdbut in a way I like to remember lifes mini tragedies as turning points, visible only in the private tears on my face and the spit on my lips, rivers of mascara landing on a quivering chin. I think its the real me, somehow; the bare bones of me, the part I never show. Its like reminding myself who I am.
