❤️ 1,040 Reasons to Love Bali
Bali 2026: Collecting Memories, Not Things Hi everyone! In the spirit of making questionable but exciting life decisions, I've decided to chase a dream and visit Bali. Unlike Lan Wangji, I have no intention of spending years carrying my feelings in silence and admiring what I want from afar. So I've decided it's time to stop dreaming about Bali and actually make the trip happen. Instead of collecting more stuff, I want to collect experiences, stories, and memories I'll still be talking about years from now. So I'm planning a trip to Bali—a place known for its stunning landscapes, amazing food, beautiful culture, and enough monkeys to keep life interesting. To make things a little more fun, I've set my goal at 1,040. Why 1,040? Because in Chinese internet slang, 520 (wǔ èr líng) sounds similar to "I love you." Originally, I wanted my goal to be 520, but the fundraising platform wouldn't allow it. So I doubled it. That makes 1,040 = 520 × 2. In other words: double the love, double the support, and hopefully double the chance of getting me to Bali. ❤️❤️ --- Where the Contributions Go I'm calling this the Highly Scientific Bali Budget Breakdown $5 → Coconut Fund ? $10 → Scooter Fuel Fund ? $20 → Adventure Fund ? $50 → "Let's Not Get Stranded" Emergency Fund ✈️ $100+ → "Wow, You Really Want Me To Touch Grass" Fund ? Every contribution, big or small, helps turn this plan into reality. --- ? Just For Fun To make things more interesting: The Top 10 Supporters will receive: • A random photo from the trip • A random travel story Possible stories include: • A beautiful cultural experience • An unforgettable sunset • A monkey committing petty theft • Me getting hopelessly lost despite having Google Maps Results may vary. --- ? What You'll Be Supporting Hopefully: • Rice terraces • Waterfalls • Beach sunsets • Amazing food • New experiences • Personal growth Not Hopefully: • Sunburn • Scooter-related embarrassment • Monkeys judging my life choices --- ? Final Thoughts If you'd like to support the adventure, thank you—I genuinely appreciate it. If not, that's perfectly okay too. Sharing the fundraiser is already a huge help. My goal is simple: create memories, experience something new, and come home with stories worth telling. Hopefully, I reach my goal soon. Because while Lan Wangji may have the patience to spend years yearning in silence, I would very much like to be in Bali before then. ❤️ Thank you for being part of the adventure. ?✈️ Current Status: Bali Loading... ⏳?️ Mission Objective: Turn "someday" into "boarding pass." ✈️
