Your Host
Gracie O’Connor & McKenzie Morgan
Hi!! We’re Gracie O’Connor (@gracieoconnor) and McKenzie Morgan (@styledbymckenz) — best friends who bonded over style, travel, and saying “we should book it” instead of “maybe one day.”
Over the last three years, we’ve built a friendship around shared trips, outfit planning, sunset dinners, and taking pics of literally everything. Combined we’ve seen over 100 countries and Bali has been at the top of our bestie bucket list for a long time.
We’re so excited to host this trip and bring you along for the kind of adventure we love most: aesthetic places, cultural immersion, new friends and of course great outfits along the way. Whether you’re coming alone or finally booking it with your BFF we seriously cannot wait to experience Bali with you and leave with new friends!🌴
Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival in Ubud
Welcome to Bali. Upon arrival at Ngurah Rai International Airport, your group will be met by your driver and transferred through rice fields and village roads to Ubud, the island’s artistic and spiritual heart. The shift from airport energy to jungle calm happens quickly, and you will begin to feel the rhythm of Bali almost immediately.
After settling into your hotel, gather with McKenzie & Gracie and your fellow travellers for a welcome meeting. This is your moment to connect, set intentions for the week and meet the community you will be sharing the journey with. The evening concludes with a group dinner at Sayuri Healing Food, known for its vibrant plant based cuisine, fresh juices and relaxed bohemian atmosphere.
