I had the pleasure of traveling to Seminyak, Bali and it reminded me so much of Lagos, Nigeria. I captured my experience in Seminyak in the video above.

Seminyak is a beach resort area at the southern end of Bali, Indonesia, with many luxury hotels, villas and spas, as well as high-end shopping and restaurants. Sleek bars and clubs with busy sunset scenes line Seminyak and Petitenget beaches, which are wide, west-facing stretches of Indian Ocean shoreline with gray sand and good surfing conditions.

Here are some of the most Instagram-able things to do in Seminyak
