The Experience

The first thing I remember is the smell of wet earth — it clung to everything as we bounced along the muddy trail on our ATVs, somewhere just outside Ubud. Our guide, Wayan, laughed when I stalled at the first bamboo grove (I’m not exactly a natural), but he just grinned and gestured for me to try again. The rice paddies were so green they almost hurt my eyes, and every now and then you’d catch a farmer waving from the edge. It felt like we were in someone else’s quiet morning.

After we peeled off our helmets (my hair was a lost cause), there was this hush before the next part — white water rafting on the Ayung River. I could hear cicadas buzzing and someone chopping vegetables in a kitchen nearby. The river looked calmer than I expected, but once we pushed off, it was all spray and laughter. Our rafting guide kept shouting “paddle!” right as I’d get distracted by a waterfall tumbling down black rocks. At one point, he pointed out carvings in the cliffside — old stories in stone I would’ve missed if he hadn’t slowed us down.

Lunch tasted better than it should have after all that — something about eating spicy chicken and sweet pineapple while your clothes are still damp from river water. We sat overlooking the jungle with steam rising from our plates. There’s this feeling you get after doing something slightly out of your comfort zone; maybe it’s pride or just relief you didn’t fall out of the raft (though I came close). Anyway, I still think about that view sometimes when things feel too quiet back home.
