From Bali to Bulgaria, Costa Rica to Zanzibar, Matador readers shared their ideal locations that epitomize bliss on earth.

After browsing through our readers’ comments submitted as part of our latest book giveaway, Keith Jenkins‘ comment below instantly transported the Matador editors right there with its ripe descriptions and thus made him our winner!

Travel Therapy

I find Bali very therapeutic.

It can be very hectic & the traffic is sometimes horrendous (especially around the main tourist areas) but there’s something about the charm and grace of the Balinese, the enchanting scenery and temples, and the amazing spas (the concept was probably invented there!) that I find absolutely soothing.

Sinking my feet into the cool sand of Jimbaran or Seminyak with a cold beer and a lobster platter while watching the sunset is my idea of bliss!…Keith Jenkins

He wins a copy of the new book Travel Therapy: Where Do You Need To Go? – filled with stunning photos of exotic locations from around the world.

Check out the accompanying mouthwatering photo essay on Matador Trips that spotlights locations described in the entries.

Thanks for participating!
