The moment, we asked for travel synchronicities, we started receiving them! This one is from healing mudras, a Reiki healer, whose synchronicities we have posted before. The first story of hers we posted was Bangkok Odds.
She’s a European expat living in Bangkok and her travels take her all over Asia. Right now, she’s in Bali, which is where this story takes place.

While in Laos, I met a lady, who I had possibly met earlier in my life or at least we had been working in a similar environment and had common acquaintances. She is from Jamaica, a single mother. I lived 6 years in Trinidad and Tobago and have a mixed race daughter from there. I, too, am a single mother.
In early April 2010, she’d planned a holiday to Bali and I told her I had, too, a trip I planned to take with my daughter, and why didn’t we get together? Our travel dates matched perfectly. Good start. We were on the same flight from Bangkok to Bali, which is not so much weird as there’s just one Thai Airways flight per day between those 2 destinations. Our kids had never met and they really enjoyed each other’s company. So we were happy to see our week in Bali unfold really nicely. More conversations unfolded, including that we actually had common stories. common acquaintances. I began to feel I had found a sister ‘sistah!”
Anyhow, she told me that by Friday a Jamaican friend of her would travel from another city in Indonesia just to meet her a short while before she flies back. So here we are up in the mountains of Bali waiting for dinner. In the meantime a few nights back I actually had joined a Facebook group of West Indians Living in Asia and she said, “Well, hey, there’s the man!”
So when he arrives we were actually planning to arrange transportation back to our respective hotels with our respective children already exhausted by a long day of walking and jumping in the Monkey Forest. We canceled our scheduled taxis as her Jamaican friend had a driver.The evening unfolded with several connections, one after another, with this Jamaican man, whom I had never met, but with whom I felt camaraderie.
By the end of the evening, we got ready to leave and named our hotels. The Jamaican man said, “Oh, Isabella, you’re staying where I am, so no worries about transportation.You can ride with me and my driver.”
When we walked to his car, the driver was the same man I had booked to drive us back – the taxi I had canceled earlier — and the very same driver who had taken me down the hill that morning!
The next morning, while having brunch, we kept discovering we had more acquaintances in common. One of them is a very famous Reiki Master. And the Jamaican isn’t even into Reiki! What are the odds?
Thanks to all of these synchronicities, this trip to Bali is one of the best I’ve ever had.

What I particularly like about this story is that right from the start, when Isabella and her “sistah” exchanged travel itineraries and discovered they were leaving for Bali on the same date and flight, synchronicity was already humming in the background.
The book was called 'Is Death the Ultimate Orgasm' By Mike Agostini. 🙂
It wasn't very well written in some parts, but interesting nonetheless.
A Bali website scooped this story?! How cool is that?
The internet is an awesome tool.
A Bali website already scooped up this story!
