Rather than asking, which came first the chicken or the egg? One might ask which came first, Balinese or Indonesian food?

To clarify, or maybe confuse further, Luwak Coffee, Kopi Luwak, Civet Coffee, and Cat Poop Coffee are the same rare beverage. The coffee has a variety of different names for different reasons, but no matter the name the product remains the same. Before we dive into all the juicy details behind this coffee,

For some people, it’s a job opportunity, a way to make a dream a reality, an idea that might solve some of life’s’ problems. Or, maybe a new relationship, but, for me, it was a town. There I was, minding my own business. Just rolling along The Million Dollar Highway on one of my motorcycles and BOOM! Just down below, was a postcard-perfect sight I’ll never forget. I’

As they say, “life’s about the journey not the destination”, right? Well, that is exactly how a spectacular road trip is accomplished also! Road trips, like many things in life, will be what you make them and no two will ever be the same.
