  • Part 2: Dear wanderlusters, our founder, Marina Mahathir, believes there’s something special about being at a literary festival: the chance to meet authors you admire, stumble upon unexpected conversations, and connect with fellow book lovers. If you’ve never been to one, consider adding a literary festival to your travel bucket list. Marina takes us through four days at the @ubudwritersfest, from fangirling over literary idols to encounters with a stellar line-up of speakers, including @francesca.albanese.unsr.opt, @prabalgurung, Adania Shibli, @alisethiofficial, and many more. Read Marina’s full account of the experience at Zafigo.com now! #ZafigoTravel #UWRF2026 #LiteraryTravel #LiteratureLovers #WritersAndReaders
  • Part 1: A spellbinding moment as @alisethiofficial had the room hanging on every note at the recent @ubudwritersfest. This impromptu rendition took place during a panel session with renowned fashion designer, @prabalgurung, titled “Art, Apprenticeship, and Ambition” and moderated by @behavebandana, a culture journalist and sustainability advocate. The Pakistani-American singer, composer, and writer is best known for his global hit “Pasoori”. His music blends South Asian sounds, Sufi poetry, and contemporary pop. He was among the many inspiring talents Zafigo founder Marina Mahathir encountered during her fourth visit to the festival in Bali in October 2026. There is plenty more to discover from Marina’s Ubud adventures, so stay tuned! #ZafigoTravel #UWRF26 #PakistaniMusic #UbudWritersFestival

Mentored by celebrity Chef @audramorrice , their creations show how Southeast Asian food continues to evolve while staying rooted in the flavours we know and love. Take a look at the cookbook launch and some of the dishes that made it to the table. (Read more via the link in bio) #ZafigoTravel #FoodAndTravel #CulinaryTravel #MasterchefAustralia
