On Thursday, we officially ushered in #UWRF22 at Puri Ubud, bringing the Festival to life for four days of love and literature. The night was full of magical moments, from the intimate to the spectacular, and we were honored to host our distinguished guests at Puri Ubud. And we are still reeling from last night’s epic performances.
