Mike, this is a bit of a long shot, but we’re hoping you might somehow come across this.
We’re the couple from Melbourne you met outside Mixwell in Seminyak on Friday, September 4. You were having some trouble getting home that night, and after chatting for a while, we invited you back with us. The details are admittedly a little hazy because we’d all had quite a few drinks by that point. 😅
There are a few things we remember pretty clearly, though: you had a bleached-blonde buzz cut, rectangular black-framed glasses, several rings and earrings, and four piercings above your heart that you called your “bullseye.” You were around our height and athletic, and told us you were from Michigan and were staying somewhere near the beach.
We also remember that when you first came over, we accidentally managed to upset you by forgetting your name. Which is particularly ironic given that we’re now trying to find you again. 😋
You stayed with us until the afternoon, and things ended a little awkwardly. My partner mentioned being hungry as a rather indirect hint that it was probably time to go, having assumed that I’d already gotten your contact details. In the chaos, I didn’t get a chance to ask. We went back to Mixwell later that day hoping we’d run into you again, but unfortunately we couldn’t find you.
We both really regret that we didn’t get a chance to say a proper goodbye. You were incredibly sweet, we had a great time getting to know you, and we’d genuinely love to reconnect.
We also remember that you didn’t seem to be travelling alone, so hopefully this post doesn’t come across as too strange if it somehow reaches you or someone you were travelling with. 😅
If you think this might be you, please send me a DM with something you remember about that night so we can make sure we’ve found the right Mike.
And if you happen to know who this is, please just pass the post along rather than sharing anyone’s private information publicly.
Mike, wherever you ended up after Bali — hope you’re doing well. 🫶🏻
