Lombok is all about new discoveries and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. This island has been an integral part of tourism in Indonesia for decades, and now it’s more popular than ever. However, most of the popular spots are already very well known to the “active” tourists, and it’s not always fun to switch from one beach to […]

You might already know about the Gili Islands – Indonesia’s pride and joy. They are pretty small and that’s their biggest selling point. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of becoming friends with numerous tourists that visit Lombok to relax and have a good time. Now, even though Gili Trawangan, Menu, and Air are […]

Thanks to the technological age, not only the big cities but also the relatively tiny towns and villages are connected to the rest of the world and offer pretty much the same level of comfort. However, if you’re looking for that raw, “primal” experience, make sure to visit Gili Gede. A couple of decades ago, […]

Gili Trawangan is pretty much the biggest, the most beautiful, and the most visited Gili Island out there (there are three in total). It’s located off the north-west coast of Lombok, and is known amongst the fans of traveling as the ultimate “Party Island”. Sounds quite exciting, doesn’t it? It was discovered by the Indonesian […]
