“Few isles tempt the imagination with the lure of adventure quite like the wild land of Sumatra. An island of extraordinary beauty, it bubbles with life and vibrates under the power of nature. Eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis are Sumatran headline-grabbers. Steaming volcanoes brew and bluster while standing guard over lakes that sleepily lap the edges of craters. Orang-utan-filled jungles host not only our red-haired cousins, but also tigers, rhinos and elephants. And down at sea level, idyllic deserted beaches are bombarded by clear barrels of surf.” – Lonely Planet

Adventure awaits on this incredible island. One of my favorite, but most challenging hikes I’ve done leaves you sore but speechless. Lombok is a little closer look into what life in Indonesia is really like outside of the heavy tourism. 

“As beguiling, beach-blessed and downright blissful as its near neighbour Bali, Lombok is now much more than just a surfers’ paradise.” – Lonely Planet

Traveling to the Gili Islands completely changed my outlook on relaxation. I quite enjoy the beach but am very much a do-er on vacation and after one day of lounging I can get a bit antsy. Not so here. I could’ve spent the rest of forever on these tiny islands that have everything you need in paradise. It would seem that they live up to the name they have made for themself worldwide. When you’re here, everything else seems to fade away and without even trying you begin to just appreciate the moment. 

“Floating in a turquoise sea and fringed by white sand and coconut palms, the Gilis are a vision of paradise. ” – Lonely Planet

Contrary to what most originally think, Bali is an entire island comprising of many different cities and areas each with its own distinct vibe and offerings.  Decide which ones are right for you!
