The closest island to Lombok, Gili Air is aptly named after the Indonesian word “air” meaning “water”. It is the only Gili island to have natural underground fresh water walls. Gili Air is gem of a spot that allows you to sample the best of both worlds of the Gili islands- it has the relaxing charm of Gili Meno and a bit of the night life of Gili Trawangan.It is the most locally populated island with Read more
“How many of the 17000 islands that Indonesia has will we manage to visit in 30 days?” This was the question that I asked myself when we chose Indonesia as the next destination after Thailand.
The 30 days visa which we got on arrival at the airport was not enough for us, so we chose to come back in Indonesia and explore it as it should be done. In the months that we spent there, we had the chance to explore Indonesia from Read more
If somebody would have asked me 2 years ago about Bali and about the cost of living there, I would probably answer that it is an expensive destination, suitable to the ones that want to spend their honey moon on an exotic island and opposed to the backpackers traveling on a budget. Something inside me kept telling me that it should also be possible in another way, a cheaper way. But the truth is that I would never imagined that I can easily live with only Read more
Dacă aș spune cuiva că am zburat cu avionul doar ca să ajungem într-o destinație care să ne safisfacă papilele gustative, m-ar crede? Exact asta am făcut cu Penang, un oraș cunoscut ca și capitală culinară a Malaysiei.Ca să ajungem în Penang din Langkawi, aveam două posibilități: un ferry care dura câteva ore și costa aproximativ 15 euro sau un avion care dura 20 de minute și costa aproximativ 10 euro. Evident că am luat cea mai ieftină variantă, avionul. După un zbor placut și super rapid în care nici nu am apucat să ne decuplăm centurile de siguranță, am ajuns în aeroportul din Penang, unde așa cum suntem obișnuiți, ni s-au oferit transferuri către hostel pentru sume fabuloase. Într-un final, am găsit un autobuz care ne-a dus chiar până în Georgetown (centrul vechi al orașului) unde am avut și cazarea.
Pe drumul de la stația de autobuz și până la adresa hostelul, pe lângă faptul ca îmi învârteam capul după fiecare tarabă unde se gătea, am văzut o mulțime de pereți pictați și desenați, sârme îndoite și mesaje ascunse ale căror poveste nu o înțelegeam. Și nu, nu-i prima dată când am văzut graffiti, însă în Penang chiar era ceva diferit pentru că fiecare bucată de artă Read more
I remember even now how I was walking last summer in the port of Monaco, admiring the yachts and I imagined how beautiful it would be to have the chance to sleep on one and float on the ocean. All these huge boats made me dream and they were sending me freedom and power feelings. I was imagining how great it would be to wake up with the sun in my front, its rays shining on the boat and me being surrounded by sea and dolphins.
In less than half a year, on the other side of the world, in Langkawi, our favourite island in Malaysia, we had the chance to spend some nights at RLYC – Royal Langkawi Yacht Club. Since we arrived we were impressed by this place, by the yachts parked in the marina, by the swimming pool (we couldn’t wait to swim in it) and by theRead more
If you are a backpacker and you are traveling to Uluwatu, Bali, one of the accommodation possibilities is Bombora Surf Camp, very well located at 10 minutes walking from Padang Padang beach and close to some restaurants with delicious food.
When we were there, Bombora Surf Camp was in renovation, there were a lot of persons who were taking care of the improvement of the place in order to satisfy the needs of their clients. Even though, the Read more
The reason why I love Bali so much, is because it has to offer so many things: culture, delicious food, mountains, oceans, meditation, yoga, etc. Bali has something for everyone. Learning to surf, fishing, diving, snorkeling and stand-up paddle boarding – they’re all possible when you’re in Bali.
And the true reason why I crossed half of the world to reach Bali, were its beaches, of which wonderfulness I read about.
The most known and crowded beaches are Kuta and Semiyak. But today I want to talk about the less known beaches. Even if discovering them might be difficult sometimes,Read more
If you plan a trip to Ubud, Bali, or if you are already there, most probably you will be surprised by the numerous restaurants that you can find here. From traditional food like Gado-Gado and up to western food like italian pizza, in Ubud you will find anything you want.
One of the things I appreciated most in Ubud was the fact that they are a lot into healthy food. So, it doesn’ matter if you are omnivore and want to eat chicken meat, or if you are vegetarian or even raw vegan, Ubud is the city that has them all, especially because of the high number of tourists that choose to spend their holidays in Bali.

Kuala Lumpur was the first destination from the third country in South East Asia, Malaysia. Even from the airport we realised that Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia is a different city from the ones that we saw so far in Thailand and Indonesia. The city is much more civilised, clean and evolved, making Kuala Lumpur a Shanghai of Malaysia in which you don’t even know where to turn your head and which skyscraper to watch. This is how I discovered how much I like toRead more
Before arriving in Bali I heard many times that it is considered to be a paradise. And I never understood why some people think so. This, only until I arrived there. In a very sincere way, I am telling you that the moment I stepped in Bali, I had goose bumps. I was probably overwhelmed by all the emotions accumulated since a while and by all the good things that happened lately. Before leaving to Asia, I didn’t dream of ever arriving in Bali. I remember that one year ago I was Read more
