New Year Trip to Bali Part IV

New Year Eve at Kuta Beach

Finally the 5^th day in Bali, it was basically the last fun day before going back to Sumbawa the next day. After Ubud, I took Grabbike to move to my next hostel in Legian. Why Legian? I knew it would be so crowded, I just wanted to be in a crowded place for once. It was New year eve anyway. 

New Year Trip to Bali Part III

Gianyar, Ubud & Kintamani

 

My 4^th day in Bali was the most expensive day during the whole trip. I actually could just explore around with some other friends but I decided to contact the grab guy I hired before and take a 6 hours private tour to Gianyar, Ubud & Kintamani area. My main purpose to go to Bali was to get relax this time, so I’d like to take a day to explore by myself.

New Year Trip to Bali Part II

 Uluwatu, Seminyak & Denpasar

 

Starting my 2^nd day in Bali on December 28^th, a Couchsurfing friend from The Philippines (Cess) just arrived in the morning and she would join me to go to some beaches in the south. Together with 2 other Couchsurfers from Mexico (Luis) & Malaysia (Prash) we started around 11 am to drive to our 1^st destination that day, Uluwatu Temple. I stayed near Ngurah Rai Airport and from there it took like an hour to get to Uluwatu Temple, we stopped somewhere on the way to have early lunch.

New Year Trip to Bali Part I

 Jimbaran & Nusa Dua

It’s been a half year since my last trip, many things going on lately that I had to focus on. But I finally had a week off for my new year vacation. After long consideration about where to go and how much money I had (most important issue), I decided to go to Bali…AGAIN! I’m gonna write about the trip in some parts and here is part I.

Malang Trip Part IV

Coban Pelangi & Coban Bidadari

The original plan was to go to some beaches on my 4^th day in Malang but i found it difficult cause as i heard the public transportation to go to beaches area is not so easy and i was not sure to drive motorbike by myself there so i kinda changed the plan to just stay at the dorm resting -,-

Malang Trip Part III

Goa Tetes & Tumpak Sewu waterfalls

  

Phewww it took a month for me to write another article from the same last trip, kinda lost my mood for awhile. Next trip to share about is the experience going to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall which was also my main reason to do that Malang trip. Saw people’s pictures on Instagram and it was sooo good that i promised myself i had to be there too.

Malang Trip Part II

Coban Rais & Coban Putri

On my 2^nd day of Malang trip, a local friend took me to Batu City. There are many interesting destinations in Batu but my plan was going to Coban Rais cause i’ve been wanting to take a picture on a swing which i saw a lot on Instagram and it was so cool :D. We drove a motorbike and it took over an hour to get there.

Malang Trip Part I

The Colorful Jodipan Village 

On February 2018 i still wasn’t sure where to go for my Eid holiday on June, i had some options and Malang wasn’t in it. Till i saw a pretty cheap ticket to go there and without thinking i just decided to buy it. So i started looking for some informations about where to go in Malang. I didn’t regret my decision at all, turned out i had so much fun backpacking to Malang.

Photoshoot LOL \\(^O^)//. Yea this time was more about doing a photoshoot instead of travel. Re-watching Asia’s next top model lately that I woke up one day thinking I wanted to do the same like those models did :D. The results were freaking different tho -,- but still!!

3 days trip to Senaru – North Lombok

It’s been 3 months since my last trip, something holds me back from traveling lately, it’s called movies & dramas -,-. Been staying home every weekend for 3 months to do this movie marathon till I finally realized I miss going somewhere. So when we had this 3 days off on March, I decided to go to Senaru – North Lombok.

Ai Nyember – Kerekeh

I actually didn’t plan to write about this trip cause all the pictures I got there are all pretty much at the same spot and that it was just a short half day trip, just wanted to get some pictures while relaxing and hammocking. But after the trip ended I couldn’t hold myself not to share our adventure that day.

New Year Trip Around Lombok Part II

GILI MENO & GILI TRAWANGAN

After exploring south beaches, cave and waterfall I continue my trip to Mataram, stayed there for couple of days meeting friends, making plans about New Year Eve and actually was planning on going to Tiu Teja Waterfall but my friend missed our appointment so it was canceled, it was sad cause I’ve been wanting to go there for couple years now, always missed my chances.

New Year Trip Around Lombok Part I

Beaches, Cave & Waterfall

New year holiday is always something I’ve been waiting for cause that’s one of 2 long holidays I have. I was planning on going to Cambodia for New Year Trip 2017 but because of something happened and some other blablabla, I ended up taking 8 days to go backpacking around Lombok again. 

Ai Beling Waterfall - Sumbawa

I knowwww I’ve been writing about Ai Beling waterfall for so many times now but I’m not gonna stop writing about it everytime I go there cause there is always new story to write about. Especially this time I fell off of the motorbike, oh wait,,I think it happened before too. I think I fell off of the motorbike everyime I went there…………….

Tropica & Jelenga Beach

Oh please don’t get bored of my Jelenga Beach stories, I know it’s like the 5^th times I’m writing about it but I just like going there again and again. Or maybe it wasn’t a 100% true cause going there last weekend was just a last minute decision and we didn’t know where else to go.

2 Days Trip to Singapore

Well it was actually less than 2 days but it was a short productive trip. Singapore was always on my ‘where to go’ list, always thought about how advanced the country is and how different it is with where I live. Luckily I finally got a change to spend even just a short trip but had a very good time exploring around Singapore.

One of the programs of Adventurous Sumbawa community is Coral Reef Transplantation that they decided to do that at Ai Lemak beach which is not that far from the city center. That I didn’t join the activity (sorry) cause I was busy but last weekend I finally went to see the progress of the reef growth and it was wonderful.

Birthday Trip to Bali

Even tho so much less people wishing me happy birthday and less presents this year but I got a fun present on my 27^th birthday, free trip to Bali. I’ve been to Bali few times before but this one was just special and I went to some beaches in south of Bali and stayed at a unique villa, loved it!

The Suites & The Gilis – Sekotong

On July when we had long vacation I went backpacking to Sekotong – West Lombok and spent a week exploring around. Only few weeks after that I went back there but not as a backpacker but as a guide this time, so the trip was pretty fancy lol. But it look me few months to get in the mood to write about it -,-

Batu Dulang Eco-Tourism

Along with the increasing progress of Sumbawa tourism, making more and more new attractions began to emerge. One of the newest spots which are getting pretty popular lately is in Batu Dulang District. Located in the mountainous area makes Batu Dulang has beautiful scenery. It inspires them to build this spot called Teba Panotang.
