Indonesia

Indonesia may not be able to offer every visitor their own Eat, Pray, Love experience. But this vast archipelagic country will certainly deliver on glorious sunsets, world-renowned waterfalls, delicious smoothie bowls and the opportunity to disconnect from the world for a week in the jungle.

No island brings more international visitors to Indonesia than Bali, the Island of the Gods. Resplendent with some of the best jungle waterfalls in the world, your days will be filled with navigating winding roads through the hills and trekking through lush tropical nature before standing before a majestic gush of water. Postcard perfect beaches are another major draw card for the bronzed youths who come to surf all day and descend on Kuta to party all night.

Tap into your spiritual side and book a week long yoga retreat in blissful Ubud and nourish your body with cheap, healthy eats in the main town. Just beware of those cheeky monkeys! Places like Canggu and Uluwatu attract digital nomads from all over the world whilst northern Bali offers some mighty fine views of the looming volcanoes.

Catch a fast boat out to Nusa Penida where you can hunt down a T-Rex and relax on gorgeous Diamond Beach. But we implore you to take care on this picturesque island. For those unfamiliar with two-wheeled motorised vehicles, think twice before renting a scooter on Nusa Penida – a good deal is probably not worth it and we’re speaking from our personal experience!

With over 17,000 islands, we’ve barely scratched Indonesia’s surface. Perhaps one day, we will find ourselves there again.
