Before I went to Bali for the first time, many years ago, I believed that the island was a town located in Indonesia. It turns out that the island of Bali is made up of a number of different communities, each of which is unique and different from the others. Each of these settlements has […]

To begin, some fundamentals: Gili Trawangan, sometimes referred to as simply Gili T, is the biggest of the three islands that make up the Gili archipelago, which is situated just off the northwest coast of Lombok. Gili Meno and Gili Air are the names of the other two islands. Gili Trawangan has developed into somewhat […]

A recent conversation I had with a buddy revealed that he had some unscheduled time off coming up, and the two of us decided that we should take advantage of it together. We deliberated about how and where to spend them to get the most value out of them. Because he dislikes going to the […]

The name “The Triangle” refers to the geographic formation that this island, together with Pico and So Jorge, its two nearest neighbors, makes up. It is generally agreed that Faial is the westernmost point in Europe. This is […]
