00:08We're off to Indonesia today, one of the most naturally beautiful and culturally rich places
00:12on the planet.
00:13Big shout out to Garuda Indonesia for sponsoring part of this trip.
00:18From the white sand beaches of Bali to the misty volcanic peaks of Mount Bromo, Indonesia
00:23is a feast for the eyes.
00:25We're diving into the turquoise waters of Raja Ampat, coming face to face with Komodo
00:29dragons, and exploring ancient temples.
00:32This isn't just a top 10 list, it's about experiencing the heart and soul of Indonesia,
00:36so buckle up because things are about to get awesome.
00:40Alright, let's kick things off in Bali, a place that needs no introduction.
00:46Picture this, white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and the sound of waves crashing against
00:52the shore.
00:53But Bali is more than just a pretty face.
00:55It's got this vibrant culture, a spiritual heart that you can feel everywhere you go.
01:00We're talking ancient temples, traditional dances, and some of the friendliest people
01:03you'll ever meet.
01:04We spent our days surfing some of the best waves in the world, exploring hidden waterfalls,
01:08and soaking up the sun.
01:11And the sunsets?
01:12Don't even get me started.
01:14Bali is like a dream you don't want to wake up from.
01:16It's a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty and find yourself at the same time.
01:21Trust me, you need Bali in your life.
01:27Next up, we're heading off the beaten path to Raja Ampat, a remote archipelago that's
01:32home to some of the most incredible marine biodiversity on the planet.
01:38Imagine diving into crystal clear waters and being surrounded by thousands of colorful
01:42fish, sharks, manta rays, you name it.
01:45It's like swimming in a real life aquarium.
01:47Raja Ampat is a diver's paradise, but even if you're not a scuba enthusiast, you can
01:52still appreciate the beauty of this place.
01:55We're talking about lush jungles, hidden lagoons, and towering limestone islands that rise out
02:00of the ocean like something out of a movie.
02:03This is a place where you can truly disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature.
02:07It's raw, it's untouched, and it's absolutely breathtaking.
02:12Okay, get ready for this because we're heading to Komodo National Park, home to the legendary
02:19Komodo dragon.
02:21These guys are like something out of Jurassic Park massive lizards that can grow up to 10
02:25feet long.
02:26We had a chance to see them up close and personal, from a safe distance of course.
02:31And let me tell you, it was an experience I'll never forget.
02:34They are absolutely mesmerizing.
02:36But Komodo is more than just dragons.
02:39The landscapes here are out of this world.
02:41Think rugged volcanic peaks, savannas, and pristine beaches.
02:46We're talking about hiking up to panoramic viewpoints, snorkeling in crystal clear waters,
02:50and witnessing some of the most incredible sunsets you've ever seen.
02:54If you're looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure, Komodo Island needs to be on your
02:58radar.
03:02Get ready to step back in time as we explore Yogyakarta, the cultural soul of Java.
03:08This place is steeped in history and tradition.
03:10We're talking about ancient temples like Borobudur and Prambanan, which are some of the most
03:14impressive archaeological sites in Southeast Asia.
03:17Imagine walking through these massive stone structures, adorned with intricate carvings
03:22that tell stories of ancient myths and legends.
03:25But Yogyakarta is also a modern city with a vibrant arts scene, delicious food, and
03:30friendly locals who are always happy to share their culture with visitors.
03:34We spent our days exploring bustling markets, watching traditional shadow puppet shows,
03:40and trying all sorts of amazing street food.
03:46Hold on tight because we're about to witness the raw power of nature at Bromo Tengger Samaritan
03:50National Park.
03:52Imagine this, waking up at 3am, hiking up a volcano in the pitch black, and then watching
03:57as the sun rises over a landscape that looks like it's from another planet.
04:02We're talking about volcanic craters, smoking cones, and vast plains of volcanic sand that
04:07stretch as far as the eye can see.
04:09It's a surreal and unforgettable experience.
04:12You can feel the energy of the earth here, raw and untamed.
04:17It's a reminder of the power of nature and the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected
04:22places.
04:26Just a stone's throw from Bali, you'll find Lombok, an island paradise that often gets
04:30overlooked.
04:31But trust me, this place is a hidden gem.
04:33We're talking about pristine beaches with crystal clear waters that are perfect for
04:37swimming, snorkeling, and diving.
04:40And for the adventurers out there, Lombok is home to Mount Rinjani, an active volcano
04:45that offers challenging hikes and breathtaking views.
04:48But Lombok is also about slowing down, relaxing on the beach, and soaking up the laid back
04:53vibes.
04:54It's a place where you can escape the crowds and reconnect with nature.
05:01Buckle up because we're heading to Flores, an island that's still relatively undiscovered.
05:06This place is like stepping back in time.
05:09We're talking about traditional villages where life moves at a slower pace, stunning volcanic
05:14lakes that change color throughout the day, and some of the most incredible diving and
05:18snorkeling in Indonesia.
05:20One of the highlights of Flores is Kelimutu Volcano, which has three crater lakes, each
05:25with a different color.
05:26It's a natural wonder that you have to see to believe.
05:29Flores is a place where you can truly get off the beaten path and experience the authentic
05:34side of Indonesia.
05:38Get ready to experience a culture unlike any other in Tanah Taraja, a mountainous region
05:43in South Sulawesi.
05:44This place is known for its unique funeral rites and traditional houses shaped like boats.
05:49We're talking about elaborate ceremonies that can last for days with music, dancing, and
05:53even buffalo sacrifices.
05:55It's a fascinating and sometimes confronting glimpse into a culture that's very different
06:00from our own.
06:01But Tanah Taraja is also a place of stunning natural beauty.
06:05We're talking about lush green rice terraces, towering limestone cliffs, and traditional
06:09villages perched on hillsides.
06:12It's a place where ancient traditions meet breathtaking landscapes.
06:18Looking for a little island-hopping adventure?
06:20Then look no further than the Gili Islands, three tiny islands just off the coast of Lombok.
06:26Each island has its own unique vibe.
06:28Gili Trawangan is the party island, with beach bars and clubs that stay open until late.
06:34Gili Meno is the smallest and most peaceful of the three, perfect for a romantic getaway.
06:39And Gili Air offers a good mix of both, with beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and
06:45a more laid-back atmosphere.
06:48We spent our days swimming with turtles, swinging in hammocks over the ocean, and partying
06:52the night away under the stars.
06:57Last but not least, we're ending our journey in Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali.
07:01This place is all about finding your zen.
07:04We're talking about lush green rice terraces, yoga retreats, meditation centers, and healthy
07:08cafes serving up delicious vegetarian food.
07:13But Ubud is also a great place to experience Balinese art and culture.
07:17We're talking about traditional dance performances, art galleries, and craft workshops.
07:22It's the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect
07:27with yourself.
07:31So there you have it, folks.
07:32Indonesia, you were amazing.
07:34From the beaches to the volcanoes, the culture to the people, this country blew me away.
07:39I'm already planning my next trip back, and if you haven't been, what are you waiting
