Solo travel

I loved being in Lombok. It was safe, respectful and so worldly. Surfing was so fun and everyone was just so friendly and wanting to socialize. It was a great digital nomad community. I felt some amazing friends I will keep for life.

Group travel

We travelled in a 3 people (women) group. We stayed in a hotel with a pool and breakfast included for 10€ per night /person. We had a great experience, we rented scooters to see more of the island and we also took a snokling tour to the three gili islands. Based on my experience I recommend it if you’re in Indonesia, stay a couple of days there to relax.
