Indonesia
This fascinating archipelago in South East Asia has more islands than anyone could possibly count.. quite literally! Every single year, the number of known Indonesia islands grows larger and larger. New, exciting, breathtaking and undiscovered communities, waterfalls, jungles and mountains lie waiting for you throughout the third most populated country in the world.
We visited the paradise of Indonesia for the first time in 2019, spending two months on the Bali and Lombok islands. During this time, we chased more waterfalls, climbed more mountains, saw more sunrises and drank to more sunsets than we ever thought possible. It is quite literally heaven. Book your trip now!

After our late arrival into Seminyak last night, it is time to get out and explore its busy, bustling streets. A quick hunt for our new SIM cards and then off to find some breakfast!
The #truthaboutSeminyak is, although Seminyak's main streets are tourist traps, by walking just 15 minutes away from the hustle and bustle, you can find food for a quarter of the price. It's time to find Seminyak's #cheapesteats!
We also get treated to some of Asia's famous rainy season weather...

The time has come for our long-anticipated, island-hopping, sunset-chasing, jungle trekking, Topdeck Tours group trip around the Bali! We check out early from our house and meet up with the crew to head to the Lembongan island reefs.
Time for our first snorkel trip in like.. FOREVER! We are seriously excited to get back in the water, after about 2 years without a snorkel mask.
We then head to THE FANCIEST hotel we have ever stayed at; bags sent to our rooms, villa doors opening onto an infinity pool. Is it okay to forget that we are budget backpackers for the day?!

If there is one thing in this world that EVERY #budgetbackpacker fears in this world, it is extra charges for baggage..
You pay for your #flights, book your accommodation and get planning your next #epicadventure, only to realise baggage is the same price as it all combined!
Well we took a stand a couple of years back, decided to ditch the excess weight and pack as light as we could. Our trip to #Bali was no different!
For our two month trip to #Indonesia, we took nothing but one #carryon bag each. With EVERYTHING we could possibly need inside. Here is our guide to what we took for two months in Bali, and our advice on how you can do the same.
