People tend to get lost on Gili Trawangan, they come for a few days and stay a lot longer than planned. It’s a small island located near Bali in Indonesia. You can bike around it in an hour or so (it takes longer if your tyre pops and you have to walk through the undeveloped middle of the island). It’s one of the most beautiful places in the world to snorkel, dive, and relax on the beach. When I think of paradise, Gili Trawangan comes to mind. I know I’ll be back there someday.
Where in the world is your favourite island?
What wonderful pictures! For me they capture the spirit of travelling well.
Thanks Spencer! I’ll be updating my “postcards from” one a week, so check back for more = )
love it!!!… i’m Indonesian and went to Gili once for 3d/2n but seems not enough. great for relaxing time, an escape of your packed working days.
wish for the next trip there with friends and/or familiy. gorgeous beach!!
Oh wow, where in Indonesia do you live? I loved it there – it’s so big though I completely underestimated the size of it. Yes! Gili would be the perfect place to go with a group of friends, or a special someone 🙂 Can’t wait to make it back someday. Thanks for your comment =)
This is my home, paradise lost… <3
Thank you for sharing it with me! I loved it 🙂

I fell in love with the Gilis almost immediately, before I even stepped off the boat from Bali. Due to scheduling errors we only had two nights there but I know I’ll definitely return! Paradise indeed.
[…] A little part of me wants to save up a lot of money, move to Ubud, rent out a nice little bungalow and attend yoga classes daily, work on my photography and just chill out for a few months. There’s not a huge amount to do in Ubud, but it’s just so relaxing and the natural beauty is stunning. I’d probably end up wearing temple trousers every day, losing track of what month it was and never looking at a watch – ah, sounds ridiculously amazing, doesn’t it? I feel like sometimes we get too caught up in the day to day of keeping up with the Jones’ both in terms of possessions and now in terms of social media, too. It’d be so great to drag one of my favourite people along to Ubud and to just chill out and explore. Of course, there would be the odd weekend trip to one of my favourite islands, Gili T. […]
