Indonesia Travel Guides

Rice terraces, volcanic islands, and long stays in Bali

Indonesia keeps pulling me back — I’ve spent months based in Ubud, explored the coastline of Nusa Penida, watched Komodo dragons in the wild, and figured out the best co-working spots in Seminyak. These guides go beyond the Instagram version of Bali to share what daily life, local food, and off-the-beaten-path adventures actually look like here.

If you have extra time, don’t stop at Bali. Komodo National Park is one of Indonesia’s most unforgettable destinations and deserves a trip of its own, with world-class diving, incredible viewpoints and, of course, the famous Komodo dragons.
