Pink Beach of Lombok

The sands looks slightly reddish, a mixture of fragments of coral reefs



I read an article about this place from a website, Pure Wow, Lombok Island is one of the safest for ‘women solo traveler’, in addition to Japan, Singapore, Slovenia, and Laos.


The beach is just one of the many beaches on the island of Lombok, each with its uniqueness. So I present to one of its beaches, located in east part of the island.


Another surprise is their culinary, especially the super spicy grilled chicken. You're going to scream!

They, the traveler can enjoy, while taking the time to go to the Temple of Wat Arun with approximately 80 meter-high pagoda, at a tempting afternoon.


Attractive offer while enjoying a buffet on the river, along the dim light reflected off the river.

Sure, we've been here, direct views of the beach with the thump of rap music filled the room. A place in the southern part of Bali, while drinking Caprioska.

Always present a different feeling, in this place and traveling around the region, a mixture of traditional and modern atmosphere, even until the food was a Western and Eastern cuisine, I feel the taste of Mediterranean culinary.

Tanah Lot

The uniqueness of the two temples perched on the rocks of Beraban Beach



We are here*, where are trusted by local people as a sacred place, temples ("pura" in locals) are situated on a large stone and another one is on top of a cliff leading towards the sea.

A sacred place of Hindus who had been kept a mystery.


People around me, hurrying as if to blend with religious atmosphere, certainly in the crowd combined with the natural panorama.

In the midst of greenery Ubud

A quiet rural nature in the eastern region of the island



When I arrived at this place, do not expect the atmosphere so quiet, only the sound of birds, grass swaying in the wind along with the morning mist, vast rice fields in sight.

They say this place has been known for a long time, as a center of art and culture, closeness to nature, spiritual, but I have not run away.


Maybe I'll rent a bike, across the rice paddies around me, looking for a culinary Morang Rice, or perhaps duck specialties of Bali.
