Dream today - travel tomorrow
The world may be in lockdown but that won’t stop us from travelling in our imaginations. In this newsletter we’re bringing the tropical islands of Bali and Lombok to you - offering an escape from reality and hopefully inspiring you to plan your future bucket list adventures.
The mere mention of Bali evokes thoughts of white beaches, cascading rice fields, crumbling monuments, ancient spirituality, rich culture and genuinely warm people.
Meanwhile, Lombok, Bali’s sleepy sister, is also blessed with beautiful beaches along with unspoiled nature, jungle-clad mountains and indigenous Sasak traditions.
