I highly recommend this boat trip if you like sailing, boat life and snorkeling!
4Days 3 Nights, it’s cheap and very well organized with all food included + snacks and drinking water, coffee and tea.
Boat trip from Flores to Lombok 
First Day 
1st stop was Rinca island and we went to Loh Buaya (Cocodrile Bay) for a little hiking.
We did 1h walk (medium walk)
You need a tour guide to visit the island.
You can see Komodo dragons, buffalos, monkeys and deers in this little island!
Then we went to Pink beach, we could do snorkeling and relax in the beach.
Last stop was Komodo Island, we did the short walk and it was a bit disappointing to be honest, we only saw one wild baby dragon.
While in the boat, we could see and swim with white plankton at night and next morning we could see blue plankton next to the boat. That was pretty cool! 

2nd day 
We woke up 4:30 in the morning to go to Padar Island. We walked up to the view point to see the wonderful sunrise and the awesome views! My favorite place in Indonesia 🇮🇩so far!!! 😍
Then we went to Manta point but we didn’t see any manta, we saw several turtles instead. 
Last stop was Gili Banta for snorkeling and relax on the beach, we had the whole beach and bay for us, fantastic!
Then we sailed for 17h, we saw lots of dolphins and they made a nice show, jumping and twisting in the air, we also watched the sunset from the boat and had dinner and drinks on the front deck. That was beautiful!
3rd Day
Next morning we woke up in Mojo island and went to the waterfall where we climbed up and spent some time at the beach after, collecting garbage, mainly plastic...
Next stop was in the middle of the ocean were we swam, did snorkeling and jumped from the boat.
Last stop was next to an island where they made a bonfire after watching the sunset from the boat and we had some drinks.
Next morning we climbed the little hill on the island to see the sunrise.
And the boat expedition got to end, from the pier we where transferred to our next destination!
The adventure continues...

Indonesia, a life-changing experience!

Image
Indonesia is special to me... After traveling several months, I can say it is my favorite country in SE Asia. Why? Because it has many good things, the first and best, the people in Bali, the kindest people I ever met, probably due to their culture/religion. I think karma is a good thing if it’s used properly. The landscapes are amazing... the wild cliffs with the the brave sea...it’s unbelievable! And my favorite view point of the whole trip is in Padar Island in Komodo National park, with magic SUNRISES!! The sea life is blowing minding...turtles, mantas, sharks, all sort of fishes... If you like hiking, there are plenty of volcanos with unforgettable sunrises & sunsets. Exquisite food! Something I love when traveling, taste different flavors!! Full of experiences, parties and obviously surf!!! My Indonesia Itinerary in 26 days: 5 Days in Kuta  4 Days on Wanua boat trip  2 Days in Gili Air  3 Days in Gili T 6 Days in Ubud  1 Day in Canggu

North Laos

Image
I took a whole package to cross the border from ChiangRai (Thailand) to Huay Xai (Laos), all transports included and the slow boat, it was a bit expensive but very easy and convenient for crossing the border. At the north from Huay Xai, I took the slow boat to Luang Prabang throught the Mekon river and stopped in Pak Beng. The experience was nice and the landscape,  it it was a bit long, 2 days on the boat, people spend most of their time reading. Tips: bring your own food/drinks and book your stay at Pak Beng when you arrive, it is much cheaper. At Pak Beng, the Indian Restaurants are very good. Other recommendations in the north: I have heard very good things about Gibbon experience and jungle trekking at Luang Namtha. Once in Luan Prabang, there are lots of hostels, you can use Booking.com Things to do Visit KuanSi waterfalls (better to go early in the morning) Walk to the top of the waterfall and if you continue walking few km you will find a very nice area to relax

Something you have to do once in life...you probably end up repeating! Keeloma Boat expedition from El Nido to Coron. We met at El Nido v an terminal at 7am in the morning and drove to Sibaltan where we took the boat. Day 1 First stop was Magransing Island with a sand bar where you could walk on it although tide was a bit high, we also did snorkeling and saw lots of fishes! Perfect place for a drone!!! We were the only ones in that island! We had lunch on the boat over looking at the secluded Tackling island, our second stop. Then we swam and relax on this remote island. We continued with the boat towards our next stop, cliff jumping at Doble nueve. After that we went to the campsite based at Patoyo island, where we had dinner and drinks before going to bed.
