I spent a few weeks traveling through Bali and Lombok and this trip was amazing. I have done a lot of fun things, have seen beautiful things and met very interesting people. So I’ve definitely enclosed these two islands in my heart. Except for the fact it was all a lot of fun, during the solo trip to Bali and Lombok I learned some things about myself.
No, this is not a blog about the whole trip of discovering myself because I was not on Bali for that. But just little facts and things that I noticed during this trip. Things that I actually didn’t even know I could enjoy or things I forgot I enjoyed. What did I learned from my solo trip to Bali and Lombok?

Tip
A great place to start your trip is Ubud. There are many great places to stay in Ubud. But the best is to look for a hotel which is a bit quiet and with a great swimmingpool. I have spend a few night in the Hotel Ubud Terrace and I loved it! Large and clean room, friendly staff and for the price this hotel was excellent. And a great swimming pool!
