Wow! What a journey these last three weeks through Indonesia have been. Love to all the awesome people that i have met along the way, I hope that I will run into you all somewhere along the road again! It has been truly refreshing to experience so many different cultures, religions, foods, values and ways of living. Although originally planned to be a surf trip and we did surf some perfect waves in breathtaking locations it was soo much more than that!

| First Surf at Gerupuk, Lombok |
Most of the time it it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere with names that I couldn't even pronounce and I think this is what excited me the most...not knowing where you might be from one day to the next!
 |
| Banana Homestays, Lombok What an awesome place, such good vibes and so many cool people! |
 |
| Surfing Outsides Lefts Gerupuk. Fun surf...with such clear water i could see parrotfish feeding off the reef below me whilst I sat on my surfboard waiting for a wave. |

| We all encountered sickness but this never had us down for more than a day...Malaria jokes were pretty funny when you weren't thew one sick haha |
After looking at a map of where we had travelled over the last three weeks I realised we had only hit the tip of the iceberg called the Indonesia and how this would become the first of many more adventures. I think I have learnt more about myself in the last three weeks than I have in the last three years and I can definitely say for me this trip was life changing. This trip has inspired me to travel and although I don't know where I want to go or how im going to get there, I do know that on the way to wherever my destination is I am going to do what makes me smile whether it be surfing, exploring, diving or just meeting new people!
