Sama Sama-One Of The Worst Places To Stay On Gili Trawangan
If you are looking for a place to stay on Gili Island, you have many options to choose from. I made the mistake of choosing Sama Sama. After all, Sama Sama means “You’re Welcome.” It would have been nice if there had been anything to thank them for. If you are looking for places to stay on Gili Trawangan, do not stay at Sama Sama. It was the worst place that I’ve every stayed, to the point that it became almost laughable. First of all, I didn’t realize when booking, that Sama Sama is really a reggae bar, and it was like, as an afterthought, they had the idea that…

Magnolia Joglos-Places To Stay In Ubud, Bali
The Magnolia Joglos are without a doubt, one of the places to stay before you die. In fact, it is such a heavenly place, that you will probably think you did die and go to Heaven. At least I did!!

Billy Pendawa Homestay-Kuta, Bali

It is located down a really cute gang or alley very close to the airport. It was nice staying with a local family. I felt very looked after and cared for.

Los Colibris Casitas
Todos Santos, Mexico was one of those charming places that captivated me the minute I arrived. If you stay at Los Colibris Casitas, you will never want to leave. I stayed in the La Chucha Casista and was captivated by the stunning view, the rooftop terrace, but more than anything by the genuine hospitality of Bryan and Sergio. In fact, it was staying here that made me want to open my own quaint little hotel and just maybe, one day, if I can stay in one place long enough, I will. They gave me all kinds of advice about where to eat and what to do while I was there.…

There are some places that you journey to, and once you arrive there, you realize that your whole journey and even your whole life was leading you there. This is the place you didn’t know you were looking for, the place that was calling your name, the reason why you journeyed down bumpy roads and across oceans to get to. When I arrived at Castaway Resort, I knew that I had found such a place. I try to look for the out of the way places on this earth, and when I first read about Koh Lipe Island, I was intrigued. When I started searching on the internet and saw…
