I have a love hate relationship with you and your channel. I love all the new place you add to my bucket list. I hate that I can’t decide which location to visit first. Your videos are truly first class. Thank you.

In fact, there are many beautiful beaches in Senggigi, but many are hidden and rarely known by outsiders except the people of Lombok.

Great to see Sengigi again. I've spent a mid week there in febr '20. All westerners (werent that many) and me, wondering if we could go back to office once we got home. Nobody could've guessed..... Lombok was still rebuilding after the Earthquake. Great to see it buzzing!

The Gili's are a fab spot. Lombok looks awesome :)

Look at that sea water turquoise color! Look at that amazing sunset! Ough Muuayyy Goaaadd!!

i also love rideing a bike in senggigi the view from the street down to the beach 😎👍👍

Beautiful, loved the first place due to the fact that there are no motor vehicles 🍺🍺👍

If you have plans to go to Lombok again, try going to the central part of Lombok, more precisely in Mandalika, there are many beautiful beaches such as Selong Belanak Beach, Tanjung Aan Beach, Seger Beach, Mawun Beach, Kuta Beach and Mawi Beach.

For sure got a KC vibe (topography, chill factor, beaches) from N/W areas of Lombok. Down South it's more like Caribbean white sands and turquoise waters (as we'll see next)

That untouched turquoise water and epic sunsets!! 😍 I’m in!! 😅

Lombok is my dream place to live

Dude, what a life! That is amazing travels!

bali and lombok is like twinn different mom 😀

If you have money of course.

if you have time try to visit Kei Island in Maluku, there are many beautiful beaches with blue water and fine white sand, the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra are also very beautiful, the Mentawai Islands are perfect for surfing, and there is also Sombori Island in Central Sulawesi Island, this is almost similar to palawan in the philippines but maybe not as beautiful as in palawan

just wow on that sunset, i think that might actually be better than my profile shot

I quickly made a return (12th) trip to Lombok the moment the local govt announced that international travelers didn't need to perform and produce covid pcr test results back in 2022. The best thing was hotel rates were so unbelievably low that I ended up staying for 5 weeks instead of my usual 2. Stayed in Jeeva Klui for 2 weeks and then Katamaran Resort for another three. Truly it was one of my best post covid vacays. Can't wait to go back there again soon and as always, your vlogs are fantastic! Keep 'em coming!

Waow amazing

I went to Lombok a few years ago and planning to go there again. I did stay at the Sheraton in Senggigi and I agree that the beaches in Senggigi and Nipah are beautiful. I did the same viewpoints as you did basically. But South Lombok beaches like Mawun, Kuta (not the crappy one in Bali), Tanjung Aan, and Selong Belanak are better IMO. I did the Gili Islands as day trips from Bali and again from Lombok. Personally I preferred Lombok over Bali. Remember, Gili Islands is actually part of Lombok region

Hey Brent, note many fellow Canucks also still use 'U' in colour etc and 'S' in place of 'Z' (pronounced 'ZED' eh;) Btw, calling a spade a spade may be Greek to many, at least according to Wiki: "The idiom originates in the classical Greek of Plutarch's Apophthegmata Laconica, and was introduced into the English language in 1542 in Nicolas Udall's translation of the Apophthegmes, where Erasmus had seemingly replaced Plutarch's images of "trough" and "fig" with the more familiar "spade".

Sounds like a GREAT project idea! There's a fantastic UK series on Discovery Channel called 'Vintage Voltage' (have a google to see). My 2 fav electrofits so far have been a Land Rover and MG Midget. Willys electric would be pretty cool too! As much as I LOVE esp classic cars, maintaining avg 2000+ moving parts on a petrol/ICE car, vs 20 moving parts on an electric car is a no brainer. Having said that, we'll need oil/gas for some time to come, so we also need an actual transition plan for both. Btw, any interested, here's my EV vid: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rKOXpdynfJqpcbQ.html

Hi. internet in hotels is always hit n.miss depending on time of day, how many are using same node etc. Having said that internet on Lombok appears fairly good & fast enough for zoom etc. However, I got a sim card and use it whenever a hotel wifi signal is weak etc (also use it on the beach, wherever). Telkomsel has best coverage. Here's some packages examples: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2aZxqV-eqzbd8Y.html EDIT TO ADD: I'll be looking at various longer term rental options on Lombok upcoming, stay tuned...
