Travel With Joyce K: Ultimate Trails and Adventure in Indonesia

Luxury!

In October of 2013, I traveled to Bali, one of the most exclusive and unique destinations in the world. Upon arrival to the new airport of Dempasar, I was overwhelmed by the beauty, tastes and smells of this island. Bali is the most famous of the islands in all of Indonesia. The blending of mountain scenery, the warmth of the people and beauty of the beaches make Bali a truly magical experience.

I was fortunate to experience the Bulgari Hotel. This resort blends high Italian style with traditional Balinese elements. The colorful vegetation and the blue serenity of the water lends to a spiritual experience.

Adventure!

Flores is an island blessed with places of stunning natural beauty. It Boasts a harmonious culture blended adventure in a natural setting. The chain of islands promises exploration amung the idyllic beaches. Culminating hiking along the less-traveled village roads of Komodo and Kelimutu National Parks

Experiencing Belaragi, a traditional village where we homestayed. The Village did not have electricity, but the villagers more than made up for the lack of modern facilities with their warm hospitality. We were honored with a special ceremony with blessings of the ancestors. A magical night of star gazing and storytelling took place.

The women of the village extended their traditional royal costume to me, its was an honor.

Komodo National Park, known for its population of the Komodo Dragon as well as wild pigs, buffalo and birds. Seeing these magnificent lizards in their natural environment, accommodating by a ranger is a memorable experience.
