Indonesia - Lombok - Kuta

Paradise found... and then it bit us.

We’ve officially touched down in country number four: the stunning Indonesian island of Lombok. After the sensory overload of Bangkok, this island is exactly what Divina ordered.

This week, we explore why Lombok has stolen our hearts. We talk about the locals—the friendliest we’ve encountered yet—and the persistent, charming children who are the island's most determined salespeople. We spent our days on a "greatest hits" tour of the coastline, hitting a different, world-class beach every single day.

But it wasn't all slow living. We swapped the sand for the smell of burning rubber at the MotoGP, watching motorcycles fly around the track in a blur of speed and adrenaline.

However, an adventure wouldn't be an adventure without a crisis. The trip took a sharp turn when Russell got bitten by a dog, sending us on an urgent, day-long quest across the island for the right rabies vaccine. It’s the ultimate reality check in the middle of paradise.

We threw away the map and handed the compass to Divina. Hit subscribe to join us for a story about island bliss, high-speed racing, and why you should always check the local medical facilities! Follow on Instagram @Exceptional Decisions
