Indonesia

I am a chronic traveller. You might find me in the cockpit of a sea kayak, hiking a backcountry trail, riding a wave, cycling single-track or riding a motorcycle on another adventure. 

Surf Sumatra
 
Well off the beaten path, West Lampung, Sumatra, offers plenty of world-class surf. In peak season, the waves around Krui are big and powerful. There are a dozen breaks within a 30-minute motorcycle ride, and others further afield. They are gaining recognition, and rightly so. Off-season is more my size, and even at that time of year, there was plenty of power to knock us about.  In February 2011, I was joined by nephew Matt to ride some waves and get a taste of the local culture.  We discovered a warm and welcoming community.

Beautiful Bali

 

Bali has been a popular destination for decades, although it is becoming overly touristic and crowded. Some who come never leave, others return frequently. Whether a relaxing seaside vacation, world-class surfing, or to explore the lush tropical jungles of the interior, Bali offers a diverse experience. In 2006, I spent a month criss-crossing the island and found friendly and welcoming folk everywhere. It is easy to get around the island and accommodation is everywhere, with a range to suit any budget.
