Day 136: 3am is not my favorite time to wake up, but I've slept less for worse. . Our morning started with our guide telling us there's a slim chance we wouldn't be able to go to Borobudur because of volcanic activity nearby. Totally normal. . The volcano didn't erupt today, and we got to explore the world's largest Buddhist monument. . Construction started in 825 AD, but it wasn't until the 1800s that the complex drew international attention. Today, 2.5 million tourists visit annually, making Borobudur Indonesia's biggest tourist attraction. . #exploreIndonesia #wonderfulindonesia #travelblogger #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travel #womenwhoexplore #beautifuldestinations #gltlove #adventure #lifeontheroad #aroundtheworld #travelpics #femaletravelbloggers #thetravelnova #worldnomads #relationshipgoals #travelcouple #coupleswhoexplore #timeoutsociety #traveleroftheweek #explore #destinationearth #exploremore #indonesia #Borobudur #sunrise

Day 135: Our hotel in #Yogyakarta has the prettiest water castle-inspired pool! . Tim caught this shot of me while at the pool today. Normally, I don't love candid pictures of me. I look cute at best, and am normally making some kind of weird face (check out my Insta story for proof!). But, I think in this one I actually look kind of hot? I think it's OK for me to say that without sounding arrogant right? Really we should all always feel entitled to celebrating ourselves, whether it's as little as a single photo or as big as graduating college. Too often we are taught that it's more polite to be self-critical, but I think we should get in the habit of sharing more freely what we love about ourselves! . What about you? What's something you can brag on about yourself? Don't worry about sounding conceited! Leave a comment! . #indonesia #exploreIndonesia #wonderfulindonesia #selflove #travelblogger #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travel #womenwhoexplore #beautifuldestinations #gltlove #adventure #aroundtheworld #travelpics #femaletravelbloggers #thetravelnova #worldnomads #relationshipgoals #travelcouple #coupleswhoexplore #timeoutsociety #traveleroftheweek #luxury #poolgoals

Day 133: Batu Karas, Indonesia . Today we tried something new - body rafting. A mix between canyoning, white water rafting, hiking and swimming, body rafting really just means wearing a life jacket and a helmet and floating down the river! . During the dry season, visitors and locals alike will body raft through the Green Canyon. The trip starts with a bumpy ride in the back of a pick up truck to a high point on the river. After a short hike, you get in the water and off you go! Far from relaxing, the activity requires a lot of climbing, jumping and swimming. Along the way we saw a huge monitor lizard who slithered into the water at lightening speed, a million crabs smaller than my thumb nail, and a rock pit full of maggots and bat guano. This is not for the squeamish. . The stunning scenery and moments of peaceful drifting on your back more than make up for the challenges. Even better, this canyon is way off the international tourist trail - I can't even find a website describing the tour in English, and everyone else in our group was local to Indonesia! . #wonderfulindonesia #exploreIndonesia #indonesia #travelblogger #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #backpacker #travel #womenwhoexplore #beautifuldestinations #gltlove #adventure #lifeontheroad #aroundtheworld #travelpics #femaletravelbloggers #worldnomads #relationshipgoals #travelcouple #coupleswhoexplore #traveleroftheweek #hike #explore #optoutside #getoutside #nature #destinationearth #activetravel #exploremore

Day 130: We left the busy city of Bandung behind to head south to Kawah Putih, aka the White Lake. . This volcanic crater lake is highly acidic and sulfuric, which is what gives it its milky color. The strong smell meant we had to wear face masks most of the time there. . Don't worry, though, it's one of the more stable volcanoes in Indonesia! 🏔️ . #wonderfulindonesia #indonesia #volcano #lake #travelblogger #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travel #womenwhoexplore #beautifuldestinations #gltlove #aroundtheworld #travelpics #femaletravelbloggers #thetravelnova #worldnomads #relationshipgoals #travelcouple #coupleswhoexplore #timeoutsociety #traveleroftheweek #explore #getoutside #nature #destinationearth #activetravel #exploremore

Day 129: We have to say goodbye to Singapore! We honestly don't want to leave, but we are excited to see what Indonesia has in store for us!! . If you visit Singapore, the Little India neighborhood is an amazing place to stay. It's right on the metro line, walkable to the Bayside, has the best food and is not overrun by fancy hotels and tourists. I can't recommend it highly enough!! . #singapore #singaporetravel #littleindia #travelblogger #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #backpacker #backpacking #travel #womenwhoexplore #beautifuldestinations #gltlove #adventure #lifeontheroad #aroundtheworld #travelpics #femaletravelbloggers #thetravelnova #worldnomads #timeoutsociety #traveleroftheweek #explore #destinationearth #exploremore

Day 128: Gardens by the Bay totally wowed us this evening. Like many people, we'd seen pictures of the iconic metal trees but were shocked by just how massive the gardens are. The entire area is a hyper modern complex where hotels, restaurants and shops are embedded within expansive green space. . #singapore #gardensbythebay #singaporetravel #travelblogger #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #backpacker #travel #womenwhoexplore #beautifuldestinations #gltlove #adventure #lifeontheroad #aroundtheworld #travelpics #femaletravelbloggers #thetravelnova #worldnomads #relationshipgoals #travelcouple #coupleswhoexplore #timeoutsociety #traveleroftheweek #explore #getoutside #destinationearth #activetravel #exploremore #earthporn
