One of our favey spots on our travels, the stunning Gili Trawangan! The island isΒ a few hours boat ride and a world awayΒ from society, with just horseback and bicycles lining the streets.. a world away from the scooter spilling streets in the more built up areas of Bali! We definitely wish we could have stayed longer to further explore the surrounding Gili Islands, but were lucky enough to swim and snorkel with beautiful giant turtles and hundreds of tropical fishies during our short stay, literally just off the beach! We would definitely recommend the Kupu Kupu Treehouse which we booked through Airbnb! Absolute paradiiiiise.

There Goes Gerald Today is Earth Day and I thought Iβd try and draw some attention to the plight of small island nations that are struggling with the effects of climate change, from Polynesia to the Maldives to the Solomon Islands and yes, even Singapore. A lot of people think climate change is coming. The truth is, itβs already here. Small island nations in particular feel its effects every day β effects such as the loss of coastal land, salinification of freshwater, acidification of seawater, increasingly frequent storms and worsening droughts, and loss of biodiversity. It threatens the very survival of the inhabitants, their way of life, their food and water sources, and their culture. Unfortunately, many small island nations have low populations and no money to protect their islands or to move their people off the islands. Their future is pretty grim if change doesnβt happen right now. Send this to someone or talk to your kids about this. Then find out more about climate change and what we can do to change it! #EarthDay2020 #EarthDay #smallisland #climagechange #climateaction #globalwarming #risingsealevels #climatecrisis #climaterefugees #Connect2Earth #EasterIsland #Maldives #Polynesia #ChangeClimateChange (at Easter Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_SLpBcH-AH/?igshid=52a1f130y5f

The most beautiful islands in the Celebes Sea-Pulau Sibuan, Sabah.
Sibuan Island is said to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Celebes Sea. Beside the island Β Sibuan Bodgaya, Boheydulang, Tetagan, Sebangkat, Selakan, Maiga and Mantabuan. To reach Sibuan Island, I took an Asian Airlines flight to the coastal city of Tawau. From Tawau Airport, my friend and I took a taxi (about RM100+) to Semporna Village, a 1.5-hour tour of the endless palm oil plantation.
To getting to the place first you must get yourself to the Sempurna Jetty. But it was just a cloudy day, so I was afraid that the waves were too big to sail. Boats at the port of Semporna travel to the nearby tropical islands. It takes approximately 40 minutes to get to Sibuan by speed boat.
Soon, I arrived at the end! I was stunned by the scenery in front of me! This is the first time I have seen such a clear combination of clear water and blue sky!
A visit to Sibuan Island is usually part of a day trip from one of the other islands (like Mataking), or part of a day trip from Semporna (at Sabah's southeast coast). Sibuan is especially great for swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling and sun bathing. But don't forget to bring enough sunscreen, water and snacks with you when you visit the island. This is because my bro forgot to preprare the sunblock then directly enjoyed the sun bath!!
