☀︎ We were told that it rarely rains on Gili Air...but as we finished a quick snorkel and had planned to enjoy the sunset on the beach, it began to pour on us! ☂︎ We were already soaked from being in the water, so we just embraced it. We found a nearby beach bar with some cheap happy hour drinks, and enjoyed our rainy sunset right on the beach. This picture is our reminder to make the most of whatever life throws at us and it’s now one of our favourites ♥︎ . . . #WhirlwindTravellers #GiliAir #Indonesia #thewanderingtourist #wearebackpackers #backpackersintheworld #southeastasia #beautifulseasia #travelsoutheastasia #travelIndonesia #travelcouple #yourtravelcouples #couplestravelgoals #togetherwetravel #wanderintwo #twoticketstoanywhere #globecouples #GiliIslands #couples2go #allaboutadventures #passionpassport #darlingescapes #creativetravelcouples #getlostnow #mapiful

☀︎ Did you know that there’s more than one pink beach in Komodo National Park? We were so lucky to have this one to ourselves! And yes, it’s actually pink! . . No, we didn’t book a private tour (we are budget travellers lol), we took a day trip that hit 6 KNP destinations in one day, and this specific cruise company took us to a lesser known beach on Padar Island (as opposed to the pink beach on Komodo Island). . . Our Tip: Each new day that you enter the park, you must pay an entrance fee of 300 -350 000 IDR (over $30 CAD). Be prepared for this daily cost, try choosing a single day trip (like we did), or choose a multi-day trip that hits destinations outside the park on the other days! . . . #WhirlwindTravellers #Indonesia #KomodoNationalPark #komodoisland #pinkbeach #travelIndonesia #southeastasia #beautifulseasia #southeastasiatravel #globewanderess #thewanderingtourist #explorerbabes #wanderwomeninc #girlsjustwannatravel #travelwomen #wearetravelgirls #travelgirlsgo #travellikeagirl #backpackersintheworks #wearebackpackers #getlostnow #sheisnotlost #darlingescapes #nomadgirls #girlsthatwander

If you haven’t seen from our insta stories, we’ve moved on from Myanmar to Indonesia! We spent our first few days exploring Komodo National Park, and there is definitely way more to see than just Komodo dragons in case you were wondering. This is Padar Island, which boasts this beautiful view as well as a PINK sand beach! ✨ . . ☀️The crazy thing about this hike was that we started it at 7:00 am and it was already sweltering hot! So here’s our very sweaty, smiley, squinty photo for you, because we’re proud! . . . #WhirlwindTravellers #wearebackpackers #backpackersintheworld #couplestravelgoals #travelcouples #yourtravelcouples #creativetravelcouples #globecouples #couples2go #cutecouples #togetherwetravel #indonesia #beautifulseasia #southeastasia #komodo #komodonationalpark #labuanbajo #travelseasia #nomadiclife #nomadlife #nomadtravels #passionpassport #darlingescapes #wanderlustcouple

NEW POST ▸ The most up to date info on accessible temples for seeing the sunrise in Bagan! ↡ As recently as OCTOBER 2018, many temples have been closed due to safety and preservation. We always strive to be respectful, and therefore only went to temples that were still open to the public. ↡ We actually checked the temples we heard about in our research, and now have first hand confirmation of which ones are still open! ✨ ↡ We are sharing EVERY temple we went to for sunrise and sunset including the ones that had almost NO TOURISTS! ✨☺️ . . . LINK in bio for... ▸ exact GPS and map locations of all temples (using maps.me) ▸ which one had only about 8-12 people there for sunrise (our fave) ▸ how to plan out your perfect sunrise morning ▸ pictures of the view from the different temples ✨And so much more! Special thanks to @mochilamonkeys for giving us a lead to one of the temples ✨ . . . #WhirlwindTravellers #Myanmar #Bagan #BaganMyanmar #SouthEastAsia #beautifulseasia #seasia #asia #thewanderingtourist #getlostnow #earth_deluxe #passionpassport #wearetravelgirls #darlingescapes #sheisnotlost #wanderwomeninc #thetravelwomen #travelgirlsgo #wearebackpackers #backackersintheworld #globecouples #creativetravelcouples #backpackerlife #bestsunrise #hotairballoons #femmetravel

✧ We’ve always been lucky on our past travels but it seemed to run out a bit in Myanmar. We’ve had some bruises, cuts, stings, bites, a poisonous snake encounter and a small bike accident (we’re okay!) over the past two weeks. It’s always hard starting off a long trip in a new country, and when that country beats you up a little bit, it doesn’t make it any easier. . . ✨But, that’s the thing about travelling; it’s not all going to be perfect moments. Things happen, and Myanmar has been challenging us every day. However, with that challenge comes beautiful views, the friendliest local people we’ve ever met and moments like this sunset. And we thank Myanmar for all the new experiences it’s given us, both amazing and hard. It’s always worth it to us to keep pushing forward and learning all that we can. . . #WhirlwindTravellers #mapiful #wearebackpackers #travelcouplegoals #travelcouples #creativetravelcouples #couples2go #globecouples #globetrottingcouples #thewanderingtourist #nomadcouples #couplegoals #backpackersintheworld #coupletravel #coupleswhotravel #worldnomads #nomadlife #backpackerlife #cutetravelcouples #bestsunsetpics #sunsets #togetherwetravel #twoticketstoanywhere #wanderintwo #getlostnow #Myanmar #Bagan #Anicenttemples

“Life is not measured by the breath you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.” 🎈 A cheesy quote but one we always get reminded of in moments like this one. 🌅 Watching the sun rise over the temples of Bagan as hot air balloons speckled the sky was magical to say the least! ✨ . . . ✨What was a moment recently that took your breath away? ↡We’d love to be inspired! ✨ . . . #wearebackpackers #travelcouplegoals #thewanderingtourist #WhirlwindTravellers #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #darlingescapes #Bagan #myanmar #hotairballoons #mapiful #takemybreathaway #wearetravelgirls #wetravelgirls #dametravels #girlswhotravel #womentravel #backpackersintheworld #backpackerlife #creativetravelcouples #travelsecrets #traveltips #wanderingartist #travelandcreate #sunrise #nomadgirls #wanderwomeninc #girlsjustwannatrabel #travellikeagirl
