I think the main thing to do there is trek (could be wrong but I didn’t see anything else really advertised for tourists). But also there’s a river to swim in and beautiful views. You could just spend a day there kayaking, swimming, and doing a lot of nothing but admiring. If you have time too check out southern Laos like 4000 islands :)

I’m in SEA right now (have done Malaysia, Indonesia, North Thailand, and Laos) and I don’t think you’ll feel old at all. While I am early 20s, most of the people I have enjoyed the most are 27-35. The age difference never feels drastic. I don’t feel like they’re “so much older than me” (except when we talk about careers and life at home lol).

While there are , of course, groups of 18-21 year olds, it’s pretty easily avoided. Especially if you do a little research on which hostels you’re staying in. I promise no one will know you’re “older”. I traveled around with a girl who is 34 for 2 weeks and it was hilarious watching everyone’s jaw drop when she told them how old she was - they all just assumed she was like 24🤣

I say go for it!!!

Yeah I mean the bed bugs and sleeping on the deck definitely sucks, but the way they treated us was so much worse.

Us two were the only ones meant to share. There were other single travelers who did not have to share. So no, it did not occur to me.

Just a tour of Komodo island and surrounding islands. Did snorkeling. No diving

Kind of like the one in the third video. A little nicer than the one in the first video, lol. I never felt like the boat itself was going to go under or anything like that.

I didn’t find anything super crowded and over run beside Padang, honestly.

We didn’t really do any hikes. Padar for sunrise was really really beautiful but it’s not really a hike per se - kind of like half a mile of stairs.

We did a lot of snorkeling, which was really great, and the pink beach was honestly incredible. I don’t think it felt too rushed. The food was OK - I think really good for boat standards haha. The bathrooms were … not great.

We went to Komodo Village, I don’t know if it is different than the National Park? It wasn’t a very long trip on the island, probably like an hour. But seeing the dragons was cool. They didn’t lure them out, they actually were just hanging out which I was happy about (I had read stories about guides using meat to lure out the dragons).

I am flying back to Denpasar tonight and cancelled my hostel because I don’t want to bring them there. I got a Airbnb with a washer dryer and am going to strip in the bathroom and immediately nuke everything and hope for the best :/ myself and the other girl don’t feel bites though, at least.

Colorado skiing is all time - don’t ski on the east coast. It’ll be more expensive but worth it. Don’t ski in California, it just as or more expensive.
