Joe Spins the Globe | The Gili Islands - Small island vibes close to Bali @JoeSpinstheGlobe | Uploaded January 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
So, unpopular opinion: I found out I don't like Bali. I stayed there 2 days and got tired of the crowds and traffic (in the offseason!) so I left a day early and went to the nearby island of Gili Trawangan. I'm loving it! It's a small, manageable island with tons of diving, beaches, and not many tourists right now. Had a great time.
