Living my best life in colour
The Gili Islands really are my idea of a perfect travel destination.
Kathy Richardson
Adventurer
I am a 55 year old single woman who loves nothing better than an adventure. Road trips to nowhere. Wandering with my camera. Travelling and experiencing new cultures.
I discovered the Gili Islands when a friend, who knows me well, made the recommendation.
The beauty of the islands. The colours. The lack of motorised transport. The walkability (7500 steps to walk the circumference of the island!) The friendly people. And the affordability of the exceptional food and accommodation.
I am excited to share my travels with you.
