Searching for your next ultimate travel adventure isn´t easy right? Especially if you are looking for a remote paradise like a forgotten island. Just one hour by flight, southwest of Bali, I found a little island called Sumba. During my research, I couldn´t find a lot of information (in English language). Not many videos or Vlogs, no big Instagram hypes, even on Tripadvisor there are still many beautiful places missing. Exactly what I was looking for :)

A little bit of a TRAVEL ITINERARY and some basic information:

I was travelling solo, couldn´t speak the indonesian language and didn´t plan anything before (except the first accomodation). I flew from Bali, Denpasar to Sumba, Waingapu (Capital). There is another small airport called Tambolaka. If you have time, you can take also the boat from Sumbawa or Flores (I think). I rented a motorbike in Waingapu for the whole time (10 days). I just asked on the "airport" for it. It broke down two times within the first two hours after arrival. During this time I already noticed how extremly friendly and helpful the people are. All the information about the places and the things to do, I got from the locals. I drove first through East and than through West Sumba. If you are friendly to the locals, they will be friendly to you which means you are safe all the time. Didn´t have any problems there.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below, thanks :)
