There are two swings at the Wanagiri Hidden Hills, mainly the “fake” one which makes a great photo spot, and the real one that allows you to swing high above Lake Tambingan and Lake Buyan. I was pretty shaken up by the real swing. The operators do not care whether you’re afraid or not. When you give them the signal to stop the swing, they will push even harder instead. When you start screaming out of fear, they will laugh and think it’s funny which resulted in me being very unhappy (obviously for someone who is afraid of heights like myself). That aside, the view features two tranquil lakes surrounded by lush green hills. Combined with the cooling air atop the hill, this place is great for relaxing. Just skip the swing! Have you been placed in a situation during your travels which made you feel uncomfortable, upset, annoyed, or angry? •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #indonesia #bali #baliindonesia #balibaby #balitrip #wanagiri #girldiscoverers #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
While some people ascend Punthuk Setumbu Hill to catch the sunrise with Borobudur Temple as the backdrop, others visit the hill just for photo-taking purposes. My girlfriends and I belong to the second group who went up the hill for photos. It’s not a hard hike, and you’ll reach the top within 10 to 15 minutes. There’s a swing at the top of the hill with multiple photo spots. Imagine riding the swing while watching the sunrise – should be an incredible experience! Have you been on any swings atop a hill? Where are your secret sunrise spots? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #indonesia #yogyakarta #yogyakartatrip #yogya #jogjakarta #jogja #punthuksetumbu #travelgirl #doyoutravel #speechlessplaces #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #thetravelwomen
“The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.” - Japanese Proverb • The bamboo is flexible, bending with the wind but never breaking, and capable of adapting to any circumstance. This suggests resilience, meaning that we have the ability to bounce back even from the toughest times. Our ability to thrive depends on our attitude to our life circumstances. We should take everything in stride and always stay calm in times of difficulty. • I’ve encountered a couple of travel mishaps, and to be honest, I didn’t deal with all issues calmly. But, the problems will never hinder me from travelling solo. Yes, there are times I’m terrified to travel solo, but I still do it, as long as I’m assured that my safety’s not compromised. For those of you who travel a lot, are you someone who adapts easily to situations that occur out of a sudden? Or, would you book the next flight home immediately? • • • #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #japan #japantrip #japantravel #japanlover #kyoto #kyotojapan #arashiyama #arashiyamabambooforest #bambooforest #travelgirl #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
Located 900 metres above sea level and in a small village in the middle of nowhere, getting there is a real challenge. You have to descend approximately 500 steps to reach this waterfall – I actually counted 472 steps but you can count and let me know if I’m right. @monstaaa18 and I started our trek as early as 7am and we were the first and only ones at the waterfall. The sight of the water tumbling down the mountain into the varnish clear pool at the bottom awed us speechless. If there’s one place that I don’t mind returning to again and again, it’s Bali! Do you have a special city you really love that you keep revisiting? •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #indonesia #bali #baliindonesia #balibaby #balitrip #waterfall #girldiscoverers #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
“What if grass is greener on the other side, because it’s always raining there, where the ones who never fail to give, hardly have enough to spare, where the people with the broadest smiles, have pillows filled with tears, and the bravest ones you’ve ever known, are crippled by their fears? It’s filled with lonely people, but they’re never seen alone, where those that lack real shelter, make you feel the most at home. Maybe their grass looks greener, because they’ve painted on its hue. Just remember from the other side, your grass looks greener too.” - Eric Hanson • It’s all about perspectives, isn’t it? Have you ever visited a country/city where your initial impression of it has been changed after experiencing the local life over there? •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #indonesia #bali #baliindonesia #balibaby #balitrip #riceterraces #girldiscoverers #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
The Tegallalang Rice Terrace is a popular spot to catch the sunrise, and people often stay a little longer after the sunrise for the swing. There are more than five swings situated at different heights scattered around the rice terrace, with the favoured ones being the lowest swing that’s right beside the entrance and the highest swing offering a panoramic view. Since I’m already there, I decided to overcome my fear of heights and went for the swing offering the best view! Each ride costs 10 USD, and you can swing for as long as you desire and take as many photos as you want to. Have you been to Bali before? Did you try any of the iconic Bali swings? •⁣ •⁣ •⁣ #iamtb #tlpicks #passionpassport #thediscoverer #travelblogger #indonesia #bali #baliindonesia #balibaby #balitrip #baliswing #girldiscoverers #travelgirl #traveladdict #dametraveler #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #wanderlust #vacation #travelling #travelmore #darlingescapes #travelgram #roamtheplanet #instatraveling
