Hi everyone!

Browsing the forum has been tremendously helpful in planning lots of trips for me in the past, though now I feel it's time to directly ask for help to this amazing community.

Few weeks ago I began reading about Indonesia to organize a 3 weeks trip in July/ August (2019). I will be travelling with my soon to be wife and we are looking for a mix of on the road experiences, adventure and beaches. After some research, we've come to the conclusion that Flores could be the best place…

Last time I was in Jakarta, I tried to use Uber, but had big problems at the airport. Since then I have downloaded the Grab app and used Grab in Singapore and Bangkok without any problems.

Using the same Grab app I used in SIN and BKK, will I have any problems getting a Grab ride at Jakarta airport?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help out with some Jungle Train info. We're hoping to travel from the Perhentians to KL largely on the Jungle Train mid July. I've been looking at a number of links, including KTM and 12goasia but no services come up. There is a static timetable here but when I try to book at ticket here there are no services. It's a fairly important step in our trip so I'd like to be sure it will be running! I've read it goes to Gemas but elsewhere that the day train only goes as…

Hi!

We're planning a trip to Bali next year with our baby, who will the be 10 months-old (he's not even born yet and he's already a globetrotter!)

We want to rent a villa for a month, go to the beach, eat well, stroll around and just enjoy the time together as a new family.

Do you think it would be better to stay in Kuta, Seminyak or Canggu?

I feel Canggu is more our style because it's note laidback. We've been to Kuta/Seminyak in 2014 as part of a 5 weeks trip on Indonesia and we enjoyed…

Hi everyone, looking for some advice as to what is doable in North Sumatra while travelling with a 9 month old.
We'll be there in July and interested in exploring some of the amazing nature. For those that have experienced North Sumatra with a baby, keen to hear your thoughts what worked well and what you'd recommend against.
Generally we like adventure and have continued travelling now that we have the kid but obviously a little more limited.

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for a family-friendly hotel in Singapore that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. We will be two adults with an eighteen month old. The Shangri-La looks amazing, but costs a small fortune. We don't normally use hotel accommodation in Singapore, but family have sold the old family home and with bubba we do not fit in anyone's dwellings for a visit. We want somewhere that will be comfortable, safe and appropriate for the little man, but something less than A$350 a…
