Did you know there’s an island where cars are banned?😮 No cars or motorbikes are allowed on Gili Trawangan Island in Indonesia! Only bicycles and electric scooters! Horse drawn carriages, called cidomo, are the main mode of transportation. The main reason motorized vehicles were banned was to limit the pollution and keep the island air fresh. So if you want to visit a place where the air is cleaner than anywhere else, book that ticket to Gili T! Follow this account @deanna_troy_travels for Gili Island videos, blogs and pictures to inspire your next trip! ✈️ • • • #horse #horses #horsedrawncarriage #islandlife #islandgirl #islandlove #gilitrawangan #gilit #giliislands #gilitrawanganisland #WonderfulIndonesia #visiting_indonesia #gilitrawangantrip #exploreindonesia #indonesia_photography #travelingwomen #womentravelpicture #thegirltribe #girlswhotravelglobal #womenforwanderlust #islandliving #islandparadise #islandlover #womentravelcommunity #girlpowertravel #girlsborntravel #iamtb #sheisnotlost #myGLTstory

Snorkeling with sea turtles on Gili Trawangan Island 🐢 Full YT video link in profile @deanna_troy_travels - If you can't scuba dive on Gili T thats ok because the snorkeling is just as amazing! You can get up close and personal wirh friendly sea turtles in their natural habitat. Only feeding them their natural food seaweed of course! It truly makes you feel like a character in a Disney movie! 💙 • • • #liloandstitch #seaturtles #snorkeling #snorkeling #snorkelling #snorkel #snorkelingadventure #snorkelingtrip #snorkellingtrip #snorkelingtime #snorkelaroundtheworld #snorkelingspot #snorkelingtours #saltnomads #underthesea #underwaterworld #underwater #water_of_our_world #gilitrawangan #gilit #giliisland #giliislands #gilitrawanganisland #seaturtle #exploreindonesia #wonderfulindonesia #tiktokindonesia #seaturtlelove #seaturtles🐢 #aloha #travelvlogger
1, 2 or 3? Post Scuba diving boat lounging is the best feeling! When all the gear is off, the sun is shining and the scuba group gets to debrief. “Wow did you see that ___?” “Oh I saw a ___!” Then you get to fill it into your dive book together. Very fun! Love sharing these activities with my hubby. 🌊💙 • See what scuba diving in Gili Islands is like in my “The Underwater World of the Gili Islands” video linked in my bio @deanna_troy_travels • • #scubadiving #scuba #scubapro #scubadivers #scubalife #scubagram #scubadivingtrip #scubaworld #scubadive #traveltogetherto #creativetravelcouples #thetravelcouples #travlcouples #cutetravelcouples #travelcouplesaround #tc_feature #travellingcouplegoals #travelcouplesfromtheworld #pindleindonesia #exploreindonesia #wonderfulindonesia #indonesia_photography #thebaliguideline #thisisindonesia #unlimitedbali #visitbali #giliislands #gilitrawanganisland #gogili #giligasm
What if I could explore under the sea? A question I've have since watching The Little Mermaid and Finding Nemo as a kid! Well I'm sharing how I made my dreams come a reality through the #WhatIfSafetyWing Nomad Campaign. We got our scuba PADI license in Vietnam and have explored the sea ever since! It's so amazing to see how much like the animations the underwater world truly is. All the creatures swim unbothered in harmony, it's silent but so beautiful!🦈 • If you are diving under 10 meters, have a PADI license and are accompanied by a certified instructor than @safetywing has got your back! • https://safetywing.com/?referenceID=deannatroytravels&utm_source=deannatroytravels&utm_medium=Ambassador • • • #safetywing #nomadambassador #travelinsurance #whatifwithsafetywing #safetywingtravelinsurance #underthesea #findingnemo #thelittlemermaid #scubadiving #snorkeling #gilimenounderwaterstatues #scubalife #scubapro #snorkeling #snorkelingaroundtheworld  #globaltravelhub #travelbugsworld #suretravel #TravelAwesome #travellersatlas #scubadivinglife #goprophotos #letsgosomewhere  #travelling #instatravel #travelingram #traveldeeper #exploreindonesia #wonderfuldestinations   #wonderfulindonesia
💙Clear blue water, high tide came and brought you in" Taylor Swift 💙 If there's an ocean, find us near it. My favorite days are our beach ones. This is on Gili Trawangan Island in Indonesia and it's one of the most peaceful islands we visited on our 2 year trek throughout Southeast Asia. See what it's like to live on an island!

I usually post my best travel shots but today I’m showing my real, raw, unfiltered adventures with the #WhatsYourRaw @safetywing Nomad Campaign. On social media everyone posts their highlights, but travels don’t always go as planned. There’s bad weather, transportation mishaps, unforeseen injuries and sometimes mischievous monkeys to put a damper on your journey! But @safeywing travel insurance is always there to help you get through those unpredictable times. So my question for all of you is, what’s your raw? What are your not-cute mishaps that have fumbled a trip? Tell me your raw moments in the comments below!

Happy World Water Day! Did you know there are museums under the sea? All over the world, the Maldives, Spain, Australia, France, Mexico and this piece in Indonesia feature exhibits by the artist @jasondecairestaylor who creates underwater sculptures out of pH neutral environmental grade cement. This display off of Gili Meno island is close enough to the surface that you can explore it with just snorkeling gear!

Getting “vitamin sea” may be more important that you think. Research shows that being in or near water environments may lead to relaxation, improved social interactions, better brain health, enhanced physical activity, and relief from stress. It can also lower the risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease and premature death. Even if you’re not in the water, hanging out around it can have long impacting health benefits! So get your swim suit and get sea side! • Are you planning an Indonesian trip? 🇮🇩 Follow this account @deanna_troy_travels for videos, blogs and more to help you plan your adventure to the Gili Islands and more! ✈️ • • • #firstdayofspring #worldstorytellingday #internationalhappinessday #paddleboarding #paddleboard #tealwaters #islandlife #gilitrawangan #gilit #giliisland #WonderfulIndonesia #visiting_indonesia #gogili #giligasm #pindleindonesia #exploreindonesia #indonesia_photography #smartwomentravel #travelingwomen #shetravelz #womentravelpicture #thegirltribe #girlswhotravelglobal #womenforwanderlust #wtfeature #womentravels_ #shetravelsclub #womentravelcommunity #girlpowertravel #bluespaces

Don’t make this mistake when traveling...Most travel lovers are also Type A planners. They make the most of every minute and plan each picture to a tee. Although being prepared is essential for travel it’s often taken too far. Make sure to give yourself downtime and grace for rest. Travel comes with jet-lag, stomach upset, time-zone constrictions for having conversations from home, wrong turns, hostel booking flukes and more! If you’re not hopping around each second of your trip then that’s a GOOD thing! This moment was captured when Cedric and I were relaxing with no plans on Gili Trawangan Island. I took a moment to just put my feet up and admire a beautiful beach flower while taking in the sounds of the waves. Make time to rest, reflect and recoup on your trips! 🌸 🏖️ ☀️ Follow this account @deanna_troy_travels for all the best travel tips!
