- It Left a Mark on My Heart: Lombok, Indonesia (2012) - Guest Post by Briana Leigh 8 years ago Perhaps one of the most memorable parts of our almost four months spent backpacking in Southeast Asia was experiencing the magic that is the sometimes overlooked island of Lombok, Indonesia.

While reading the post about Rumeli Fortress, I had the feeling that I was reading a descriptive entrance for Istanbul by Orhan Pamuk who gives a great illustration of Istanbul in our minds while reading. In this blog post, I could get the feeling that a breeze in Bebek shore caressed my hair while watching the old fishermen fishing down the Bosphorus. I felt like visiting the place with you, seeing it from your point of view ;) Great work dude, looking forward to your next posts
