We visited Lombok two years ago and we fell in love with Gili Trawangan. Thus, we are going to visit Lombok in October this year as we have bought our flight tickets but with these two recent earthquakes we are considering our travel plans.

We hope everyone is safe in Lombok during this earthquake.
