Revisiting Gili T after 9 years (Indonesia vlog) - #131

Nine years ago I left Gili Trawangan with no money, a banging head, and a boat to Komodo I nearly missed.

This week I went back with Mica and Tomi, now alcohol-free, to see what's changed.

Turns out, mostly me.

We island-hop from Bali to Gili T and finish on Gili Air. Plenty of boats, chats with locals, my not-funny-funny toilet humour, Borat impressions, a masturbation joke or two, and the deep chats you'd expect:

Is life one big illusion? If everything you experience is your brain interpreting and projecting the signals it can decode, what are you actually looking at?

This one's emotional for me. It was the last weekend Mica, Tomi and I had together, and I'll treasure it.

Same island. Completely different chapter.
