Planning Our First Overseas Trip Together

We had known each other maybe six weeks. I had plans of traveling to Cambodia alone, but then after meeting Helmut, I decided we HAD to travel together. The decision to go to Indonesia was over text. Something like:

Margarite: Cambodia is too much of a downer. Let's go somewhere more romantic but still adventurous.

Helmut: Ok, where?

Margarite: How about Bali?

Helmut: Ok.

And just like that, we had plans to go to Indonesia. The next 2 and a half months were spent summiting to work out the details. It was pretty simple. We consulted Air B&B and Trip Advisor quite a bit.
In the end, we decided on Canggu and Ubud on the island of Bali, and the west coast of Lombok.
International travel was going to be a true test of our relationship!
