Indonesia: Lombok

Off the Beaten Path · Season 8 · Episode 15
Lombok is an Indonesian island in the Lesser Sunda Islands, located just east of Bali and west of Sumbawa. It is home to nearly four million people, with the Sasak as the dominant ethnic group.

The island offers incredible diversity, from tropical beaches along the Indian Ocean and the Bali Sea to fertile farmland and Mount Rinjani, Indonesia’s second highest and still active volcano.

Despite growing tourism, Lombok remains peaceful in many areas. That’s what drew Marián from Slovakia, known as Lemo, who moved here four years ago.

He now focuses on environmental education for children and says he has found his true purpose on this island.
