That includes me, haha! I used to go to Batam with my grandparents. The routine was always the same -shop, eat, and avoid the heat, because anything fun meant sweating outdoors. Somewhere along the way, I just stopped going.


So if you're like me and assumed pretty photos needed a Greece budget, go karting meant melting in the sun, and supermarkets only stocked local brands, this trip proved us both wrong. Everything I thought I would have to hop between ten places for, I did under one roof, in full aircon.


Batam has been holding out on us this whole time.


Scroll down to see what we got up to, save this post for your next Batam run 📌, and catch everything in action in this video!
