Desca said that her country is a maritime country and also has many beautiful beaches, some of which feature homestays within local houses, such as in Mandalika, West Nusa Tenggara province and Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara province.

"So, when I stayed in the homestay, the atmosphere reminded me of Indonesia," she added.

During the tour, the group also went beachcombing at dusk, immersing themselves in the coastal fun.
