I spent a year in Balikpapan in East Kalimantan (Borneo) working at an oil refinery in the 80's. I visited Jakarta, Jogjakarta, and Bali, which were all memorable. I think Sulawesi and Sumatra might also have interesting places to visit.

Warm regards, Miss Alina, welcome to the number 1 most beautiful country in the world this is what Europeans say, even though this country has long been the most beautiful land. You will not be bored at all exploring this homeland, called the homeland of the archipelago as far as 5000km from the city of Zero Sabang to the city of Merauke in Papua! wow...it's really beautiful and beautiful exploring land, mountains, wild forests, lakes, crossing the ocean and along the prettiest white beaches, corals and unique fish on the seabed all there is nothing like. plus the welcome of the residents and local people are very friendly, polite, ready to help whatever you want! Many unique islands with different cultures from each region. As you know, Indonesia is the most unique country in the world, it has 17 thousand islands, thousands of islands are deserted and do not have a name, 700 different tribes and languages, 280 million inhabitants, no. 15 worlds of military power, there are eternal snow glaciers in Papua, Komodo Island etc. My advice is to visit the most unique places: Lake Toba in Sumatra, jogya borobudur temple, prambanan temple, Mount Bromo, the southern coast of Java, Surf Beach in Banyuwangi, the cold city of Batu Malang, Bali Island, Lombok Island, Komodo Island, Raja Ampat Beach on Papua Island, Kalimantan, Sulawesi. Enjoy the unique fruits of durian, coconut, salak, kedondong, mangosteen, cantaloupe, etc. Have a nice trip. regards.👍

Worked there for about 2 years. Jakarta is a hot place & will really test your patience because of the crazy traffic. Always have an umbrella ready, because sometimes the rain drops unexpectedly & also it might shades you from the blazing sunlight. Don't forget to bring a mosquito repellent or you can easily buy one at a shop there. Some places are damp & have may plants, it's usually mosquitoes' favourite hang out environment. Generally, the people on the street & at the shops aren't that good in speaking English, but they'll try to understand you as best as they can because they're generally very polite to foreigners. Bali is fun, but be careful with your phone on the street. You'll meet many Australians there & Balinese people understand English better than anywhere else in Indonesia. So speaking English isn't a problem in Bali. If you wanna visit mountains, go very early in the morning so you can watch a beautiful sunrise. At the beaches, you can watch a beautiful sunset. The orange-violet sky + the beach panorama looks beautiful. Visit Bromo mountain if you can. You can ride horses there. It's fun! Anyway, have a safe trip!

@@AlinaMcleod Almost forgot. The food is very rich of flavours there. I love pecel & gado-gado! Those are Indonesian salads. You should try them. You don't have to worry about vegetables because Indonesian LOVE veggies & rice. They put vegetables in almost every dish & rice is their main meal. A friend of mine told me that Indonesian usually say that you haven't had a meal if you haven't eaten rice.

The best volcano to see in Indonesia is Bromo...it's easy to reach the crater, any tourist can do it. Other options are Ijen and Tangkuban Perahu. Of course, can't miss Yogyakarta to see the majestic ancient temples. But be sure to visit early in the morning or arrive at 3PM at any of the temple...if not, it will be miserably hot and humid. Along with Bromo, the nearby Tumpak Sewu waterfall is a must visit.

Like the way you organize your electronics. Shoes are my biggest problem to pack. I always take hiking boots and mostly wear them on the plane then take them off. This is problematic though going through the security. These, sandals/thongs and a pair of relaxing shoes, for going out at night. One pair of running shoes would certainly not work for me. Too many blisters on the feet from all the cobblestones for one thing. Probably not too bad in Indonesia though. Enjoy your Indonesia experience. Will be interested in what you come across. Hot, humid and tropical. Nice and laid back in Bali.

My dermatologist recommended I take Polypodium Leucotomos or fern leaf 🍃 extract as it amplifies sunscreen 🧴 protection. Have had a few Mohs procedures for basal cell so it‘s worth it to have peace of mind while out in strong sunlight. I carry around Native sunscreen which you recommended. Have a substitute teacher friend who just returned from Bali and he spent lots of time diving for Indonesian lobster 🦞. My host family in Uzice Serbia 🇷🇸 had family living in Bali. They had been there and reminded me that Indonesia 🇮🇩 was a non aligned country like Yugoslavia.

Hi Alina, so the direction of my guess was good, but I was wrong with the country. Regarding Indonesia, years ago unfortunately my trip to Jakarta with hiking the volcano was cancelled because of political issues at that time. But I visited Bali and Sulawesi. Both very impressive. Hope you will experience the rice terraces in Bali and the wood workers in Ubud. I wish You the luck of finding and attending a temple festival. Unfortunately I missed this experience.

Jakarta Main course: Sop kambing, Soto tangkar, Sate Ayam, Gado gado, Soto ayam, Bakmi, Nasi campur, Nasi goreng, Gudeg (javanese food), Sop buntut, Sop Iga, Nasi rames, Bakso, Iga bakar. Dessert: Martabak manis, martabak telor, Kerak telor, kueh kueh basah. Java area Main course: Gudeg, Soto ayam, Rawon, Nasi pecel. Bali Main course: Nasi campur bali, Nasi ayam betutu, Sate bawa pohon (that's all I know as I'm not Balinese :D) Usually you can find any kind of all Indonesian food in Jakarta as Jakarta is the capital city and it's a melting point. Good luck with your long journey, stay safe and don't forget to try Durian LOL..

Interesting video. Some of your advice is the direct opposite of mine but then you are already used to tropical travels. I have done three long trips through Indonesia. Everywhere from Southern Sumatra to Flores. I was amused at all the conservative dress preparations for a tourist "everywhere but Bali". Actually I found that a tourist can get away with a lot except for those Balinese temples where a sarong and covered shoulders is always expected. I will be interested in seeing your discoveries as a single blonde woman. I am sure that you will find a much different reaction than I did as an older fat Canadian gent. Spend time in the smaller Javanese cities. Good luck. I expect that you will see much more rain than apparently expect!
