INDONESIA

From the culture of East Java to the world class surf spot in Bali, there is no question that this place has hit one of the top spots to visit in the last few years. If you’re solely going to see Bali, make sure you venture out to see some of the most notable and photogenic spots in the world such as Komodo National Park, Tempak Sewu Waterfall, and Lombok that is a boat ride away from the heart of Indonesia.

I visited Bali for my first solo trip abroad and I owe it all to this country for the lessons learned and the memories made. You’ll easily find a new home nestled within these islands that will make you want to set up camp and stay for awhile – I know I did.
