I fell hard for the culture, the people, and the food of Indonesia. I hope I will be able to visit again one day, especially because I feel like I have seen so little of this breathtakingly beautiful country.

We traveled many miles when we were there, but I don’t think people realize how large the country really is. If I do get the chance to go back, I will not miss Bali next time!

Visiting Indonesia last year was really life-changing for me. I fell hard for the culture, the people, and the food, and can't wait to visit again.
