‼️Listen up! I'm sharing my Indonesia travel mishaps so you can avoid them‼️ . ⚠️Carry your passport + cash + bank cards with you at all times. I'm saying this three times for a reason! I recommend a crossbody bag👜, concealed under snacks and tissues🍫. It might seem like a hassle, but trust me, it's worth it! . ⚠️Tips for avoiding tour group pitfalls: 1️⃣Don't pick up random Chinese-speaking guides on the street (many are scalpers). 2️⃣Confirm your itinerary in advance. 3️⃣Smaller groups offer more flexibility (dealing with difficult group members can ruin your trip). . 🗺7-Day Indonesia Itinerary D1📍Arrive in Surabaya. Airport pickup is essential! The airport is swarming with drivers trying to solicit fares, so book a car in advance🚗. D2📍Sewu Waterfall. Wear non-slip hiking shoes! I fell twice in regular sneakers... A waterproof phone case is a must📱. You'll get soaked taking photos at the base of the waterfall💦, but the scenery is absolutely stunning! It's like stepping into a real-life Emerald City. D3📍Mount Bromo. We started our ascent at 3 am in the dark... I was freezing, but the sunrise made it all worthwhile🌄. The jeep ride through the volcanic ash was thrilling! Remember sunglasses and a mask😷; the ash is intense... I washed my hair three times back at the hotel. D4📍Ijen Crater to see the blue fire and sulfur lake. D5📍Dolphin watching + Ubud. We were freezing on the 5 am boat trip🐬, but the sight of dolphins leaping from the water was exhilarating! Bargain hard at Ubud Market💸. I got a wood carving for 50k after it was initially priced at 300k... The palace is smaller than expected; you can see it all in half an hour. D6📍Nusa Penida. You'll need to use your hands and feet to climb down to Kelingking Beach🧗♀️. Broken Beach looks like an alien landscape👽. Be prepared to queue for photos at Angel's Billabong... Bright clothing is recommended for better photos📸. D7📍Relax in Bali. Lounging by the hotel pool is pure bliss💆♀️. Choose a reputable spa! Small street-side places may use low-quality oils... . 💡Lessons learned: 1️⃣Bring enough adapter plugs (some hotels don't provide them). 2️⃣Always have anti-diarrheal medication (be cautious with street food). 3️⃣Allow 3 hours at the airport (customs is incredibly slow). 4️⃣Use waterproof sunscreen (regular sunscreen washes off with sweat)... .
