Hi everyone! Hope everyone is safe and healthy out there!

While contemplating on how we can’t go out to do activities outside the house in this lockdown, we browsed through old pictures and found these gems! We went to Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia back in 2018. We had amazing time and would love to share some pictures with you guys. Here we go:

This is my dream destination @Bobba , I really want to visit Indonesia soon!

I have one thing that is always holding me back when I try to plan mt trip however. I can never decide on where to go and which places to skip as I’m afraid I’ll miss out on something amazing.

Indonesia has too many beautiful sites, it will be impossible to see them all in one trip.

Which places would you recommend the most?
