Hey guys,
Fist of all, if English posts aren’t allowed here, don’t worry and just trash this topic (
).
I’m a frequent traveler backpack-style and am visiting Indonesia for the first time, just arriving in Jakarta today. What’s a better way to know a country than asking for advice from locals? I might just try!
I know that Indonesian people are very friendly (already proven today), so maybe someone here is happy to give me some tips for things to do and see (also places to visit thinking beach/nature/chilling other than Bali, which I already plan to visit).
I appreciate any input, thanks.

I won't just talk about the goodness, but I will share some of the things you might face. Indonesian people are known to be pleasant and friendly towards everyone, including foreigners they have just met. However, you still have to be careful and don't trust everyone easily because I am sure that in almost every country there will be people with bad intentions who take advantage of our ignorance.
On average, some regions in Indonesia highly uphold their traditional norms but that doesn't mean they will be stiffened to the situations and conditions that don't suit their traditions because usually, they will have higher tolerance to foreign tourists.
Besides Bali, I recommend you to visit Lombok, Raja Ampat, and Labuan Bajo. I hope you can gain new experiences and have a lot of fun in Indonesia.
