Before “Flowers and Youth: Friends Edition” airs and prices for flights and hotels skyrocket, let’s all book our Indonesian adventure!
I went for a total of 9 days and 8 nights, and the cost for two people was 0.8w. When traveling abroad, meticulous planning is key! Initially, we didn’t plan to join a tour group, but booking hotels and finding guides on our own proved to be too cumbersome, so we opted for an all-inclusive package. To our delight, it turned out to be a fantastic choice, with a young and friendly group, no diva attitudes, and a wonderful atmosphere as we chatted and explored together.
So, friends, go for it without hesitation!!!
