Hello. I’m Douglas Cole, an Australian expatriate, and the founder of Better Tours Indonesia.
You probably have arrived at this page because you are thinking of visiting Indonesia. But if you have never been here before, you also may be feeling a little nervous. Some of your friends, neighbors and family may even be wondering whether you are a little unhinged … right?
Sadly, many people from places like Australia, North America, the UK and Europe see the sprawling cities and the diverse and scattered regions of Indonesia’s 17,000 islands beyond Bali as ‘risky’ NO-GO areas.
It’s understandable … because misinformed and sensationalist media reports of terrorism, Muslim extremists and corrupt officials along with perceptions of inadequate facilities and language challenges mean many people feel AFRAID to go near the place.
