Thanks for these recommendations! I wasn’t expecting Luwuk to be so remote! I’ll check out the Banggai Islands, but I’ll probably head back to Makassar as soon as I can.

I’ll be in Batui, about 50 km from Luwuk

Thanks for your reply, Songsam, I have an obligation near Luwuk in Sulawesi, so I’ll start there. I was thinking of visiting Java—or at least Jakarta—on my way back, but from what you’re saying, I’d be better off staying in Sulawesi for the whole trip and making the most of it?

Hi,

I’m planning a trip to Indonesia, specifically Sulawesi and Java, in September for 10 days. I don’t know this part of the world at all—any advice is welcome! I’ll be traveling solo and would also love tips on meeting other travelers or locals.

Thanks
