<p>Many  of us work hard in order to take holidays – not only do we work hard to save  money to fund our adventures, we also toil away to accrue enough leave to take  holidays. Because holidays represent such a significant investment, it is  important to so many of us that we enjoy a great holiday without completely  breaking the bank.</p>
<p><strong>Holidays  can be expensive&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>There  is no denying that holidays can quickly become expensive. Of course, there are  obvious expenses such as: airfares, accommodation, ground or water-based  transport and meals. However, there are a number of other areas that people may  not immediately consider that need to be factored into the holiday budget. Such  items include: <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">travel insurance</a>, admission  fees and a range of incidental costs.</p>
<p><strong>Meeting  everyone&rsquo;s needs:</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0"><span id="more-713"></span></p>
<p>Another  thing that can put pressure on a person and the holiday budget, is the sense of  obligation to meet everyone&rsquo;s needs (if you are travelling as a family or in a  group). People in your party are likely to have different tastes when it comes  to food, the sights they want to see and the ways that they want to spend time.</p>
<p>If  you find yourself in such a situation, you will quite possibly discover that  trying to please everyone is emotionally taxing and financially expensive.</p>
<p>So,  what can you do to have a great holiday that does not send your broke?</p>
<p><strong> 1:  Shop around and compare prices</strong></p>
<p>As  most people are aware, you can usually secure the best prices for flights,  accommodation and other travel necessities when you book well in advance.</p>
<p>The  same applies to travel insurance. There is a variety of <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">cheap travel insurance</a> options available and it is incredibly easy to  purchase online travel insurance. Holiday insurance is absolutely vital and no  traveller should ever be tempted to think that it is an optional extra or  something that they &lsquo;will never need&rsquo;. Too many travellers have unfortunately  discovered that the care or assistance they have required while travelling  overseas has proven exorbitantly expensive, because they did not have appropriate  and sufficient travel insurance cover in place.</p>
<p>While  budget travel insurance can be purchased, all travellers should obtain a number  of travel insurance quotes so that the inclusions and exclusions of different  policies can be clearly seen and compared.</p>
<p><strong> 2:  Gather information</strong></p>
<p>Before  leaving home, it is a fabulous idea to do some research and collect information  about the activities and sights that you think you and/or your party may enjoy.  If travelling with a group, you can ask for the input of other travellers and  (ideally), collectively decide on some of the activities and things that you  will do while you are away.</p>
<p>Do  your best to find out about festivals, events and special celebrations that may  take place while you area way. Involvement in special occasions can be very  enjoyable and memorable.</p>
<p><strong> 3:  Make a plan</strong></p>
<p>Although  spontaneity while on holiday can be exciting, having some plans can also help  you to feel organised and confident that you will not miss some of the sights  and activities that you really want to do.</p>
<p>It  can sometimes be daunting to land in a particular place and start to make plans  at this time. If you have done some preparation prior to leaving home, you are  likely to feel that you are in a better position to make the most of your time  away.</p>
<p>Of  course, plans must be flexible and open to change. It is almost inevitable that  even the most thorough plans will need some modification and amendment.</p>
<p>It  is possible to have a great holiday without going broke. With careful planning,  research and investigation of your options, money can be saved as a fabulous  holiday is simultaneously enjoyed.</p>

<p>Perhaps  it is Valentine’s Day, your honeymoon, anniversary or a proposal is  imminent…there are many romantic and wonderful occasions that match brilliantly  with an incredible overseas destination.</p>
<p>We  are indeed fortunate that planet earth spoils us with an abundance of romantic  and enchanting places that are just perfect for couples in love. Here we take a  look at three of the world’s best.</p>
<p><strong> 1:  The Maldives</strong></p>
<p>The  secluded islands of the Maldives provide a perfect location for you and your  loved one to relax and enjoy stunning natural scenery and perfect weather.</p>
<p>If  you are eager for activity, it is possible to snorkel and see the amazing  underworld within the Indian Ocean, but otherwise, the Maldives are absolutely  perfect for taking it easy and enjoying your time together. You may choose to  indulge in wonderful treatments from the spa resorts located on the islands and  you are sure to want to take in the most beautiful sunsets, pristine waters and inviting golden sands that characterise these islands.</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0"><span id="more-711"></span></p>
<p>Thatched  roof bungalows provide idyllic romantic holiday accommodation.  </p>
<p><strong> 2:  The Seychelles</strong></p>
<p>Located  off the coast of southern Africa, the Seychelles are a perfect destination for  romance as they really do feel as though they are removed from everywhere else  – the sense of escapism and isolation is just wonderful.</p>
<p>The  Seychelles typically offers amazing sunshine and great beaches, many of which  front incredible cliff faces. Some people choose to go exploring (perhaps to  Victoria, one of the world’s smallest capital cities) or participate in  mountain biking or deep-sea fishing, but most visitors to the Seychelles  understandably prefer to spend time relaxing and enjoying being together in one  of the world’s most beautiful and truly romantic destinations.</p>
<p><strong> 3:  Greek Islands</strong></p>
<p>The  Greek Islands are a perfect location for a romantic holiday. Although each  island is unique and distinctive, you are all but guaranteed to experience  incredible weather, a beautiful coastline and a fabulous array of accommodation  possibilities.</p>
<p>While  you may be perfectly content to remain on just one island, the close proximity  of many islands to each other makes it possible to island hop a little and  enjoy the romance and beauty of a number of islands.</p>
<p>With  rich cultural heritage, historic significance, delicious local cuisine and  stunning scenery, the Greek Islands really do provide the perfect setting for a  romantic holiday.</p>
<p><strong>Other  arrangements:</strong></p>
<p>While  it can be very easy to get caught up in the romance and wonder of your holiday,  it is still as vital as ever to ensure that you have the necessary arrangements  in order prior to your departure. Passports and visas should be obvious needs  and no traveller should neglect to purchase <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">travel insurance</a>.</p>
<p>Holiday  insurance is essential for every overseas traveller and with so many <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">cheap travel insurance</a> possibilities on offer, no one should take the risk  of travelling without the protection of cover.</p>
<p>Remember  too, that it is possible to purchase annual travel insurance (which will  generally cover you regardless of how often your travel in a twelve month  period) and by obtaining a number of travel insurance quotes, you can compare  the possibilities and make a decision on the cover that best matches your  needs.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a romantic holiday  destination, the great news is that there is no shortage of international  locations that are absolutely perfect for romance and togetherness.</p>

<p>Generally  speaking, Australians love to travel. Our geographic location means that when  we travel overseas and, more particularly, to the northern hemisphere, we want  to do it well and make the most of the time and opportunities available to us.</p>
<p>Now,  more than ever, is a great time for Australians to travel. In fact, many  European and other destinations have observed a surge in the number of  Australian travellers visiting their parts. Travel is exciting and life  enhancing and if the circumstances are conducive, it is a great idea to journey  to some of the most fascinating and beautiful parts of the world.</p>
<p><strong>Preparing  for your journey:</strong></p>
<p>Although  there are many good reasons for Australians to travel internationally, the need  to adequately and thoroughly prepare for an overseas trip remains. Of course,  passports must be valid and in order and visas secured for some countries.</p>
<p style="margin:0; padding:0"><span id="more-707"></span></p>
<p>It  is also imperative that every Australian traveller invests in <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">travel insurance</a> and has  their holiday insurance cover in order before leaving home. There are many  affordable and decidedly <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">cheap travel insurance</a> options available for purchase, further emphasising  that any traveller would be foolish not to have travel insurance in place.</p>
<p>It  is easy to organise this type of insurance. Travel insurance quotes can be  quickly and easily obtained and compared and it is even possible to purchase  online travel insurance that does not even require you to leave the comfort of  your own home!</p>
<p>Having  thoroughly prepared for your adventure, we return to the best reasons for  Australians to travel&#8230;</p>
<p><strong> 1:  The Australian dollar is strong</strong></p>
<p>The  strength of the Australian dollar offers many Australians better value for  their travels. Because their hard-earned money goes further, many Australians  see that the time is ripe for overseas travel and recognise that the dollar  compares favourably with a number of international currencies – in a way that  it rarely has before.</p>
<p><strong> 2:  Variation</strong></p>
<p>While  Australia is undoubtedly a place of infinite natural beauty, many travellers  are drawn to international destinations that are known and admired for being  clean and green. The Scandinavian countries are home to some of the world’s  most beautiful landscapes and scenery and the opportunity to visit spectacular  fjords, parts of the Arctic wilderness, alpine meadows, amazing mountains,  glaciers and beautiful rivers, understandably has great appeal for many  Australians.</p>
<p><strong> 3:  Cuisine</strong></p>
<p>No  matter who you are, or your ideal type of holiday, one of the highlights and  most memorable aspects of your overseas holiday is bound to be the different  food that you ate and the cuisine that you sampled. Eating and drinking while  you are away should be pleasurable and there are few things as wonderful as  tasting local delicacies and feasting on traditional, local fare.</p>
<p>Food  has the power to bring people together, punctuate celebrations and feature in  the most wonderful stories. Given this, food provides a fabulous reason to  travel!</p>
<p>Although  Australians typically do love to travel, there are some very good reasons for  Australians to take off and travel now, not the least of which is the strength  of the Australian dollar. It is important that all necessary arrangements (such  as passports, visas and travel insurance cover) are in place so that you can  relax and make the most of every opportunity available to you while you are  away.</p>

			</a>
		</div>
<p>Before  embarking on any journey, travellers commonly plan carefully – they plan and  check transport and accommodation details carefully and, if they are sensible,  make sure they have appropriate <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">travel insurance</a> cover in place.<br />
<span id="more-606"></span><br />
  There is  always a lot to think about when planning a trip. Not only do you need to sort  out an itinerary and schedule, you are quite likely to be shopping around to  obtain the best prices for fares and lodgings and possibly, doing some evaluation  of policies in order to obtain <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au">cheap travel insurance</a>.</p>
<p>  In amongst  all of the things that need to be considered, health scares and issues should  not be overlooked. Recently, health scares such as bird flu, foot and mouth  disease, SARS and other flu epidemics have been of global concern and  significance and have indicated to travellers just how important it is to take  precautions so that you are covered for health and medical emergencies before  and during travel.</p>
<p>  <strong>Precautions:</strong></p>
<p>  Although  many travellers are unlikely to come into contact with diseases that are of  global concern, it is still important to take the appropriate precautions. No  matter where you are travelling, you should undertake some research to find out  about the communicable diseases that are relevant to the country or specific  area and have the appropriate vaccinations or other precautionary measures  before leaving Australia.</p>
<p>  If you have  allergies or other health conditions, you should bring information from a  health professional that gives specific information about your condition and  any medications you may be required to take.</p>
<p>  It is  advantageous for all travellers to carry information pertaining to their  vaccinations status, hospitalisation, medication and emergency contacts in case  an emergency occurs.</p>
<p>  <strong>Healthy  and ‘unhealthy’ destinations:</strong></p>
<p>  Aside from  taking the aforementioned precautions, travellers should be aware that some  destinations are healthier than others. For example, countries such as: Japan,  Australia, Sweden and the Scandinavian nations enjoy good food, access to  health facilities and opportunities for active transport, including: hiking,  water sports and skiing.</p>
<p>  Some other  countries are not generally recommended as travel destinations as the risk of  contracting diseases from other humans, animals, water and insects is markedly  higher. In many countries, access to health treatment and facilities is also  problematic.</p>
<p>  Do your  research to know which countries are affected by health concerns such as:  malaria, typhoid, hepatitis, rabies, yellow fever, dengue fever and other  diseases.</p>
<p>  <strong>Vaccination:</strong></p>
<p>  Consult a  health professional or look online to ascertain the vaccines commonly  recommended for people travelling to your destination. The risks of being  vaccinated are minimal and certainly out weight the risk of contracting a  preventable disease. Side effects typically experienced from vaccines for  diseases such as Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid and Yellow Fever include: soreness  at the injection site, minor fever, tiredness and headache.</p>
<p>  <strong>Be  prepared:</strong></p>
<p>  As well as  being vaccinated, being up to date with regular immunisations and carrying  records of vaccinations and immunisations is important. Travellers who take  medications should ensure that their supply is plentiful enough to see them  through their trip.</p>
<p>  For some  travellers, it may be necessary for them to postpone their journey until they  are fit to travel and ensure that when they are away, that they have documented  information about their medical conditions, the treatments and medications that  they are receiving and any allergies that they may have.</p>
<p>  For many  travel destinations, it is wise to carry over the counter treatments for  ailments such as: colds, diarrhoea, nauseas and stomach problems. For tropical  and subtropical destinations, it is wise to carry insect repellent, sunscreen,  protective clothing and nets.</p>
<p>Travellers have a lot to think about before they  take off on their journey. Although planning and making arrangements for  accommodation and transport can be consuming, it is important that travellers  spend some time and energy researching and taking action to protect themselves  against diseases and health concerns that may be prevalent at their  destination.</p>

Hiking up mountains, trekking through valleys. The world has plenty of great places to explore. Naturally, someone attempting to conquer Mt Everest needs to be extremely well prepared. For even more modest challenges, changes in weather, altitude sickness, impassable or dangerous paths and the chance of getting lost all need to be planned for. Medical expenses are often covered by travel insurance policies, and good ones may also pay for search and rescues should these be required.<br />
  <span id="more-510"></span><br />
<strong>Skiing and Snowboarding </strong><br />
Hitting the slopes and ploughing through fresh snow can be exhilarating. Different runs fortunately cater for all levels of skiers and snowboarders, but if you overestimate your ability, emergency medical cover and personal liability cover, as part of your travel insurance policy will stand you in good stead. </p>
<p><strong>Scuba diving </strong><br />
Scuba diving is a popular holiday activity. Many travellers actually do their first dives and training while overseas on holiday. Your host should be PADI accredited or equivalently qualified. Levels of insurance coverage vary, with some operators varying rates depending on the depth you are diving to. Coverage for your own scuba diving gear is also possible. </p>
<p><strong>Sailing </strong><br />
Pleasant ocean breezes and a warm sun while relaxing on a yacht is what many of us might like to be experiencing right now! While one would hope the seas don&#8217;t become rough, leaving one stuck at sea and needing to be rescued. It&#8217;s worth having some cover, even if this outcome is unlikely. </p>
<p><strong>Horse Riding </strong><br />
Riding horses is a wonderful experience. It&#8217;s also a great way to enjoy the natural environment. If you are a beginner horse rider, your guide should be able to select a horse appropriate for you. Like humans, horses have different personalities and temperaments. Some are very obedient and happy to walk or trot. Others like to bolt off suddenly, as soon as they&#8217;re past their enclosing gate! Make sure you have the appropriate gear, including a properly fastened riding helmet, and have some travel insurance incase you are unlucky enough to have a fall. </p>
<p>Some insurers will cover a wide range of sporting and leisure activities from cliff diving to hang gliding. While we&#8217;d also recommend insurance cover for those sports, we&#8217;ve covered the more common activities holiday makers might consider undertaking while on holiday. </p>
<p>Picking a good operator is key. Expert sailors, horse riders and scuba diving instructors with good reputations should ensure you are in good hands, and can enjoy your chosen activity fully. Taking out travel insurance with a company independent of your sports operator is worthwhile though, just to be on the safe side. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.insure4less.com.au/travel.php">Cheap Travel Insurance</a> should cover the main eventualities should something go wrong on holiday, notably for overseas medical expenses. For more extreme sports activities, make sure you have the right cover, and right level of cover, before you leave home. </p>

			</a>
		</div>
<p>Organising some <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">travel insurance</a> before you set off on your holiday will help you make sure you are covered, should the following mishaps occur:</p>
<p><strong>Arriving Without Any Clothes</strong><br />
OK, sure, you won&#8217;t even get past check in if you are not wearing anything, but imagine if the clothes that you are wearing have to last you your whole holiday? That&#8217;s the situation many people have found themselves in, when they have arrived at their destination, and their luggage has decided its going to a different holiday destination! Short of taking all your clothing on as hand luggage, travel insurance can sort you out for an impromptu wardrobe while you wait for your bags to join you on your vacation.<br />
<span id="more-487"></span><br />
<strong>Not Managing to Get on The Plane</strong><br />
For the vast majority of people, checking in, getting through customs and onto one&#8217;s designated flight should not pose too much of a problem. Spare a thought for those who through little fault of their own, didn&#8217;t manage to get that far. An unforseen traffic jam or accident involving the vehicle you are travelling to the airport in could mean you arrive too late to check in on time and then miss your flight. Flexible tickets, and / or travel insurance can help in resolving such issues quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Meeting the Local Wildlife</strong><br />
Soaking up the great outdoors whilst viewing beautiful animals in their natural habitat is a popular break one would think most people would enjoy. As long as the animals don&#8217;t come too close that is. Camping out in the African Savannah sounds like a great way to get back to nature, but just make sure you don&#8217;t encroach on an animal&#8217;s habitat. Your tour guide will be able to assist with sensible do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts. The very occasional tourist has come unstuck whilst trying to foolishly pose for happy snaps with wild animals. Snakes, scorpions and the like might be a greater risk. While care, and listening to local advice should see you through, travel insurance for any urgent medical emergency provides an extra level of comfort.</p>
<p><strong>Holidays Without Any Cash</strong><br />
Major world tourist attractions excite would be travellers with their beauty and grandeur, spurring many of us on to visit these famed landmarks. Unfortunately in some spots, would be pickpockets are also well aware, eagerly awaiting the next plane load of unsuspecting tourists to descend on their turf. Losing some cash could be a hassle, but what if your wallet is taken, along with the credit card you were relying on to foot the expenses of your dream holiday? You could be in a bit of a pickle. Some travel insurance policies provide cover for stolen money  to make sure your holiday can continue as planned. It&#8217;s also a good idea to not carry too much cash around, and split it up over a few different places in your luggage.</p>
<p>The majority of travellers enjoy wonderful holidays incident free. Taking out some <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/page/Insurance_Products/">Cheap Travel Insurance</a> though, will give you peace of mind at an affordable cost. </p>

			</a>
		</div>
<p>The following valid reasons make <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">travel insurance </a>a must, before you jet off on your holidays:</p>
<p><strong>Trip Changes or Cancellation</strong><br />
Being stuck without accommodation when a last minute flight cancellation occurs is no fun experience. Travel insurance may be able to cover you for the cost of a hotel, in such a circumstance. You may also be able to obtain coverage in case of an illness, where you need to make changes to your booking prior to departure. The higher the value of your planned travel, the more important travel insurance is. In other words, you stand to lose much more on a round the world airline ticket, or multi stop global travel package than on a low cost domestic flight.<br />
<span id="more-484"></span><br />
<strong>Health Issues</strong><br />
It&#8217;s very easy to fall sick, even at the best of times. Add in to this different climates, environments and foods, and the body can take a little getting used to the adjustment. Prior inoculations for known diseases in specific areas are a wise idea, but are only part of the solution. While you may be well covered medically at home, your home cover is unlikely to extend overseas. Having a comprehensive Travel Health Insurance plan will ensure that you are covered if you require medical assistance whilst overseas.</p>
<p><strong>Medical Evacuations</strong><br />
Travel Health insurance is a saviour when needing to see local medical staff, while travelling overseas. This may be sufficient if the medical issues of the traveller are not too serious, and that local medics are equipped to handle the health issue in question. Some regions however, may have a decided lack of medical facilities or staff who are poorly equipped to handle the more serious or possibly life threatening medical problems. This is where medical evacuation cover is essential. Medical evacuations can be extremely expensive, and could potentially bankrupt an individual who suffers a medical emergency in a poorly equipped region.</p>
<p><strong>Loss, Theft or Damage of Baggage</strong><br />
Arriving at your destination without your baggage is not how you want to start your holiday. If these have been lost after being checked in by your airline, then some compensation is likely to be payable. There are often limits on this amount, however, and travel insurance will often more comprehensively cover you for any potential loss. Flow on issues, like the need to immediately replace the necessities in your baggage (such as with medication) can also be handled by having a travel insurance policy.</p>
<p><strong>Adventure/ Extreme Sports Travel</strong><br />
If you are going to partake in such activities, just make sure you are covered. Adventure activities can be a great part of holidays, but it is better to have insurance cover in the unlikely event of a mishap.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/page/Insurance_Products/">Cheap Travel Insurance</a> is an easy way to make sure you are covered for any unforeseen problems on your trip.</p>

<p>Malaysia is one of the safest and easiest countries in the world to visit.  That is not to say that you should travel unprepared, but knowing that you will be to ensure your journey without too many concerns will certainly make your planning a lot easier.  In any case it is always important to purchase the best <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">travel insurance</a> policy you can afford so that any uncertainty can be taken care of easily.<br />
<span id="more-352"></span><br />
Let&#8217;s look at at least five things you can do to make your trip to Malaysia safer and more enjoyable. </p>
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t Drink the Water.  As with many countries in Southeast Asia, hygiene standards are sometimes not as high as they are in the West.  Most times it is just a matter of common sense in making a decision whether to eat or drink at a particular street stall or restaurant.  The important thing to remember is that most food in Malaysia is prepared fresh but that the water may be slightly contaminated.  For this reason it is better to drink only bottled water. </li>
<li>Getting around.  One of the most peculiar things that may happen when you visit Kuala Lumpur is to receive a phone call offering you a free tour of the city.  This is more than likely a scam operated by a group of store sellers who will take you to their shops in a bid to have your buyers much from them as possible.  Avoid these offers at all costs and only deal with reputable tour companies which are recommended by friends or the hotel where you are staying. </li>
<li>Terrorist activity.  Make sure you stay up-to-date with the latest government warnings about possible terrorist threats.  Although the likelihood of this occurring is quite low, there have been incidents of concern in some areas of Eastern Sabah, particularly at diving resorts and some coastal areas of this particular region.  If you want to play completely safe just eliminate this area of Malaysia from your itinerary.  Street crime.  As is the case in many capital cities around the world there is an increasing incidence of pick pocketing and bag snatching.  To prevent the likelihood of an attack make sure you do not wear jewellery or any sign of wealth when you are walking in the streets.  All cash should be carefully concealed in a money belt and kept underneath your clothing at all times.  Leave all valuable documents especially passports and other identification in a safe deposit box or the safe at your hotel.</li>
<li>Travel Insurance.  It is always a wise move to take out proper <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">holiday insurance</a> before you start any overseas holiday.  In fact, the Australian government website also particularly recommends that you take out comprehensive travel insurance before you start your trip.  This is certainly one tip you should not ignore. </li>
</ul>
<p>Whilst Malaysia is one of the friendliest and safest countries to visit in Southeast Asia, following these few free tips will go a long way to ensuring that your holiday is a safe and memorable one. </p>

<p>With over 17,000 islands, Indonesia has thousands of kilometres of coastline and, not surprisingly, a great selection of exciting beaches that will attract not only hard-core surfers but also travellers who are looking for a beach side experience where they can relax and immerse themselves in a different culture. </p>
<p>When planning your trip to Indonesia give yourself plenty of time to consider your options, take out the best <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">travel insurance</a> package you can afford, and make your bookings well in advance.<br />
<span id="more-346"></span><br />
Whilst it is well-nigh impossible to narrow down the choice of beaches to a list of five that will suit everybody, let&#8217;s take a look at a broad range in our shortlist. </p>
<ul>
<li>Thousand Islands.  By taking a ferry from Ancol in North Jakarta you&#8217;ll find yourself in the pristine blue waters of these islands which offer a range of accommodation and resorts as well some of the most beautiful deserted beaches on earth.  The islands closer to Jakarta are more popular, especially with day-trippers, so if you really want to get away from it all you&#8217;ll need to travel a bit further out to find yourself on powdery white sand with vast expanses of blue water fringed with coconut palms and no one to share it with you. </li>
<li>Banda Islands, Maluku.  These islands were once exotically termed the spice Islands, shrouded in mystery and wonder, highly valued by pirates and international traders alike.  Today, it has assumed the more sedate name of Banda and whilst spices still grow abundantly the islands are now favoured by holidaymakers seeking quiet rest in a noisy world.</li>
<li>Nusa Dua.  Surfers the world over know that Indonesia has some of the world&#8217;s best surfing beaches and is home to some of the most amazing ocean waves in the southern hemisphere.  Even following the terrorist attacks in Bali a few years ago, surfers continued to visit Indonesia in undiminished numbers, and this was amongst their favourite destinations. </li>
<li>Aloita Resort and Spa.  This is a surfers only destination located in Padang which was specially built to pander to your every need as a surfer.  It is only five minutes from Telescopes, probably the most famous deserving destination in Indonesia if not the world.  The resort’s owners promise to share all the local secrets with their guests but are very tight-lipped about giving out any information prior to your arrival.  But, if you read the reviews of surfers who have visited this area, it promises to be something very special indeed. </li>
<li>The Mentawai Islands.  This collection of about 70 islands is located off the western side of Sumatra are considered by surfers in the know to have the most consistent surf in the world.  From June to September the conditions are nearly perfect for big waves and, as you can imagine is extremely popular. </li>
</ul>
<p>Of course, surfing can come with some extra dangers so you should always make sure that your <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">holiday insurance</a> policy covers the possibility of an untimely accident.  The above five selections are simply a start and you can find extra information from a good travel agent. </p>

<p>Undoubtedly one of the highlights of any trip to Indonesia is the food.  You will enjoy a culinary journey when you incorporate the exotic dining experiences that Indonesia can offer you when you plan your next trip.  And there is no need to worry about health concerns either as the food is prepared in hygienic conditions at most places as long as you use a bit of common sense.  Naturally, you should always have the best <a href="http://www.insure4less.com.au/">travel insurance</a> you can afford to take care of life&#8217;s little uncertainties.<br />
<span id="more-343"></span><br />
In a country with a population of over 200 million there are obviously a huge number of eating experiences that you could enjoy.  So it is extremely difficult to narrow down a list of restaurants all meals that you should include in your itinerary.  Nevertheless there are at least five things you should experience when it comes to the cuisine of Indonesia.  </p>
<ul>
<li>Satay.  The Satay is probably the best-known Indonesian dish in the world, but one variation that may have escaped your attention is Satay Ponorgo.  This is an East Java dish originating in the town of Ponorgo and is made from marinated chicken meat served with a sauce made from peanuts and chilli.  This dish is unique however in that each skewer contains a whole chicken’s meat, not just a few slices, so it is a rather filling dish!
