I have done quite a bit of travelling over the last few years. Out of the last 8 years, I have been away from Germany for roughly 6 years and out of all the countries I have been to, I liked Indonesia the best. That definitely had something to do with the people and the surroundings and the underwater world, but a big chunk of it was the actual travelling. Getting from place A to place B.
