Not only is the cost of living incredibly low, but the food is delicious, the wildlife is diverse and with nearly 17,000 islands, there are plenty of activities to enjoy, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, exploring volcanoes, hiking or sunbathing on one of their stunning beaches.

There are many historical sites throughout the country that you can visit, such as Borobudur temple, the largest Buddhist temple in the world, or Prambanan temple, which is a Hindu temple in the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta.
