Where local villagers smile and peer at you with curious eyes from their rickety front porches. Here you'll be greeted with a genuine and infectious hospitality. One where kids shyly come up to you to take a selfie, not to sell you something. One moment you'll be taking in the most breathtakingly beautiful landscapes and the next be confronted by an endless sea of trash. In one area you'll be rejoicing in fresh mountain air and the next wondering if you'll ever see the blue sky again through stacks of billowing smoke. You'll pass villagers who survive off less than you could ever comprehend, the roof over their heads barely standing but with a smile so big you'll question what everyone back home has to frown about. It's a place where you'll find yourself equally in awe as you are in shock as you navigate your way through the countryside. Take a trip to South Sumatra and you'll find endless fields of rice paddies, towering volcanoes, picturesque lakes and glimpses of village life - all untouched and untainted by tourism.
