As I sit here in South Carolina, watching you at "Carolina Cottages," I want to thank you for opening my eyes (in all of your video series) to this amazing part of Indonesia! I admit, I would have NEVER had this on my travel list, until your videos!

Indonesia was chosen no1 as the most beautiful country in the world by Forbes 2022..and has 17,000 islands..hopefully the Indonesian government can maximize the tourism potential of each island

Just completed a trip to Java late December, cut short by my wife dislocating her shoulder outside of Surabaya, so went looking for another Indonesian adventure not as strenuous so as not to alarm her as she is understandably a bit gun shy. Stumbled across your vlog and must say it is one of the better travel vlogs I have seen, love how you let the places do the talking and you are not front and centre. Narration is very good, respect for local business, showing their contact info is really a great initiative and I rarely see that from content providers. Your Lake Toba series has been remarkable and we are now looking to book another Indonesian getaway featuring Lake Toba (along with Mt Bromo that we missed out on after the accident) this August. We want to get there before it becomes Bali - ised if you know what I mean. Indonesia is so big however the only thing we ever see about Indonesia in Australia is Bali. Thanks

Sure is some pretty countryside and some great driving roads!

For sure an underrated and less popular/visited destination. So great...it's changes!!

Loved the video! Lake Toba is absolutely on my bucket list of must visit places. So beautiful and charming. P.S Do not shorten your videos as they are excellent.

So good to see a part of the world that is rarely explored. Adding this place to the bucket list as we speak!

What a beautiful scenery, simply wonderfull!! 🥹👍

How these Toba vids have not gone viral is beyond me. Location is mental AF!

According tO Forbes and money,uk Indonesia is the NO 1 most beautiful country 2022 cz Indonesia have everything ..even as tropical country Indonesia have snow in puncak jaya wijaya Papua ..but sadly the snow slowly gone per year..If NORTH Sumatera beautiful every where Indonesia defenetly never ending beauty…

Truly amazing and inspiring series - the master of detail and presentation hits a new level - Many Thanks 🙏 👌👋

I was at lake Toba 30 Years ago and it was quiet messy. To much garbage and the waste water was discharged into the lake. Good to see that a lot has changed

Thanks again love your format highly informative fabulous eye candy shots and very respectful. Anyway as a born and raised BCer the lake Toba area just seems so similar to home.This would be my kind of place to retire perfect microclimate and lovely locals.Cheers

wow..just wow...

I have watched many of your side trips but I have to say your Tuk Tuk series is awe inspiring. Breathtakingly beautiful.

JUST WOW is a understatement! Nice work as usual STL! Hope you lose your frog soon.

Looks so peaceful. Want to move. Have a great day. Happy New Year 2023. Cheers.?😊

Is that a retirement eligible destination? all year warm not hot or cold weather, extreme cheap, excellent english, super natural scenery...

I’ve stayed at the same hotel about 15 years ago, unfortunately due to work commitments not long enough to explore the area that your doing now, so very jealous. Really appreciate all the work you put into your vlogs, always wanted to go back and discover more. So thanks for showing us what we’re missing 😎

hi.. yep nice place for sure,, great views .. lovely friendly people .. kool vid,, well done 👍😀🙏

One of my friends goes to Lake toba frequently for holidays and now I see why. I've loved this series

Fabulous series. Never been to this part of Indonesia. Going to have to correct that...

Incredible, so beautiful and yes memories of OK. Noticed the change in your voice, sore throat, same here for me, YUK.!! Feel better. Feel better, look forward to next. Cheers R

Another lovely video! Even though we live here, we still get so excited to see all the familiar places in your vids - the colours really pop from your GoPro! Also great to see Daniel's familiar face - he's such a nice guy and an excellent guide. Can highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tour here in Toba or beyond. Look forward to the next one!

Please keep doing this. Love your vids.

Great videos as always, I never get tired or bored watching them

What a Beautiful Place STL....... Why did you not tell me about this place 20 years ago??? I would surly have gone to live there.... And never left..... Great series of Videos Young Man...... Cheers.... :-))) xxxx

Hiya STL. Your videos always have beautiful content. Love watching your adventures. You sound a little under the weather. Do you suffer from hay fever?. I hope you are keeping well. Then you put subs to say you have a sore throat. Love the drone footage. Epic views on your ride. Teletubbies hills. You will be a pro before you know it. Do you ever worry? Flying it too far away from you?. Gorgeous views. Julie Andrews. 🤣You're not wrong. Gorgeous sunset. The food is so cheap. Great video. Have a wonderful weekend.

Another great video, all the way to the end!😊

Great video, but miss the parrot at the opening. Been watching for 3 years and your voice has changed. Von Trapp family was from Austria, not Switzerland.

Just when I thought 'wow, this may as well be Austria', there you go with the Julie Andrews reference :)

New subscriber...Love, love, love this video series. I'm living vicariously thru you! Keep it up! ❤

Thanks for visiting this place. It is now been added to my list of future destination.

Mauliate godang bang, it means "thank you very much brother" Love your vlog. Very informative.

Hi there, I`m watching all times till the end. You make all vids so great! Thanks for sharing all the infos and so nice pictures. Take care! see you

Another wonderful video showcasing this beautiful area, thank you. aka JG in TX.

Thanks for the views , does look like parts of East BC,

I always watch to the end!! LOL Right now I'm watching from Koh Samui thanks to you. You've become my travel planner.

Great vid, watched to the end.

thanks for a great video

Very nice video 👍🏻🙏🏻

Yea you are lucky too. BC is a beautifull province. I traveled by bus from Vancouver to Calgary. The view was fantastic. I wanted to see Manitoba because it sounds like Toba. I used to joke, I came from Lake Toba, I miss it but now I have lake Many Toba instead :)

Looks absolutely amazing!! The kind of place to go for a big detox from normal life. Thanks Sidie!

Thanks for these videoes. The lake is amazing. It reminds me my hometown where the lake was clean decades ago. Again thank you for bringing such wonderful episodes of the lake.

Side trip..you read my mind..lol when we were watching your video I mentioned to my wife that it looks a lot like my hometown of Kelowna..very beautiful scenery..great vlog.

Come to balige city in lake toba,you can see *F1H2O* 24-26 february.Speedboat racing world will be followed 18 country,if you don't believe,check in youtube or google Its only 2 hours from tuk tuk samosir

Brilliant views congrats STL

Your "Toba" videos are the best place I've seen. I've watched them over and over and I long to go there. Oh I want to go.

Dutchie here! Nice video, been following since 2019.

STUNNING! I ENJOYED MY STAY IN ITALY...HOWEVER YOUR TRIPS ARE MORE "INTUNED TO MY INTREST". YOU ARE LIVING' MY LIFE😳!

Nice video

Thanks for sharing the beautiful Lake Toba STL 💙 What an amazing journey 👌👏 #northsumatera #sumateraisland #wonderfulindonesia

Like the music from the video very much! Thanks

I don’t remember swimming when I was in Toba 20 yrs ago! I think that’s where I bought a few wood carvings though, so beautiful 👌😎

I just don't know what to say except beautiful 😍

Very talented you are Mr.STL. thanks for another great video. I wonder if silangit or Toba would have sea plane/small plane flight to telo islands in southern coast of north Sumatera, would be perfect combination right? Palm fringe tranquil and quiet island with calm caldera lake of Toba in short flight. Paradise.

Hello from Summerland. For sure looks like the Okanagan. I think I even seen some Pine trees mixed in with the Palm trees lol. We leave for Chiang Mai for a month Feb 8th, really excited. We haven't been back to Thailand since the Pandemic. Will you be back to Thailand in the near future? Enjoy the rest of your adventure. Safe travels.

16-25c all year round? perfect climate!!

Definitely reminiscent of the Okanagan.

Great video, thanks.i believe you can access the plateau in the center of samisir island?on bike or foot ,not sure.

Nice one mate……

I stayed in an old batak house like that when i was there 20 yrs ago. Simple but cute…I think it cost $4 cad

Thanks! Do they require 19 Vac for entry to the country ! Thank you for you suoer videos !

Oh man, that meal at Samuel's...

Got some South American vibes in the last part of this video.

agree,look like in switzerland

Watched until 24:00 ;-) That island would be so cool to live for a year or so.

Hey STL! What action cam do you have? love ur style

i like these vids so much better than the boom cha boom cha boom cha vids of the edm music scene and drunken craziness. i'm just expressing my opinion, i know other people probably prefer the young drunken crowds of dance bars and stuff. anyway, good vid and good on ya for moving that rock. you might have saved someone the hassle of starting a go fund me

Good party last night? your voice change :D

How steep are the hills when motorbiking?

The end.

Your voice seems different 🤔

F1 PowerBoat,lake Toba,Febuary 24-26 2023,,,😂

Great vids ! But this doesn't tick my box's . its like the lake district in the UK with palm trees in fact no palm trees! Its the worst place you've been to

Look at you getting all these views on KZfaq. Only a month or two ago you were worried about it.

Why do you sound so different ? Something about your mic?

what's it cost to rent a small car per day there.

SO...HOW ARE YOU CHARGING EVERYTHING...I KNOW THE ELECTRICALS ARE DIFFERENT...?

that spot looks boring.... why would I travel all the way there for that....

Hello from CA & thanks 4 great video on Lake Toba, esp Samuel's restaurant and more details about tour. Wish u would have included Carly & Agung. Take care. Indonesians believe symptoms of cold are caused by "masuk angin" or wind entering your body & making you sick. If you feel comfortable, try a local remedy such "coin massage".

I couldn't see a Instagram account linked, if you could send us a message on ours if had time for a quick chat. Anyway if you don't want to we totally understand, love the Vlogs and your travels.
