•First Post• This city is called Manado, located in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This is the most populous city in North Sulawesi making this city as the capital city that has more than half a million inhabitants residing here. It's a friendly city serving as the welcome gate to the land of waving coconuts. Although it's not the most beautiful city in Indonesia, the city is ranked top 5 on human index development score in Indonesia. This city is messy but it is surrounded with amazing places like beautiful beaches, magnificent volcanoes, national marine parks, tropical rainforest, incredible natural reserves and ancient living historical places. Places to live? I personally suggest you to live in a beach or island resort for some incredible experiences. I suggest you to look it up on Tripadvisor for some reviews! How to get to North Sulawesi? - There are several domestic routes from Jakarta, Surabaya, Denpasar (transit Makassar) and other cities to Manado with Garuda Indonesia, BatikAir, LionAir, SriwijayaAir, and some other domestic carriages. - There is one international flight

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Sulawesi during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time travelling during COVID-19  you'll notice plenty of new restrictions and standards in place. Take note of these tips and make your escape to Sulawesi go off without a hitch:
  • Know the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so remember to check before you book your flight.
  • Wear a face mask even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity.
  • Avoid handing your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on luggage. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning.
  • Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Putting it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to handle and inspect your belongings.
