I use both of these companies depending on the destination and requirements of entry. If you are going to be abroad for a long time and/or don't need as much coverage, I would recommend SafetyWing. BUT you cannot purchase SafetyWing WHILE in Canada or USA. You can only purchase once already abroad. Hey Mondo is more expensive but offers a higher level of coverage including plans that have trip cancellation/interruption insurance. Hey Mondo would be the better insurance to use if you need travel medical insurance when applying for a visa. Both companies cover covid.

Hi Alinaa, Executive class is not the first class of Indonesia railway transport. There are still several upper classes above the executive like luxury class (sleeper), priority class, and tourism train. But these types of class are only available on few trains such as Argo Bromo Anggrek (Jakarta Gambir - Surabaya Pasar Turi), Bima (Gambir - Surabaya Gubeng), and other flagship trains. If you have any upcoming opportunities, I recommend you to try Luxury class. Have a nice trip in Indonesia. :)

You will get the booking code or QR code that you'll need for printing the boarding pass at the station.

God i’m so happy. finally i found foreigner reviewing indonesian train like this way, i mean since you said in the intro that you really like shinkansen, i expect the way u review whould be like japanese (focusing on the train facilities, the scenery, everything bout the train, put some captions to explain and lowering your tone when inside the cabin). Well, i guess i should subscribe your channel
Hello Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a super marvelous day! This is really a wonderful fantastic excellent video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇮🇩🚈🥇💯💫✨🌟 The Executive class on the train looks really nice!

Great video Allina.. im javanese but live at jakarta. Several places arround yogyakarta are 1. Prambanan temple just outside the city 2. Parangtritis beach and other nice beaches surrounded 3. Mount Merapi 4. Borobudur temple 5. Yogya palace at the downtown area

Hi Alina, The commenter below is correct about the classes of railway travel, It depends on the line. Harriet and I traveled executive class. The food was ok. We too when to Yogyakarta. Walking around can be a little challenging. You just have to be careful. So glad you made it ok. Feel better, enjoy your stay there. Love you dearly 😍😍😍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.

Hello Alina, I started watching your videos a few days ago, and I found out who you are in your videos. How interesting your life is. Well, now you are in Indonesia, "welcome to Indonesia", the country with the largest population after China, India, and America, a country that is diverse in culture, language, ethnicity, and religion. I hope that soon you can find the uniqueness and beauty of this country as interesting as your life. Enjoy your trip! 🙏
Indonesian Canadian here from southwestern Ontario. The last time I took a train in my “former” country may be 25 years ago. What a difference from what it is now! Seemed like you’re pretty exhausted, may be due to tropical heat (better than freezing cold here in Canada?). Drink plenty of H2O, that should help. Enjoy the trip and post more videos.

Hi Alina. Hope you are keeping well in Yogyakarta. I was there 4 years ago for a conference and it was an amazing experience. Visiting the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan, and the surroundings, etc. It was something simply unforgettable. Enjoy your trip!!!! Look forward to your new video. And enjoy Indonesian food!!!!
So you are now in Banyuwangi, the eastern tip of the island of Java. If you want to go to the island of Bali, you have to take a ferry to cross to the island of Bali. Enjoy your holiday in Indonesia.
You can rent a motorcycle to visit around Yogyakarta because the scenery are so stunning in there and to easily access that, use a motorcycle 😁
Wonderful video Alina, as usual! This train travel is really fantastic. I wish you all the best and take care. Thank you very much for sharing.
that Daffam's hotel have an awesome sky bar tho
Alina.. a higher train class available.. priority class and sleeper train..the price is around $70-100..maybe you can try it later..when back to jakarta.. and as a traveler..it mandatory to take supplements to boost your immune system..at least vitamin C..easy to get at drugstores or convinient stores..Redoxon and EnervonC are supplements that are commonly consumed by indonesian
FYI, the highest class in Indonesian train is Luxury class where you could get seat like in plane business class.
Alina this is such a superb review. Stay safe and be well. I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks!!
Hi Alinaa...welcome to Indonesia. I hope you enjoy your visit. Thanks for your video.

Happy to see you made the trip OK, but you do look a bit tired. Please make sure you get some rest before you venture out, a long trip on a train does seem to take more out of you than doing it another way. Looks like a lot of people used the same plan, so the dream of a relaxing trip was not fully successful, but you are always a good sport in your travels. Stay safe, keep smiling and always know we always are thinking of you in your travels. Cheers!! ❤👍😊 BTW - we sent you a message on Patreon with an update.

Nice video Alina, actually there is a higher end from the executive thats called Luxury Class, that also available on the route to Jogja. And as you mention at the begining of the video, the employee that greets you away as your traim leave Gambir is the porters of the stations. Hope you enjoy your stay at Jogja and other cities in Indonesia
Before you visit Jogjakarta actually it would be better of you come to Bandung first just about 2-3 hour from Jakarta, such a beautiful place knonw as Paris Van Java. Europe vibes the temperature is not as hot like Jakarta.
Awesome video Alina 😊👍👍
Greetings to Indonesia my grandfather is from Surabaya! :) Love from the Netherlands!

You should try top level class, named Priority class. One seat in each row.
Really enjoy the vlog ❤
welcome to Yogyakarta...i hope you enjoy every moment of it..🙏🥳
Have a nice explore in Indonesia. I miss my Jogyakarta a lot😣
Love to see your vlog. Welcome to Yogyakarta
If you love Sea or Beach, It is recommended to visit Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat and many other beautiful beaches spreding all over Indonesia
I once took a third class train across Java. It was INTENSE. It took 24 hours because the higher-class trains get priority. There were more people than seats. There were animals on board (goats etc) and it was very dirty. The toilet was a hole (of course no toilet paper or flushing and I don't think there was even a sink to wash hands since people could use water bottles) and there were people sitting and lying in the aisles everywhere. No food on the train but hawkers would get on at various stops with everything you could need-food, drink, even pillows.
Glad to join the journey with you.. Waiting your next video
Awesome video of your Executive class train trip Alina. I especially liked that you showed us quite a lot of the countryside through your window as you went by it in the train. Thank you for doing this and I hope that you got some much needed rest. Take care and above all stay safe!
