Without a doubt one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in my life, Samosir Island in North Sumatra is truly one of a kind. For nature, for food, for rich local culture (and personally, there's even incredible cycling here too!), I would say this is a place that has it all when it comes to things worth traveling to find.

This is LAKE TOBA Day 1.

Visiting with my family here in early 2024, we actually came after a change of plans, how lucky we are to have such an "accident" as to visit Lake Toba. My best friend has always come back to stories from a trip of his own, and so I have always had it in my mind to someday try and visit for myself. Now that these stories are almost 15 years old, I can still say that there is every reason to remember, and now I myself will never forget!

Today is a short video, we are doing a ton of stuff and working a lot (both jobs full-on right now), and so I will thank you as always for being so gracious as to watch, maybe even send us a comment, and be ready for the next video next week Monday.

There will be 4 videos in total from Lake Toba, and I cannot wait to share more of the scenes and stories as we go. For now, be well, I hope this finds you smiling!

Love Joel, and Li.
