I've never been abroad yet. Maybe Indonesia will be my first destination outside China. what do you think of Indonesia? which part do you like or dislike?
There are lots of volcanoes in Indonesia, and much of the time one or another of them will be emitting fumes and ash - like Sinabung on Sumatra in April this year. Small eruptions may be a problem in a certain area, but outside that area you can just travel around and have a good time. I have looked down into an active volcano in Nicaragua (Masaya), and I have been close to others that continually emitted smoke - for instance in Tanzania. However there are also big volcanoes in Indonesia. If a large volcano has an eruption then not only the Indonesians will feel the effect.
The volcano Krakatoa between Sumatra and Java exploded in 1883 and left just fragments in the sea, but it polluted the atmosphere all over the planet and caused lower temperatures worldwide. The left-overs have however growing into a new volcano called Anak Krakatoa (son of Krakatoa), and right now there are signs that Anak Krakatoa may cause an eruption as big as that of Krakatoa.
But that shouldn't keep you from visiting Indonesia.
