Went to Indonesia Bali, twice this year! I love staying and enjoying my day there. The local is nice since i speak their language. Eventho you dont speak their language, they still treat you very nice and welcoming. Its very safe as a female to be there compare my time in japan🥲 i was follow twice by stranger in japan but not once in Bali.

Bali
Bali is a safe place to travel, but you need to follow the basic safety rules that apply in any country: do not walk alone at night, do not leave a glass unattended, do not leave with strangers. But in general: the island is very safe, as the locals will always help and advise, the tourists are kind

Batam mostly is a safe city. Most people come here to work. So you can expect most people busy with their work and business. In this city its pretty safe and have a low crime rate. Othen than being a industrial city, it have many attractions and entertainment spots as well

I Think it is very safe. The only dangerous thing could be the dogs at night. The people are very Friendly and do no Harm. I feel safe Here. Only advice I have is Watch out at night for the dogs on the Street. The most of them are just Nice only bark. But there are sometimes ‘crazy’ dogs.

West Nusa Tenggara, Group travel
West Nusa Tenggara has many beaches that are still rarely visited, so they are still very clean, beautiful, and somewhat difficult to reach. Apart from the beaches, there are also other traditional attractions. Although not very big, West Nusa Tenggara has several small islands that are also tourist attractions, one of which is known as the Three Gili (Tiga Gili)
