Bali, Solo travel
Perfect location for a solo trip. I met a lot awesome people and made some friends for life. Be a lil careful at night time. I had one sketchy experience with a taxi, but otherwise i felt really safe and had the time of my life. Everyone were very friendly!!

Batam was overall lovely, but my group wasn’t as creative as we could’ve been. We had a lovely guided trip around the Island, our guide Winner was hilarious. The food was 🌶️🌶️🌶️, but I am Norwegian😅

Bali, Solo travel
This was my first real solo trip (i have traveled to places alone and met up with people before) I didnt know it was the start of rain season but I didnt mind the rain. The temperature was always nice. Felt very save with the locals but did have one experience at a hotel where one of the staf members wanted to have a midnight Swim with me. Told him no a couple of times but he kept insisting. I went inside my room and he knocked on the door a few times before leaving. I left this hotel earlier...

Ubud, Solo travel
Ubud has lots of beautiful hidden gems, its not just the monkey forest and a single rice field! Loads of great food, particularly if you are veggie or vegan. Its a very safe location and so easy to get around as you can get scooter taxis on Grab pretty much everywhere

On the very first day, my bag with documents and money was stolen at the beach right from the surf spot. The thieves are strange because there were headphones in the bag, and I was able to track them, but still—don't leave your belongings even in places that seem safe.

As a woman, I personally feel very safe in Bali. People are respectful, the atmosphere is calm, and there’s a strong sense of community, especially in Ubud. That’s one of the main reasons I decided to stay a bit longer.

it’s usually safe, but overall Bali nowadays a bit scary if you go outside in the middle of the night like around 12-4 am. i encourage you to avoid the quiet place and never go alone. if you are insists to go outside in the middle of the night, please use a car instead.

Semarang is a very safe place to stay as a woman, I was never bothered by any people during my stay, people often ask for pictures with you but nothing more :) I do recommend not going out late at night and always tell someone where you are and what you are doing just for more safety
