It was perfect experience! I really loved it! Even though I came alone, it was easy to find girls to hang out with. Food is cheap and delicious, people are friendly! Also recommend to try massage, it’s also very cheap!

I felt very safe in Indonesia. Asia has a huge culture towards respect for tourist and keeping them safe throughout their trip! I felt a lot of peace in Indonesia! It was easy to travel around the country and my phone was broken through most of my trip. Only thing is getting ripped off and charged for prices higher in the streets! But people are always open to negotiate and lower their prices if they know, you know the real price!! Still amazing for food, rich cultures, and the best kinds of travelers I’ve met!!
Posted: August 26, 2025Experienced: October, 2023I highly recommend Indonesia for budget solo travelers. I booked a small bungalow deep in the jungle in the locals area and felt absolutely safe. And the cafes and restaurants level is really high — the food is amazing, but I don’t recommend using door dash deliveries with groceries, they always arrive in the worst condition 🤓

I felt really safe in Bali. I met some amazing people that became my friends. The transports are easy with the app Grab. The food is so inexpensive and so so so delicious. The shops are so nice and they are doing so many beautiful crafts.

I stayed all over the island of Bali and I was most comfortable in the Kuta area. There are pockets of more touristy places as well as a good community of expats. The locals are all very nice, just be on the lookout for all the chaos on the roads with the numerous scooters.

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
