Loved Indonesia, had the best time ever. We went to komodo dragon island, pink sand beach, did snorkeling and saw a massive turtle and beautiful fish. Went to a monkey sanctuary in Bali. Got food poisoning in Bali. But overall I loved it. Locals were so warm.

My favorite thing about Bali was the wellness culture communities. I haven’t seen those quite so extensive anywhere and would love to. Bali itself felt a bit like a tropical nyc so that did take away a bit from the experience. I understand the last 3 years it has gotten a mass influx of people. I share because it was just such a surprise.

I was back in Bali for a month recently after living there my whole life, and it’s such a beautiful place to come back to, and always more to explore. My favorite part is the amazing restaurants there I grew up with! Some of my favorites are Rize in Pererenan and Ubud, and Plant Bistro in Ubud.

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

It's relatively safe. You can be scammed because it's a touristic area: locals can ask abnormal amount of money for very simple service, so always ask the prices in advance before you will take anything. Also bargains are fine. Sometimes men could approach you and ask for a photo. In one situation my friend one stuck on the road because of her bike and the local guy stopped to help her. But unexpectedly he started to masturbate. Which is crazy. So she ran away. Once a grab driver started a convo with me how good is his sperm. So men here like everywhere. If you ride a bike just be careful...

Even though Pontianak is the capital city in her province, Pontianak isn't very friendly for foreign travelers who travel alone. The taxi driver always tells me that I need to pay attention to robbery, and in the night the city will become a little bit unsafe.
