Bali, Family travel
My daughter and I had a lovely time while we were at Bali, we stayed for 9 nights, but that wasn't enough. We're planning to go again soon. The Balinese people were very friendly and all positive.We meet and talk to people from all over the world .Bali nights were fun. The bad part was the mosquitoes were much and the local restaurants were looking dirty but we went to restaurants where all the tourists were.If you like surfing 🏄‍♂️ its absolutely fine.

I loved it there, so many activities, so many amazing cafes and open spaces to remotely work from. I liked the yoga community there, they are very welcoming and open and active! I’m even planning to move there for a longer period.

Loved everything!!Beauriful people, places, food, vibes everything!!Some waterfalls were not upto the mark but it was beautiful! Need a vehicle to explore for sure, cos everything is so far off! Loved the artefacts, carving and vegan food options

Bali’s safe. But I think it’s hard to met some people in this destination. Book a tour with a local guide to see everything from Bali and not only the touristic things. You can do a lot for nothing there.

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)

Pontianak
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.

Everybody is nice with me here, and surprised to see a young white girl. Manado is not a touristic city, but I never felt unsafe. (I was with an Indonesian man untill now, so I'll update if my safety change while being alone woman)

At night some areas poor street lighting and sidewalk or pedestrian paths are limited, which increase the risk of pickpocket or road accident if you're not careful.

I feel very safe here, you can walk around at night and no one is suspicious or intimidating. the local people are all very friendly and help if you need to ask for directions etc. right now it's also kinda off season so not very crowded and still you feel comfortable

It's generally a safe place.There always the regular occasional breaking and entering like in any place in the world. But I feel more safe here than in many places. People are friendly and not predatorial like you can feel in other places.
