Solo travel experience
I went alone, it's beautiful, safe, and affordable. I stayed in Ubud, explored the rice fields on a motorbike, and took tours to the temples.

I spent one month in Bali, visiting many cities around the island. It was magical, incredible 🤩 People are friendly, respect religious customs, conduct yourself appropriately when visiting temples and holy sites. For transport, I download grab app, you can choose car for long distance and with luggage but for short distance the best way is motorbike. For shopping: just be sure to bargain with the sellers. If you “Bali belly” symptoms, what I had in on the last day, buy the medicine there. The visa on arrival is for 30 days, I made mistake to book my return flights on 31st day. I had to change my flight otherwise should have long procedure for more 30 days visa. Agoda was the best app for find accommodation there.

I’ve been to Bali 3 times, I absolutely love the laid back lifestyle and it’s so easy to get around. I’ve visited the beaches, islands like nusa penida, chased waterfalls and caught the sunrise with a 4x4 jeep at mount batur.

I took my mum to Bali for her 50th birthday. We did not do budget for this trip as I wanted luxury for the special occasion. We did Ubud, Seminyak & Uluwatu. We also did a day to Nusa Penida which I felt was too touristy! We felt very safe in Bali in general & had a fantastic experience. However, I think back packing/less luxury would feel slightly different as there were a lot of people travelling on mopeds etc & the roads were very busy so I’m not sure I’d have felt safe doing that.

Bali was beautiful, especially the beaches. There was a lot of Asian and Thai restaurants there. The island was gorgeous and there were numerous activities like, kayaking, scuba diving, hill walking ect.

I have done a lot of solo travel and one of my favourites was Bali. It’s very safe and inexpensive. I spent a few days on the beach in Seminyak, went diving in Padang Bai and spent a few days doing yoga and hiking in Ubud. I did an organized sunrise hike up the volcano as well. It’s a magical place. Would highly recommend it.

Honestly expected so much more. I was led to believe that Bali is like one of those ~paradise on earth~ kinda place. The entire place felt like a tourist trap. Ok so first of all, there’s no walkability anywhere 😩 which makes it relatively hard/hassle to explore some streets. The traffic can get pretty bad even when you’re already driving a scooter - especially in Canggu, there’s just too much people😭 It’s not a place for R&R, I would recommend people to go if they’re looking to socialize and party because they are definitely big on that. I must say tho- they do have pretty fun parties but that’s it lol. Comparing the actual beaches that they have to the beaches I’ve seen in the Philippines, I would rate Bali’s 2/10 IM SO SORRY DJDJDK. The views in Nusa Penida were really nice but going through that amount of travel on the roughest roads and suffocating boat rides just for a minute photo op was TRULY not worth it for me. The views were really pretty but PERSONALLY not life changing 😀 But yakno, for the plot I guess 🥰 Bali Belly is also very real. All of my friends and I got it at some point during the trip. IV Drip worked and easily cured it in literally hours but it was kinda expensive and just felt unnecessary to experience all that lol.

Breathtaking nature all around! Friendly locals in the outskirts, although we were scammed a few times within the town. Beautiful culture, food and history. Safe for solo travellers when careful!

I went solo to Bali for two weeks and loved it. I did not stay in kuta seminyak etc areas because I’m not into that beach party scene. I first went to amed, then lovina, then ubud (and it felt really overwhelming at first because it’s certainly very busy) and gili air and spent one night in Denpasar at a locals house before flying out. It was really nice.

Bali is one of my favourite places that I have been and will always hold a special place in my heart! From jetskis, to temples, to exclusive rooftop restaurants with pools over looking the beach. It is such a magical place! I brought home some of the Tumeric tea from the coffee museum, it was beautiful.
