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.

“I really loved Bali. Unfortunately, I stayed in the same area the whole time because I didn’t really know where else to go and I mainly went there for boxing. I would definitely recommend Bali as a solo trip because I was riding around on my own all the time and I’ve never felt that safe before. Nobody really bothers you, which is really nice. Bali is generally quite cheap but I stayed in Canggu which is more of a fitness area so it’s quite overpriced there. But overall it’s definitely a great destination if you enjoy sports.😇

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.

If use simple rules for safe like everwhere in the world then it’s ok. Here lots of foreigners and lots of tourists traps. But if u read and explore Beto come here about all typical stuff then it’s ok.

Bali is a safe place to travel, but you need to follow the basic safety rules that apply in any country: do not walk alone at night, do not leave a glass unattended, do not leave with strangers. But in general: the island is very safe, as the locals will always help and advise, the tourists are kind
