Ubud, Group travel
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)

Labuan Bajo, Group travel
Labuan Bajo, who in Indonesia hasn't heard of it? If you are looking for beautiful beaches and seas for snorkelling and diving, then Labuan Bajo is the answer. Labuan Bajo is currently in the tourism development stage, so the cost of getting there is quite high, but its stunning natural beauty makes it worth it. Although the island is small, the experience of visiting it will be unforgettable. Ever hear komodo? Found them in Labuan Bajo

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.

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.
