Solo travel

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.

It was perfect experience! I really loved it! Even though I came alone, it was easy to find girls to hang out with. Food is cheap and delicious, people are friendly! Also recommend to try massage, it’s also very cheap!

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
