Solo travel experience

Ubud has been my favourite destination in Bali. It's not on the coast and tends to ti be more rainy, however, the vibe is fantastic, especially if you're into mindful living. There are plenty of yoga classes, vegan foods, and massage centres. The hostels there were new and well kept. The monkey forest is definitely worth a visit!
