Bali is been slowly sinking. This time, literally. People getting robbed daylight, villas looted, scooter accidents and poor hospitals. This is what happens when people find out paradise: A huge influx of tourists followed by local deterioration. *Accident Nusa Penida - Sanur.

I used to go to Bali every year, for some spiritual detox in Ubud and amazing times in Canggu. And then I got robbed, they stole my phone from my hands when I was checking Google Maps. Then my friends got attacked. And horrible stories all over FB groups.

Bali can still be an amazing experience if you go to the right regions and escape touristic spots like Canggu. People living long term can also have a good time, as you basically learn how to avoid the problems. But in the end, I’d personally avoid Bali. And Rio. And Lisbon.

As a native balinese, we also don’t like too many tourists and too many people move to bali. Please don’t move to Bali…Just for travelling not to stay here. Please🙏

@astridivelle Dear alltraveller, backpacker, expat,digital nomad.Don’t come to Malaysia. Nothing beautiful here and people are not friendly

I prefer Thailand! Everything is better there: food, beaches, atmosphere…

Yes, I love it here as well. One of the best places in the world to be right now. Bangkok, Phuket, Phangan.

Went in October for 5-6 weeks see what all the fuss is about. Hated canggu. Had a better time in uluwatu and on a few islands like gilli T but in no rush to ever go back. Over crowded massively

Exactly. Ubud and Uluwatu are still doable, but it’s basically surrounded by madness.

@syikinabubakar Aku pergi bali bulan lepas elok je 🥴
