Bali Beautiful! 🇮🇩

My very first solo travel in South East Asia, and it's worth it! I had a great time on the beautiful island of Bali, Indonesia! It truly pays off to pre-book everything you can, research in advance, and stay vigilant to enjoy the paradise while keeping safe, especially for the girlies out there. The people are incredibly nice, friendly, and helpful! Will definitely come back as there is so much more to explore. Thank you, Bali! ✨ Places visited/highly recommended: Gate of Heaven Lempuyang Temple - lucky when I get there, the queue is very short! Only spent about 20 days waiting, I've heard some people have been in queue for about 2 hours. Would recommend going in the afternoon! Tirta Gangga Water Temple - no queue but definitely lots of people, so if you're after a photoshoot with not so many people in the background, go in the late afternoon. Tegalalang Rice Terraces - gorgeous view of the rice terrace. Unfortunately, the rice was already harvested in January, but it doesn't affect the view! Goa Raja Waterfall - a few minute hike off the main road, the trail is well marked, can't be lost unless you wander off the path (not recommended). Lots of stairs, so bring plenty of water and don't rush! Enjoy the lush green view as you reach the waterfall. You are welcome to swim in the manmade pool, but please show respect to nature. Menanga Rice Terraces View - gorgeous view with a big mountain in the background, there are many stops such as restaurants, cafes, or car parks. Seminyak Beach - I've booked my hotel along this beach as I learned it's a best-known beach for surfing and nightlife. The restaurants and bars are all lined up, next to each other. There are so many options, you can rent a beach bench with an umbrella, purchase items from the vendors, and enjoy drinks and snacks while admiring the ocean view. I particularly like La Plancha restaurant & bar. The Jayakarta Bali Beach Resort - I absolutely loved my time at this hotel, I 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a safe, beach front accommodation that has a lot of amenities to offer. The units are well kept, so many rooms to choose from. They have 24-hour restaurant, the food and drinks are awesome, the staff are super friendly and they have a quick service. You don't have to wait ages for your order! They have 3 swimming pools, one of which has a swim up bar! A truly world-class hotel! Will book again! #bali2025 #bali #indonesia
