As an Aussie who has been to Bali on many occasions occasions my suggestion on scooters is Don’t! Seen way too many accidents.

[@TRTravels]

I laugh when people suggest, hire a scooter, who also have no clue how to ride one 2. I'm aussie 2.

Hey thanks for the video! How can I get a cellphone chip with internet? Does it work everywhere including more isolated beaches and waterfalls? Thank you 🙏

[@camdendavid]

You can buy a local sim card when you land but I recommend using the eSIMs. You'll get the same coverage as a normal sim card. It seemed to work in most of the places people would venture to. But you might not have great access in the more isolated regions. Hope that helps :)

Have you ever thought about going to São Tomé and Príncipe? Its an Africa gem, barely explored, SAFE and beautiful! I never saw a vlog (non portuguese) about that place. Do it please!

[@camdendavid]

I haven't but I'll add it to my list!

[@TRTravels]

If ur Australian u cant get a IDP unless u have a motorbike license. Personally, if u have never ridden a bike, dont attempt to do ur 1st time in Bali. There are no road rules and the traffic is horrendous.

[@mistymyers2417]

Good review. Should I bring IDR or use ATM? How much spending cash would I need for 2 weeks? Thank You.

[@camdendavid]

ATM works great in my experience -- You won't need as much cash as you'd think. Mostly just for parking and filling up the scooter. Most other things can be paid with card. I just made sure to have about $20 USD worth of IDR in cash each day :)

[@mistymyers2417]

@@camdendavid Thank You.

[@TRTravels]

Use cash. Cash is king in Bali.

[@kaunghtikesan3556]

helle can i use cash option in grab when book a raid in bali ?

[@waligora3545]

i will fly with carryon only, how much is sun screen?

[@camdendavid]

Not enough to warrant checking a bag :)

[@GeorgeAnderson-r8g]

How do you wash your hands if you are avoiding tap water?

[@beselsqueletonman]

Bring hand sanitiser like dettol

[@blurglide]

Where should I stay? Both area, and a particular hotel if you can recomend any

[@wnose]

Kuta for party central, ubud for culture and uluwatu for the beach

[@cazza7034]

Is a long term visa difficult to get for Bali?

[@camdendavid]

I haven't done it but I've heard it's a pretty easy process

[@G45and47]

Do you need a motorcycle license from your home country to be covered in case of accident/death to your/someone else or if that happened then potentially oh well, just pay for it financially for the rest of my life??!

[@bv1661]

not traction but friction

[@Triple_T_]

Bali was the most annoying place i ever visit. The non stop agressive houding ypu to buy stuff is very annoying , for me thats not a vacation when every 2 steps you take ppl are hustling you to buy stuff

[@camdendavid]

Which area were you in? Sorry to hear you had a bad experience

[@Triple_T_]

@@camdendavid kuta Beach lol. Wasn't so bad in Ubud

[@akimbosho1356]

​​@@Triple_T_ i am actually considering living in bali for few months, in Ubud. But these videos are slowly putting me off, his video is not that bad, I think its more realistic. Thinking Vietnam, Combodia and Thailand might do.

[@willamshaw6944]

Go south goa nothing place earth is that packed , bali looks paradise by comparison

[@TRTravels]

The Balinese have to make a living. While it's annoying, u have to understand this. Just say no thanks, and walk on.

Hey, David, I m pretty sure that you can speak even faster. Why don"t you try?
