I went back to Nusa Dua this year to give it another shot and actually really enjoyed myself. Maybe my first resort was just a shitty one. Either way, you will have a great time... enjoy yourself xx

[@SheldonandJessTV]

Awesome Video. Love the energy in the video and we both love your quirky personality. Matt and you do a great job at composing the shots and the look and feel of the video. We love Bali too and recently put up some Bali videos on our new Channel too. Quick Question - Whats the background soundtrack that you are using in this video. Is it available online to download or buy? Would love to have that track for one of our upcoming videos. Keep up the great work that both of you do together. Cheers Sheldon & Jess :)

[@littlemoon114]

Nice song Best video

[@travelforphoebe]

Hello! Thank you so much, we really appreciate the kindness and support! Phoebe x

[@christianlowery5910]

thank you for these tips!!!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank YOU for watching, Christian :D

[@nonotyo1534]

So pretty

[@youngcrippen]

Hi there! Love your vids. I have a wee question if you dont mind. What would you recommend with regards to currency? Am I right in thinking that pre-paid cards aren't used in Bali? Is it better to bring hard currency? (Feels a bit risky!)I'm travelling from Northern Ireland.

[@travelforphoebe]

Hello! I'm not sure, to be honest. We just take money out at an ATM with our bank cards and pay cash everywhere we go. Thanks so much for watching - have a great day. Phoebe x

[@mdsaadmohdsoffi1502]

Good job for your team... thanks

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you 😀🙌🏻

[@junebug7923]

Hi can you recommend an all inclusive resort. Do you recommend staying at a regular hotel and purchasing food outside. Is food expensive?

[@travelforphoebe]

Hmmm, I've only stayed at one, it was Inaya Putri in Nusa Dua. There's lots of great food in Bali so I do think you'd probably be missing out if you went with all-inclusive, but that's just me, I like to try lots of different local food and restaurants. Food in Bali can be either cheap or expensive, just depends where you eat and your budget. Thanks for watching :D

[@mdsaadmohdsoffi1502]

Next time if you gonna come to Malaysia please visit Kedah. There's a mountain full of crystal and many else my friend

[@travelforphoebe]

Sounds like a trip! 😀

the cat is cute... mmuach 😻

[@travelforphoebe]

Thank you!! She's a real cutey :) Thanks for watching

[@olivergloor567]

Hi, cool video! I have a question. I am going solo, but I really don't like hostels, not even a single room in a hostel. I need my privacy and also a bit of "luxury". Thought about renting a private villa. But my key question is.. is it possible to meet people that way? I don't want to stay alone for 3 weeks. TIA!

[@travelforphoebe]

+Oliver Gloor I’m the same, Oliver :) hmmm you could still meet people at restaurants and bars and on the beach but I did feel a lot more secluded staying at a private villa. A beachfront hotel or resort might be more social. Villas tend to be tucked away and a little far from the social areas.

[@vineetvaryani7077]

You look beautiful... I am going in December this year so your tips will definitely work.. between I finished your counting views to 660..

[@travelforphoebe]

+vineet varyani hope you have a great trip 🙌🏻✈️☀️ thanks for watching 😀

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks so much for watching :)

[@jessicaulliartha6919]

Hello, I like this video so much. You tell us about Bali, Indonesia. That's my country. lol. By the way, I would like to correct something little bit wrong. Yes, "Terima kasih" is "Thank you". But for " Sama-sama", it is not "same same". lol. "Sama-sama" has the same meaning as "You're welcome" :) Thank you

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks so much for watching, Jessica :D xx

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@sandechoir]

you are really beautiful when i heard sama sama its really funny words cause translate into a bit similary in English

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks so much for watching :) It really does sound similar hey, like, 'same same'

[@AmritP]

hmm seems like decent tips there, doin my research only now and my flight is in 5 hours :D wish me luck haha

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha! I wouldn't worry about it, you don't need to do a lot of planning to have a great time in Bali, fun just kinda finds you :) Have a GREAT trip!!!

[@AmritP]

thanks, that's so true and typical about Bali "fun just kinda finds you" haha. Just got back now and gotta say i had the absolute time of my life. I've travelled around Europe a fair bit and ofcourse my home country of New Zealand but there is absolutely nothing that compares to Bali. Nice tips, though i did ignore the bit about the scooter, it was an amazing way to get around once I got used to how chaotic it was though i still found it a bit unnerving at times (and this is from someone with a motorcycle back home) so can imagine why you wouldn't recommend it to people who haven't rode before at all. Kuta was hectic but I ended up loving it , perhaps because i discovered a part of myself and how much i love nightlife, as i never do go out much at home. Ubud and Canggu were awesome, and i definately recommend anyone who goes to also spend some time in Gili Trawangan, absolute gem of a spot to relax or get in to water activities.

[@travelforphoebe]

I'm so happy you had a great time - it's such a unique place hey, I've never been anywhere else quite like it. YES! That's exactly it, if you've never ridden a scooter before, I don't think the streets of Kuta are the best place to learn hahaha :) Thank you so much for stopping by again, I'm so glad you loved Canggu, Ubud and Kuta. Gili Trawangan sounds awesome, I'll have to go next time.

Too chill is a good thing baby. =)

[@travelforphoebe]

I feel awkward

[@SKKrypton]

i planned to stay in melia bali at nusa dua by the way, what is the controversial thing about nusa dua? i never heard of it.

[@travelforphoebe]

haha the controversial thing is just that most people love Nusa Dua, whereas I found it a bit sterile and soulless on my first visit. Buuuuuut I stayed there on my last trip and loved it, mostly because the resort was awesome :) Have a great trip and thanks for watching

[@norhafizah9831]

SKKrypton no

[@kakeskkd]

I’m interested to know where is your accent from ? Not a typical Aussie accent

[@travelforphoebe]

Hello! Thanks so much for watching 😊 there are lots of variations on the Aussie accent 😀 Mine is from Queensland, which is usually quite a laid back Aussie accent haha O guess mine was influenced by going to school overseas and having people in my life who aren’t from Australia 😊 have a great day! Phoebe

[@kakeskkd]

Thanks Phoebe, love your videos & hope to see you vlog in India sometime soon 🇮🇳

[@travelforphoebe]

One thing to include is that it is very humid.

[@travelforphoebe]

That’s true! It can be very humid! 😓 thank goodness there are some gorgeous spots for a swim to cool down 😀 thanks for watching!!! 🙌🏻🌴☀️

[@schenkerKL]

Disgusting taxi service from Ngurah Rai airport to hotels along Kuta beach. Yesteday I paid IRP200,000 from Bali airport to Lusa Inn which is less than 4km. A local fren later that day mentioned that I was ripped off because the usual taxi fare should not exceed IRP85,000. My advise is that when those of you planning a trip to Bali, book your taxi service online along with air tickets provided by online travel agencies such as AirasiaGo, Agoda, Traveloka and etc. Sharing is caring.
