[@Phil-kb8ql]

95% of tourists, including Travel Vloggers, who go to Bali stay withing a few km's of the airport, maybe 5% of the island. Kuta, Seminyak, Nusa Dua, Denpasar, Canggu. They maybe get "adventurous" and travel the 20kms to Ubud for a day or 2. They stay in a western hotel, eat in western restaurants, shop in western shops and malls, and get drunk every day in western bars behaving disgracefully and embarrassingly. Then go home and boast about their cultural experience in Bali. My advice is get off the plane in Denpassar and go anywhere else for real Bali culture and experience. North to the mountains, lakes, waterfalls, beaches around Lovina. Or go to the North East (take a boat to Lombok or the Gili islands), go to the West side of Bali. 90% of the island you will see very few tourists and it has the most beautiful untouched scenery and locals not jaded by drunk westerners trying to bargain 10 cents off a Bintang beer T shirt.

[@ScottRoy1]

I wish I would have read this 5 days ago... I knew it all along though... Lessons learned Phil... Lessons learned

[@pakde8002]

Phil unfortunately that is changing fast with KZbinrs vlogging the last secret place in Bali and GPS. In 2010 hardly anyone went to Nusa Penida but seems one day one of the many tourist at lembongan looked over their bintang at an island nearby and said I wonder what's over there. Next week it's flooded with Chinese tourist. I wish they would make a tourist zone in Badung and not allow anyone to go further out until have a cultural training class.... never gonna happen but to say that Bali has anything unspoiled that is open to tourists is a bit of a stretch. Love Bali and Bali people and NOT living in KUTA for 9 years.

[@ScottRoy1]

@@pakde8002 totally agree. Mandatory cultural training would be amazing

[@Dfgzx12xyw]

Well said Phil.

[@BeccaHedegaard]

I´m not a vlogger. But went on a solo trip to Bali a little over a year ago and made a video on it. It´s on my channel. I tried to explore and go beyond the tourist places. Someone said it was the most realistic Bali video he have ever seen :)

[@Scoutarella5168]

Bali is worth the hype, it offers something for everyone. What is sad is the lack of respect shown by some tourists to the people and their culture. Western civilisation wanting newer bigger hotels is changing the landscape, more and more rice fields are disappearing for 5 star senile resorts. The appreciation of a homestay or older 3 star is the true bali.

[@WheresPoppy]

Paul Eddy Totally Agree!

[@pakde8002]

Paul Eddy the losers are the average Balinese people... tourists can always go somewhere else but when Bali is finished being ruined for the natives they don't have anywhere to go and their unique culture will never be seen again in this world. It's truly cultural genocide and the people for the most part just passively or even actively submit to their fate.

[@adventuroustravelearth5493]

Awesome and truthful comment. We are staying in a combination of homestays, villas and hotels. We are also very respectful of the Bali culture

[@adventuroustravelearth5493]

Many tourists @hellos grog

[@258jhut]

Well, it's definitely overrun by vloggers, that's for sure. I think KZbin has a rule requiring all vloggers to make a Bali video. There are 17,000 other islands that I wish some vlogger would go to. Bali has become so cliche.

[@nintendolover114]

So true, it's the "hip" Spot to be at the moment and unfortunately I was fooled by all the highly filtered professionally taken videos and pics on the internet

[@ScottRoy1]

I'm not a vlogger, and I only have a cheap Sony phone I bought in Vietnam. What island do you want to see? I need somewhere to go to....

[@JoshEdwardsFilms]

@@nintendolover114 yup. Nailed it. This is the problem...everyone's flocking there under the illusion it's tropical paradise. The reality is alarmingly different

[@ADVENTURECAMPitelli]

We are in Bali right now. Day 4 and can’t wait to see even more. People here are so friendly!

[@JamesBTravel]

So happy to hear you say that waiting in line to take a photo is 'not why we travel'! So many other KZbinrs and Instagramers think that all travel is about is 'getting the shot' and that's such a negative approach to travel. Thanks, as always, for sharing your inspiring travel stories!

[@WheresPoppy]

Oh man it drives me crazy! haha

[@jurgenhuber4867]

It's been years that I've been last to Bali, but I just need to see a few seconds of footage about Bali, the rice paddies, the people, a temple, a few houses, to get nostalgic and homesick. I've been places, but Bali simply is a most amazing spot in this world.

[@WheresPoppy]

Agreed, love it!

[@tukangsampah103]

yeah it's definitely worth the hype. It's definitely filled with tourist, but that's not a problem. It's the perfect getaway spot. So much great beaches, great party spots, great restaurants, on the other hand, there's plenty of spots if you want a quieter vacation. Definitely not overhyped.

[@andrem4877]

Man I almost cried last time I went to Bali, the rice fields from my childhood are now a concrete neighborhood and the beaches are too trash filled to swim in :(

[@pakde8002]

andre M I have a painting I did in Canggu in 2010 of the fields beside the funeral grounds near pasar semat sari as viewed from the elementary school... but my painting it's all that's left of the fields full of ginger Lily. now a 3 story something or other

[@Angela-vj4jr]

thank you so much for this poppy. I will be going to Bali once I pay off my student loans this year. Two years from now that is my plan.

[@WheresPoppy]

Angela Nice! That will feel so great once you pay those off!

[@mnraiders8546]

Bali is worth the hype! Its defintely not overrun by tourists, i was around locals most of my time there and they were all friendly people. I would return for sure!

[@calebvdk]

I was super disappointed with how much trash there was all over the beaches in the south, but I fell in love with Ubud and anywhere north of there. Currently in balian beach living my best life

[@nyantsuki1061]

calebvdk then just do a favour and leave this beach clean !!!!

[@lololucas4031]

calebvdk well you were there when the season of trashs was in every year for few weeks and it clears again....

[@davidj6547]

Awesome footage and narration Poppy...and you're absolutely on point that connecting/interacting with the locals is one of the most amazing experiences...keep the travel vlogs coming, they are 👍...🙂🇨🇦

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you DaViD! Will do!

[@houseoftyrell1544]

Thank you for sharing your Bali experience Poppy because most people tend to show their western lifestyle and less appreciate the culture and the locals.

[@WheresPoppy]

Robin Arryn Thanks Robin :)

[@senjahari8941]

Bali ( mount , lake , waterfall , rice terrace , beaches , culture , amazing hotels , tamples )

[@marilizelegajuana8887]

If you're kind of lazy traveller, yep bali is the best place for you but if you're quite adventurous and a 'beaches freak' then "raja ampat" would absolutely in your bucketlist. Raja ampat indonesia is ALOT BETTER than Bali when it comes to nature

[@ScottRoy1]

Hmmm.. Noted. Thanks,!

Too expensive to travel

[@aremania]

I love the way you hanging out with martini..what a humble family she is❤️

[@WheresPoppy]

aremania they are great!

[@samuelwyner6935]

This reminds me a lot of my experience in Santorini. Lots of tourists, but I still met some amazing locals and even found some secluded beaches where I really took in the island's beauty. Hopefully my experience in Bali will be similar when I eventually visit. Great video!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you Samuel! Nice, yeah locals are really what make the experience memorable in my opinion

[@diegotam9700]

I agree with all that you said! Just leave Bali after a month and I can't wait to go back!

[@WheresPoppy]

Nomadic Photosophy yeah I love it!

[@danis1977]

All tourist these days that come to Bali do exactly the same thing, they all go to Ubud, Canggu and Nusa Penida / Gilli T. And they all think they are killing it. Sheeple Canggu is the new Kuta.

[@rachelmcrae6504]

Thanks for the awesome video Poppy! I travel to Bali alot as it is the closest flight from Perth Australia and have always wanted to get more involved with the locals. Thank you for showing me your homestay, I am very keen to try this out on my next trip 😁

[@WheresPoppy]

MyLifeAsRach Thank you! Awesome, yeah you definitely should try it! I loved it!

[@AntonioBTC]

It's changing a lot because it is overrun by tourist but most definitely the locals are the best, i think if you wanna go Bali go now because it's getting to that point where its overrun by tourist. IMO Lombok is amazing too with way less tourist!

[@WheresPoppy]

Antonio yep agreed. Except Lombok is still recovering from the earthquake, still worth visiting yeah just good to be aware

[@mrc6182]

I'm very curious about Lomboc post-earthquake. Has it recovered as well as Bali?

[@redeyeimages]

@@mrc6182 i visited Bali and Lombok in october, 2 months after the earthquake. Yes there were damages in Mataram or Sengigi beach, even more if you go more north were we left Lombok by ferry near the Gili islands. In the south you don't see much damage and the people were very friendly. They work hard to fix all damages, but this will take some time.

[@Si_nengatcha]

@@mrc6182 the earthquake epicenter WAS in Lombok. it means Lombok suffers more than Bali...which means it'll take more time and effort to fix Lombok. The damage ini Bali was minimal compare to Lombok.

[@RespectOthers1]

Tourists are much needed income generators for this area so let's hope they get the maximum number of (sensible) tourists they can comfortably accommodate. Perhaps your lovely Bali vlogs have already contributed something towards this cause! :D

[@WheresPoppy]

RespectOthers hopefully :)

[@ScottRoy1]

Sensibile being the key word here... Sadly, doubting it.

[@0Flow0]

You'd think that the prices are going up because of all the foreigners. I hope that doesnt affect the locals in a bad way.

[@starlingwatch3921]

This is an amazing video - so well written, produced, edited. Touching. -Frank

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you!

[@shereens1463]

We were there from 10 to 19 December 2018. We stayed in Simenyak. It was worth the hype. Absolutely breathtaking, well worth it and the people are just stunning. The word servitude comes to mind. These people have so little and yet they come to work with a smile on their faces every single day. It's a must on a bucket list I will go back. It's best to go before the 20th December after that it's their busy time.

[@TravelwithTommy]

Bali & the surrounding islands of Nusa Penida, Lembongan, Ceningan and Gilis for me is still one of the most interesting place to visit on earth. Gorgeous beaches, beautiful temples, traditional dance performances, fabulous rice fields, amazing selection of private villas with pools, outstanding resorts, wedding chapels, lakes, waterfalls, nice cafes, restaurants, white water rafting, beautiful mountains and of course wonderful and friendly Balinese people. This is one of the destination that I keep going back to. ( as a bonus : one of the few places on earth that you still can freely fly your drone ).

[@WheresPoppy]

I loved Gili Air, so beautiful and peaceful, perfect getaway!

[@toughlovethemoviemystory.3278]

Australia, best beaches most diverse landscapes 40,000 yr old art works unspoilt beaches.🇦🇺 We don’t have a rubbish patrol every morning along the beach strip either!

[@antitroll98]

Yes bogans and aussie teens. Don't visit Bali anymore. We have enough of you already. We see same Aussie faces every year.

[@mrc6182]

Thanks, Poppy! Having to follow various other arrogant, ignorant, and self-entititled Americans into foreign countries makes me appreciate those like you all the more! As far as overcrowding, that's a fear of mine in that area as well. At this juncture I'd be more curious about Lomboc, though I've no clue if its recovered from the 'quake as well as Bali. Other countries, though ... Between overtourism (the Chinese are all over the place these days!) and jerky expats, some former favorites like Thailand no longer appeal.

[@kiwijohn9250]

I love this video poppy. I couldn't agree with you more. I'm often asked why I keep going back to bali and my first answer is always the people. I have wonderful friends there a I miss them so much. Keep up the great work

[@WheresPoppy]

Yep, the people all the way! That's how I judge my favorite countries.

[@Soloadriantraveler]

It is what it is. A cheap holiday. Hawaii is still the king of beach and sunsets but you have to pay for it in US dollars instead of Indonesian Rupees.

My eldest daughter, who's 27, will stay on for another week - probably in Canguu. We want to go to Gili Air for a few nights. What do you think, is Gili Air worth visiting? We won't be hiring motorbikes i Bali. Thanks for your helpful tips.

Best video on Bali I’ve seen. Can you name the beaches per the type of water? Love the clear turquoise

I am Balinese myself, and I wanted to help you 😉 Crystal Green = Sanur, Green Bowl, Padang - Padang, Labuhan Sait, Nyang-Nyang, and Nunggalan Turquoise = Pandawa, Gunung Payung, Dreamland, beaches in Nusa Dua, also probably some beaches around Padang Bai area(bcs I have never seen them through my own eyes). FYI, most of Bali beaches are have black or grey sand, spreaded across the west, north, and east part of the island

[@SebastianGracaDaSilva]

Thank you for this. I have been living here for 7 years and I have seen a lot of change. This luxury BS and towns that have become just tourist places are kind of nuts and give you little idea about this island and its culture. If you are looking for the beaches, rice fields and waterfalls you can find them all over Indonesia and southeast asia, but it is this culture and way of life that is so unique and different to anywhere in the world and really what makes this island so interesting. I wish more people would see this and understand that travel is more about people and culture than the places to take a nice picture. Please continue to share this message with more young travellers like yourself. Much Love

[@WheresPoppy]

I completely agree! I wish more people made videos about the culture and traditions, especially since they are so open about it. They love when people take videos and pictures, as long as you are dressed in the traditional clothing you can participate!

Bali was ruined 40 years ago, I was one of the first visitors to Bali back in 1971 when Kuta Beach was empty with one restaurant, a tin shack called Poppies who served up magic mushroom omelettes. There were only a couple of guest houses on the only dirt road to the beach and the beach was empty. Then all the rituals were real and completely free, now its all fake.

[@WheresPoppy]

Marc van Turnhout No I don’t, they don’t ask you for money here to hangout with them. They would only ask if they are trying to sell you on a tour. I mean if I hangout with someone it’s because we genuinely connect or want to get to know each other

No. You give them money for them to feed you or house you. You don't pay them for saying hello to you. They aren't beggars.

I've been wanting to go to Bali for a while now, but the idea of all the tourists is holding me back... Just don't like places that are too touristy. If I go I would def do a homestay as well.

[@GoYvon]

Then stay far north, northwest, far west to avoid the big crowds in the south and ubud. Or visit nusa penida.

[@ScottRoy1]

The tourists are disgusting. Try some other part of the island, but don't expect to be surrounded by western options. The number of AirBnB reviews I saw of people complaining about gecko poop or ants... Seriously... Like... Do you know where you are? So. Yeah. You don't want tourists? Don't be a tourist.
