The Bad Side of Bali | Robbers, Accidents, & Hackers .. Solo Traveler Vlog! 

I'm very sorry you had such terrible experiences during your first weeks in Bali, I hope everything has been good after such a rough start! Thanks a lot for sharing the raw truth as well. Stay safe and enjoy lots brave girl 💪🏼♥️

thank you for sharing this.. bali is not only about beaches and waterfall.

I as an Indonesian living in Bali, feel very ashamed of what happened to you, I hope this doesn't happen again and you need to be accompanied by good local people... I hope this doesn't happen to other foreign tourists too.🤝

It is so helpful your sharing this I haven't been before but want to go and now I can be aware and cautious more so. I'm sorry you went through these things, take care girl

Thanks for sharing your experiences 🙏🏻 I’m sorry all these happend to you 😢 I’m going to Bali soon and I needed to know what to be careful about l, I hope these things don’t happen to me 🤞🏼

Thanks for sharing. I am also solo travel in Bali now. As solo traveler, I have run into uncomfortable situation too. When you started to live here long term, things become different than the resorts, beaches and happy hours. I hope everything is good now.

You are so sweet, positive thinking, and grateful... I am sure those bad experiences make you a stronger and beter person....👌

oh no...i'm so sad heard about that...we"re really sorry, stay safe and carefully.., dont be sad any more my honey...love you

You are very brave young beautiful girl, thank you so much for the story. Covid situation is driving people to a total madness but even before Covid people did many bad nasty things. Every country, every metropolis present a danger to a single female traveler (and not only females) Guys disappeared in Australian outback too, there is lots of horrific crimes in Australian cities too, like a big spike. I was a single female traveler in the past & will never ever travel by myself anywhere anymore even in Australia because strange (tnx god not life threatening) & nasty things happened to me & once to my daughter when her drink was spiked (maybe twice) Tnx god we survived 🙏 🌺🌴🌸 🙏🌺

welcome to my Indonesia... nice to meet your channel your channel is beautiful ...

I came to Bali like 2 weeks ago, to Canggu, and I will never come back to Indonesia. Yikes. Got scammed at a store and bought broken headphones, asked the guy for a refund and he threatened to call the cops on me! Just harassing unconscious motorcycle taxis everywhere. Most disturbing thing for me though was, LOUD CONSTRUCTION NOISE all day every day. It's rough. So much good about this area too. The beaches were amazing, the people are super nice, and the food was amazing. I know it is uncomfortable, but applaud your bringing awareness to some realities. I would never have come for so long if I knew what it was really like. Now I know. I'm so thankful I get to travel, and that I don't have to come back to Bali again. I like that you said you'll be a better traveller. Me too.

Oh no. Sorry to hear that. Generally Bali is quite safe, but it does not mean that there is no crime. Just be careful……I myself used to live in Bali for 2 years before pandemic and haven’t experienced any bad stuffs or anything, except 2 car accidents. Enjoy Bali.

Thank you for sharing. Stay safe

Overall Indonesia is fairly safe (including Jakarta), but its a myth that Bali has no crime and that all crime is committed by foreigners. I realise that this sounds counter intuitive, but don't take advise from Indonesians, they have no idea what it's like to be a foreigner living in their country. Indeed the other myth is that all Indonesians love westerners and that we are their welcome guests.

Stay safe gal...and i experienced where my room door bell rang around 2:30 am by a stranger n it freaked me....

Damn girl I travel all the time and always worry about girls traveling alone. Please stay safe!

You'd better report it to the villa owner... I hope you're more careful for now, some RU-vidrs have stolen their stuff. if you travel, be careful with your cellphone, keep it in a safe place... big love from Bali ❤👋🤗🤗👍❤

Hello girl, I have arrived in Bali a month ago and I am also a solo female traveler. I’ve felt very safe until today, I was running in the rice field near my house, and a local guy on a scooter came by me and grabbed my ass and left… going to the police station tomorrow to report it. It’s sad because I felt very safe :/

Thank you for speaking out. Your story is harrowing. Do you think that some areas of Bali are safer than others? What advice can you give when it comes to selecting accomodation?

No 1 😊

I found your video today after a long search on RU-vid of the dangers of the so called “paradise” 3 weeks here and something bad had happen to me in every single location I have been. I am a regular travel and in Bali is the only place that it happened this to me. I am seriously starting to think that I ignored some signal of RU-vidrs; and started to check videos of this topic. I think there should be more. It’s been horrible, these people are huge thief’s and the crime is basically legal here. So disappointed

Wellcome to Indonesia

Thank you to stay realistic during this time with Bali. The truth is, this small island isn’t save at the moment .

Goodness. Sorry you have to experienced all that. I had the same experience in Rawang Kuala Lumpur Makaysia when trying to do WWOFFING. Its a long story. To make it short, I learned to never stay in a single house ever again. I will either stay in a hotel. Or a rented place where there is other room with other people and tenants. And property management and staff. That way if I got safety issues, I can always talk to someone. I learned single solo traveller staying alone in a big property is so dangerous. Bcz when I screamed for help at that Rawang place, when someone entered my house and trying to break into my bedroom, I screamed for help, nobody came. Luckily there was another door going out from the bedroom, so I could ran away. So I learned to never stay in a single house alone by myself.

So sorry for what happened to you dear. I believe you're a good person. You should move to a safer area. I believe if the bad guy got caught by the villagers, he would be messed up and be processed to the authority.

Welcome to Bali Indonesia 🇮🇩

oh gosh, Im sorry that you had this traumatising experience in Bali, I hope it doesn't deter you to have a good time still. Report this incident to kepala banjar ( chief of the village ) where you live so they are aware and will try to investigate and keep the neighbourhood safer. This pandemic time has really brought the worst economic downfall and this is the result now

Be careful in bali,i visited for first time when iam getting into cab ,robber stealed my chain i got injured and fall down severe injuries,when ur bali any day will happen so many robberies there

So sorry this has happened to you. My one tip would be to email yourself (preferably more than 1 email in case something happens to one of your emails), all your favourite videos and pics in stages or dates or months or areas in the subject line..so you will always have them in your emails if u lose your photos. All the best take care

I, as an Indonesian, apologize for what happened.. I hope it doesn't happen again and the most important thing is to always be careful because if you are not careful, wherever it can happen, not in Indonesia.. so be careful looking for another villa that is safer..

Have never been to Indonesia because I knew back in the 80s

Brave person

“I didn’t know anything” …. Sums up the video lol

Every country has a crime rate. Pre covid I was in Kuta Bali. 3-4 Indonesia boys were stealing phones. It was said they were from Jakarta.. so as a single traveler especially females you need to you need to be alert at all times.

A biker snatched my chain in broad daylight. The very next day, Inside a shop, a guy selling dresses in Seminyak tried to grab my purse, but luckily, I managed to exit the shop quickly. Bali is not safe. Stay vigilant all the time.

Sorry about you :( Subbed btw

I went sufing in bali about 25 or more yerars ago ( I'm old!) and it wasn't any different, same stuff happening, thats life, its nothing new, not some unusual circumstances, its unfortunate but its a dangerous world out there, why not find some travel companions to travel with? much safer way to travel

Very nice: The explanation is very informative. My name is Darío Mendoza.

be careful, stay safe, it could be happen anywhere over the world

fisrt u have to called the owner of the villa and then u can go to local police to share ur story and keep save cute

We really apologizes to what happened to u .......because covid everyone lose their job........some people doing bad thing..... The good news is you still oke n still.smile......

what. !!! wait for me I just finished my karate lesson I am on my way to your villa. Be careful never forget to lock all the doors when you are inside.

Yes I am sorry its happened to you, but I think it could happen every where in the world, my friend has been robbed when his in Paris , France so the important thing its stay safe dont going ouside in the night time alone,.. ok stay safe, stay healthy and God bless you!

❤️

I hate Bali and wont set my foot there even on free ticket!! Thanks for the video.

I got robbed of my phone in Bali and there were a lot of people but I got robbed and the police didn't help. 😢

Dont dismiss burgars so lightly. An Australian woman was raped and shot in her villa by group of burglars. Don't stay there without male company

so sorry to hear that.. yeahh.. better choose your place to stay carefully... communicate with the host ask to detail and ask if you can get his number.. . that what i always do to all my guest at the moment their checkin in...give my business card and my private number..

Get right into what you want to talk about. NO NEED to stall or apologise. Just take a deep breath and list why you will never go back, one reason right after another.

Another youtuber got robbed by the owner security guy. He realized that he is missing money from his valet daily based. He put the valet out on the table and turned in a camera. Guess what ? The own security person was taking money out from the guy valet. He posted the video on the Ubud community. Stay safe and be aware on your surrounding.

Info for readers: If you're dressed like a tourist and have a bag, I suggest you put the bag under the seat and dress more appropriately as to not attract unwanted attention. Put phones in a pocket and out of sight. Use common sense. Bali is not a place to learn how to ride a scooter. If you're not familiar with this type of travel, I suggest Grab or Gojek. Unless you can find a quiet place to practice properly and have someone to guide you, don't just rent one and not expect to have an accident. Always wear a helmet. Use common sense. If you're logging onto WiFi, I suggest using a VPN or secure network. Again, this is common sense. If you are a lone female traveler, I suggest staying within a tight-knit community or a hotel to begin with. Once you've made friends who you can trust, perhaps moving close by would be an option. My recommendation to people who are traveling, whether Bali or not, is to reflect on you own actions first. Are you using common sense? Are you putting yourself in harm's way? Would you do these things in your own city? Message for the blogger: apart from the mystery visitor and perverts following you, the other factors mentioned had absolutely nothing to do with Bali. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your trip.

Thank for sharing the experience❤❤ Greetings from java🇮🇩

You are a bad ass thanks for sharing

I visited Bali 2 days before. Bali is not a safe place to visit. Chain snatching is very common now a days in Bali. I met some Indians where they lost their gold chains. Also there is no law and order in Bali. Police is not at all active.

can happen anywhere, creeps are anwhere. But you said: "Hellooo, can you please leave"...in the deep night... Woow that is the fartest left of the react spectrum. I would totally go mental, and bark or something. Always yell, always...

You are strong and brave. However, you need to be in another area of Bali. The universe is speaking to you and don’t push it by thinking you can be stronger than the universe. Sanur is nice. Be safe 🙏🏼

You have to tell people off, when they do bad things, even if you are a guest in someone's country.

That’s the reasons I never been to bali, even I’m male, my friends got robbed literally in daylight street. One girl has fall down on the street during walk and local lady have her hand to help stand up same time stole her iPhone. Another friend trying show the driver address on his phone and the driver grab his iPhone and left… Bali looks nice only on pictures, it’s a bunch of drugged neighborhood kids and russians scammers. Some version of it can be noted in Phuket as well recently.

Criminal are everywhere around the world, I had bad experience in Rome, at the colleseum, my camera was stolen and my buddy lost his wallet. My nephew was robbed in Paris. Believe me Indonesia, specially Bali is one of the safe place for tourist. Please check the crime rate index of the world.

You need pepper spray, a stun gun and or a knife as a female solo traveler. Preferably pepper spray is better because you can spray from a distance.

Pliss upload with subtitle,i am sory,i am not understan you talking about. I am From Indonesia Kalteng.🇲🇨

You are very lucky probably the best piece of advice I can give you is to scream as loud as you can it is the best for attention

Worst country bali we had bad experience chain snatched and badly injured

homestays, villas, Airbnb, hostels....NO NO NO. I've heard so many stories. you better find a hotel since you are a solo traveler.

So sad hear this experiance .....

Thats a terrible experience, I don't think you did anything to invite an intruder, these guys might not be looking to do you harm but they are desperate don't try to attack unless you are under physical harm learn how to get away from the situation it sounds like you did the right thing by remaining calm and asking them to leave you will never win a fight against a desperate person even if you are a mma expert they have nothing to lose Id rather lose my laptop than my life. Dont have you bag around your neck on your bike either my friend got dragged off his bike luckily he survived with minor injuries this was before covid bali has always had a crime problem.

You can buy Pepper spray and a stun gun off of shopee for personal defense

I too will never come back Bali again. Keep getting scammed by taxi drivers.

If you had to drive at night alone please cover yourself to look like a man ... it will minimize the risk ... it is a hard time today ... a lot of unemployment ... just be carefull ...

Percayalah indonesia tdk seramah yg dipikirkan indonesia bkn negara aman

next time ,do not say please.say I need you to leave,say it in a firm voice.

Sorry to heard that , might be you need a private bodyguard , i am willing to be 😘

Malaysian and Philippine islands are far more clean and beautiful than Bali.

If you were in the south side of Chicago and the intruder was black, you would have had a very bad outcome, but there's not many black people there I Bali so you should be pretty safe

Clickbait. Amazing how influencers either want to portray a place as 'absolutely perfect' or 'dark and dangerous' just to get people to your channel. It's so selfish and ridiculous and honestly just predictable.

Went Bali in 2018 with my wife we stayed in 4 different hotels we used private drivers and made sure drivers ID was sent to hotels we stayed in we had a good experience but I wouldn't go back it is kind of over rated in terms of beauty there is plenty of dark places and people there like any other place hope you are ok and well
