Bali is a very positive, peaceful, and spiritual place! 🧘🏾‍♂️🕉💫 FYI... You attract the energy that you put out, and your experiences reflect that! Your whole energy, aura, and vibe in very negative, SMH!!! 🚫❌🙅🏾‍♂️ #ItIsYOU

Your video automatically played for some reason. I've traveled to Bali for an extended period of time about a year+ ago, and as someone who has been to many countries across the world, Bali was definitely an amazing and therapeutic experience. I would suggest booking an Airbnb Experience for a tour guide/photo pro. That's what we did and the experience was top-notch. I felt like I hired a professional videographer who went above and beyond to take photos and videos the entire time. We never felt like we had to beg/ask. I also think it depends on who you get. I would double-check and confirm that they are OK with taking photos etc. I hope you'll have a better experience with your tours in your future travels.

I traveled to Bali solo and the majority of tour guides/tours didn't want to do a tour for one person. Asking me to invite folks or charging single supplement and more for gas. I found a woman tour guide who I hired for the day to take me around. Fresco food was delicious but once it rains it pours and sorry it was an off day. 🤣😂🤣Cigar bar with no cigars. Chile, I couldn't even deal with the ferry and going to Gili T with the coordination. Met some folks who said yeah do it another time cause it's a hassle. My inn owner says I could leave my bags and go but I wasn't feeling it. I'll do at another time. Bali/Ubud is rural and dirt roads, like Mayberry. Traffic is a beast! Took me 2hrs to get to the airport. I did enjoy the locals and how I felt a part of the community seeing them daily. But baaaby, them darn monkeys drove me crazy🙊 🤣😂. Bootleg snarkling 😩awww Lawd!! I wouldn't travel from USA just to go to Bali. Definitely would couple with another country/city. Too far to travel just for Bali. Thanks for sharing YOUR experience because I rarely hear anyone talking about the challenges in Bali. It's the swings, beach clubs, and flower baths and resorts. Appreciate in the moment emotion! You hung in there and handled it well. The photo are annoying if you're not interested and it happened while we were talking!!

Haha, I saw your shorts on the monkeys in Ubud! Luckily I had not issues with them while I was there. I agree, the traffics is a beast in Ubud! But our experiences with the tours are similar! I never had so much difficulty or just a lackluster experience on tours before in my life! As solo travelers, this is what most of us look forward to. The experience on the ferry to and from Gili T was CHAOTIC and overall NIGHTMARE! You made the right decision on excluding from your Indonesia trip. Everyone wants to keep showing the bubble baths and private pools, villas. You don’t need to go to Bali to get that. I came for the cultural experience and thankfully I did get that in Ubud. But it was horrible everywhere else when I left Ubud! Thanks for watching!

@@tashajourneys The 🛀🏽 bubble baths 🤣😂🤣😂!! I love learning the history and cultural experiences. It's disappointing how they treat solo travelers and I understand it's about profits but it's exclusionary.

What are your thoughts on visiting Ubud? The culture, temples, waterfalls, etc. appear very interesting.

She had a horrible experience. Damn, sorry to hear that. I went to Indonesia back in 2013 and I had a wonderful experience. I went with a group and had a great tour guide. I went through Real Gap Experience, they were excellent!

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear about your experience in Bali. My first tour guide in Bali was great. Thank you Amansuka for a great time! I wish I chose him for all the tours. My second tour guide sounds like yours. I generally found that the people in Bali were gentle and kind, it was the people from outside of Bali that were annoying. They had paler skin and were probably from China or Korea. Next time they want pictures I'm going to start charging.

Thanks for watching! You may have a different experience. I just don’t think it’s worth it to fly alllll the way from the USA to see. I have a part one to this as well. If you go…really know WHY you’re going because it’s expensive and a long flight…but very inexpensive once you get there.

Maybe he didn't understand what you were saying. It helps not to speak so fast that your words all run together. I'm an English speaker, and at some parts, I have a bit of problem understanding some of what you're saying. Watch the pace and enunciate. I also dislike when anyone takes my photograph without my knowledge or consent. If told "no" and they continue, then that's disrespect.
