Errybody in the club getting tipsy
Did you ever know that you're my hero
Hey you guys What is up?
Welcome to my YouTube channel
If you haven't been to Bali before
and you're planning your first trip I wanted to share my tips on
everything I think you need to know as a first-timer
that said, this is just my opinion and I'm a bit weird so I don't know
maybe this is the worst advice on the internet
Seminyak is really good
It's kinda got a little bit of a classier feel to it
beautiful villas, great resorts Canngu is more of your low-key surfers like
what is up? lets go eat some abundance bowls
all good in the 'bud
I love Ubud because it's more earthy
we're talking lots of green rice fields, and jungles and rivers
all the falafels you can poke a stick at
two places I don't think anybody should stay
Kuta and Nusa Dua
That's a little bit controversial but I'm going there
Look, obviously I don't mind a drink
But I also just don't like that over the top party scene
I want to sleep in, sweet buffet breakfast just a nice chill zone
Kuta for me is not a chill zone I also don't recommend staying in Nusa Dua
because it's too chill It's like the opposite end
It's hotter than a Victoria's Secret model up in there
You're pretty much able to live in like a kaftan,
a sarong and your swimmers the whole time
make sure that you pack things like a hat,
flip flops they're going to be fine, girls sandals that kind of thing
maybe one or two, maybe a dress like this
like one dress like this if you go out to like a nice bar
or a place that does a really nice dinner but that is it
there are heaps of places to go
Ku De Ta and Potato Head Beach Club and stuff like that
they're great I even write about them on my
blog why not One of my favourite places is Old Man's
There is also a great cafe in Canngu called Little Flinders
They do amazing coffee and really good breakfast
You also absolutely 100% must eat from corn man!
its real cool its like this little light and
it's corn, just corn and he's like grilling the corn and he's gonna
make it all smoky and barbequey
my favourite place to eat is a place called
Bumbu Bali B U M B U Bali
je ne sais quoi
getting hungry just thinking about it
if you're heading up to Ubud I strongly recommend you check out the Tegenungan...
Tege...nun....gan... the Tegenungan Waterfall
The Campuhan Ridge Walk
that is a really cool hike that you can do in Ubud
that'll take you up to some really beautiful spots
greenery, great sunsets
ah! ow! oh why?
Mt Batur is a volcano, it is...
I don't know if it's active or not?
I went up there I didn't bloody know I didn't think to ask that
I could have died
It's alright I had travel insurance
you lug your big booty up the side
you sit up there and you watch the sunrise and look, I hate hiking,
that is actually pretty cool
If you are a little bit more adventurous,
you really want to push yourself on your first time
I recommend going to Nusa Lembongan There is a little island off the coast of
Bali and you can get there really easily
There's something you are going to need to learn about
the hag life!
300,000 rupiah
whaaaat?
200,000, 15,000
you might get to a point where there's a stalemate
where he's locked in at 80,000 and you're
locked in at 40,000
if your man ain't treating you right
you gotsa bounce
You're gonna need a visa
But you can sort that out on arrival so that is dead easy
Just make sure you have some US dollars or even some rupiah on you, and check the latest
visa requirements and costs
transport! transport!
just prepare yourself for it, just know in your mind
like when you step out of that airport it's going to be a hectic experience
book yourself into a hotel that has an airport transfer
that's just going to make your life easier if you're not doing that, and you're on a
budget you go to the taxi booking stand and tell
them Yo, I'm going to Seminyak...
You get to your hotel, don't freak out there are going to be lots of security guards
they're going to be checking the car for bombs don't spaz out, just keep it real,
keep it composed be like Meryl Streep at the Oscars
just ummm, just wrap it up
if I had to give you one tip on one of the
best places to stay or the best accommodation it's a private villa
look it up, private villa's are actually really affordable
and one thing i would definately recommend you do as a first timer
is get down to the beach
there are usually, little bars set up on the
beach and by a bar I mean like one guy with an esky
or a cooler box or whatever you call it and some plastic chairs
drinks are cheap, catch the sunset, sit in the shade
chat with this local guy who runs the shop ask him questions, get some tips, recommendations
they are just the loveliest people the guys that run these stores
it really goes a long way if you learn a few key local phrases
one that you are really going to have to know is satu lagi
Dua lagi... they'll know what you mean Teri ma kasi is thank you
and sama sama means same same You could also drop a little
Yo, shorty what's up? What's that thing do? If you really want to avoid Bali belly
just go vegetarian You like, you need to know that you can't
drink the tap water Unless you are a professional scooter rider
and or a member or Nitro Circus, don't do it
you're not coordinated, you don't know what you're doing
you're going to cause a whole lot of problems and you know what? travel insurer is going
to be mad and so is your mum
