& feel quite safe. It is no more dangerous than anywhere else in the world. I am a single woman & I have never felt scared being on my own in Bali. I just smile & shake my head if being asked to take transport or look in a shop, even at night.
Safety is a state of mind. You can take every precaution in the world and still get hurt or killed no matter where you are or what you are doing.
I don't allow fear to rule my world & I have had the best time in Bali (my 14th trip). Fly out tomorrow night - I'm devastated!
