    Hi gracez

    Are you thinking of living here, or just visiting?
    If, as you say, you haven't been out of your own country before, you're in for a bunch of shocks and surprises (some good, some bad). Travelling is like that.

    And if you really look anything like your avatar, one of your biggest "problems" might be where not to live in Bali.

    Although I may be biased, I would not suggest the Kuta-Legian-Seminyak-Canggu axis.
    Sanur, for example, is still relatively calm but not far from "the action". Also not that far from Ubud (another possibility).

    A lot depends upon what you're actually looking for. Which is what?

    Enjoy your adventures.

    Thanks! I'm thinking of living there for couple of months, yes traveling is always like that as expected but i like it tho :) want to go to places like there is a coffee shop near by, where i can go running in the morning places that has easy access when it comes to transportation, supermarket etc. also is it hard to get a job there?

    You need a work permit to get a job here and they are very expensive. You would be unlikely to recoup the cost of it even if you put all your earnings towards it for a year. Also if you risk working without a permit you may well end up spending your break here in jail.
