Hi. I’m a 42 year old norwegian woman who is seriously thinking of relocating to Bali in the winters. It’s just too dang cold here in Norway! Will be renting and keeping my house here. Only been to Bali once, over 20 years ago so don’t know anything really. Will keep reading old threads here before I start hackling you guys with questions. From what I’ve seen so far it seems like a really good forum!
Hey Hege it's a bit warmer than Norway so bring your shorts. Women are safe as can be here, except parts of the Kuta/Jimbaran/Cangu area - please avoid. The rest of the island is blissfully still Bali. Suggest you travel free and unbooked (check out where ever your next destination is on GoogleMaps and find * rated homestays/hotels/villas in your taste and price range).
Get a good driver with car (should cost around IDR600k/day) so you can relax and enjoy the views without getting too lost. Tabanan is coming along as a destination along with Lovina (seriously died during the pandemic) and of course East Bali, oh forgot Ubud, really only for yoga tree huggers that love rain, mozzis and crowds of Indian tourists (was Chinese but they've all be locked up in Wuhan).
Feel free to ask here for sight-seeing tips and good places to stay.
Enjoy!
