Bali: orientation and trip preparation

Bali is an entire island, not a single city. Ubud is inland, while Canggu and Sanur lie on different stretches of coast.

What to check here

Do not judge a whole island by one location. Map accommodation, daily errands and your arrival point separately. Check which trips involve a substantial journey and which are possible on foot near home.

Neighbourhood, housing and daily routes

Compare two actual addresses, not two attractive listings. Map each route to groceries, your workspace and transport. Visit in the morning and evening. Check daylight, noise, ventilation and connectivity in the accommodation, and record which expenses are included.

A budget for a trial stay

List housing, bills, connectivity, groceries, transport and other recurring expenses monthly. Keep travel, baggage, temporary accommodation and setup purchases separate. Record a refundable deposit separately as money you need available even if it is later returned.
