The Most Overrated Travel Destination:
BALI INDONESIA
Reasons include:
1) Fake vibes and fake locations. Instagram and online pictures will make it seem like places such as Ubud are in quiet villages but the reality is that there is a lot of hustle and bustle in these areas... definitely did not find them to have a relaxed vibe like we expected
2) Lack of authentic culture. Everything feels like it's catered for tourists.
3) Luwak Coffee isn't worth the hype and is associated with lots of animal ethical issues (which I learned more about after my trip)
4) It's overcrowded and over touristy.
5) If you're from the Western hemisphere, the trip just isn't worth it. You can find places with similar experiences closer to home in Central and South America.
6) The food sucks, especially if you're looking for halal options. Seafood wasn't great either.
Now for some pros. The villas are very cheap and worth staying in. I will note that the northern areas are far less touristy. And also... this was my first international trip so some of the displeasure may have just stemmed from my own inexperience.
Agree or disagree?
Let me know what you think.
