Why Choose Bali

Bali is a tropical dream island with sunny beaches, cultural temples, and family-friendly attractions all rolled into one. It’s got super chill cafes and cheap eats too. According to Indonesia’s tourism board and Tripadvisor data, Bali is expected to attract 8 million visitors in 2025, with Taiwanese travelers especially loving the dry season (April–October) sunshine and bargain hotels. Whether you’re bringing the kids to splash around or taking your parents for some downtime, there’s something for everyone here. I just got back from a trip and I’m completely obsessed with the beaches and the food.

My take: Bali is the kind of place where you relax in a heartbeat. Sunlight hits the beach and your mood instantly brightens. The only tiny downside is the monkeys are sneaky—I almost got my phone snatched, haha.

As usual, before we dive in, let me introduce myself real quick since not everyone knows who I am.

Subscribe to Rational Travel, Keep the Guide in Your Pocket

Rational Travel’s real talk: I usually send out money-saving tips and other tricks to subscribers first before publicly posting them weeks later. That way, subscribers get first dibs to snag deals before they’re gone, since a lot have time limits and quantity caps.

If you’re used to buying and selling miles or scouting expired hotel deals on Facebook groups, I just launched ‘platform-managed, pay-after-use‘ Easyticket, which is now free for my subscribers.

P.S. Subscribers get not just complete guides but also permanent commission-free access to Easyticket. It’s free right now, but who knows when I’ll start charging. You get it. Current subscriber count is close to 2000 people (throwing confetti).
