Truth

🤷‍♀️🥹😡 A Little Tough Love from Your Sanur Soul Sister…

Can we have a gentle chat about scooters in Bali?

Because this is the one thing…
the ONE thing…
that makes me quietly hold my breath every single day 😬

And it’s not the locals.

It’s us.

The visitors. The holiday-makers. The “I’ll just rent a scooter, how hard can it be?” crew. 🧐

⸻

🛵 Here’s what I keep seeing…

Sunburnt shoulders.
No helmet.
Two friends, sometimes three.
Big smiles… zero experience.

And I get it. I really do.

It feels like freedom.
Wind in your hair.
Cheap, easy, everywhere.

But Bali roads are not your quiet suburban street back home.

They’re more like… organised chaos with a side of “what just happened?” 😅

⸻

‼️🚨Now for the bit we can’t ignore…

Motorbike accidents are one of the leading causes of tourist injuries and deaths here.

👉 In 2023, there were 7,466 road accidents
👉 655 deaths across the island

And a big chunk of that?

Tourists who:

• Don’t have the right licence
• Haven’t ridden before (or not in years)
• Skip the helmet “just for a quick ride”
• Or… mix scooters with cocktails 🍹 (never a good combo)

⸻

‼️🤷‍♀️ And here’s the kicker most people don’t realise…

If you don’t have:

✔ A motorbike licence from home
✔ AND an international driving permit

👉 Your travel insurance often won’t cover you.

So that “cheap and easy” scooter?
Can turn into a very expensive lesson… very quickly.

⸻

🌿 Let’s be real for a second…

Locals grow up on these roads.
They understand the flow, the rhythm, the unspoken rules.

We… do not.

And that’s okay.
But pretending we do? That’s where things go sideways.

⸻

💛 This isn’t about fear. It’s about respect.

Respect for the roads.
Respect for your safety.
Respect for the fact that you’re in a completely different driving environment.

Hire a driver.
Grab a GoJek.
Take a taxi.

Honestly… arrive alive and slightly less windswept. It’s a win 😄

⸻

✨ I’d love to hear your thoughts…

• Have you ridden a scooter in Bali?
• Did you feel confident… or slightly terrified?
• Do you think tourists should be restricted from renting them?

Let’s talk 👇

Because Bali is magic…
but she’s not the place to learn how to ride a motorbike 💛🌺

With more than 1.5 million Australians flying to Bali every year, Jetstar's new offering will likely be a hit among travellers.

‘Terrified’ Aussies are cancelling their Bali holiday plans as unease over the Middle East conflict intensifies.

25/02/2026

DON’T CANCEL YOUR TRIP TO BALI!

Alright … let’s have a real chat for a moment 💛

You know how when you see one cockroach in your kitchen and suddenly you’re convinced the whole house is infested?

That’s kind of what’s happening right now with Bali and the weather reports.

I’ve had so many messages from followers saying:

“Should we cancel our Bali holiday?”

Because yes…
It’s been raining ☔
Yes…
Some parts of Sanur and Denpasar have had flooding.
And yes…
Storm footage always looks like the end of the world when it’s on the news.

But here’s the actual feet-on-the-ground, sarong-on-the-clothesline truth:

🌴 Most of Bali is open, operating and welcoming guests as usual

Local authorities are already managing the few affected pockets — and life across the island is continuing pretty normally (with the occasional wet sandal).

Right now in some parts of Sanur:

• There’s been some localised flooding in low-lying areas
• Winds are a bit wild — don’t park under trees (Balinese coconuts have excellent aim 🥥)
• The sea is rough — so water activities might pause for safety
• But this is not island-wide

It’s patchy.

So if you’re due to visit soon — please don’t cancel.
Just travel the way with a smile and be:

✨ A little flexible
✨ A little informed
✨ And a whole lot kind

Because here’s the part that really matters…

Bali runs on tourism.
When visitors cancel, it’s not big corporations that feel it first — it’s the drivers, the café staff, the spa therapists, the warung owners… the families who rely on this season to support their children and parents.

So if you’ve got:
🧳 A bit of space in your suitcase
💰 A little room in your budget
💛 Or simply the willingness to show up

Coming to Bali right now is one of the most beautiful ways you can support this island and its people.

Your morning walk along Sanur Beach with coffee and a croissant along the way.

That supports someone’s school fees.

Your massage?
That helps a local family with groceries this week.

Your holiday still matters.
And yes… it will still be magical 🌺

Come anyway.
We’d love to see you here.

Sanur Soul Sister 💛🌴

My lovely place, my paradise. Every step along Sanur Beach feels like a gentle escape.
