I would definitely suggest having a driving license is a plus because the best way to get around a place like Bali is with a motorbike. Definitely be cautious of your surroundings because it is a new environment. However, I would also advise them not to worry too much and to enjoy themselves as much as possible.
I usually woke up around 7 in the morning and the sun was already shining. Then I would eat, have coffee and get ready. Once I was ready, I would walk to the farm which was a 25min walk (I suggest going with a motorbike) and I would be there around 8am. Then I would do some gardening or help around with whatever was needed. Afterward, I would go back home and see if I could help with anything in the office, if not then I would enjoy my free time. In the afternoon, around 4pm I would go back to the farm and teach the local children conversational English. That would end around 5.30-6pm and then I would have more free time.
I mostly feared if I would be and feel safe since I was a young girl traveling by herself. However, once I have arrived and the people who lead this program showed me around and guided me to where I needed to go and what I needed to do, I figured my way around and how to get to places. Honestly, at no point did I feel unsafe and that made me even happier.
I think that a very useful thing to know when traveling to Bali is the application called GOJEK. You can order food from it or a ride whether it be with a motorbike or a car. I’ve used it countless times to order food and get around since I don’t have a driving license and it’s quite affordable. It’s definitely worth a download!
