During a two-week birthday trip to Bali, the initial excitement faded as crowded tourist hotspots did not meet expectations set by social media. After struggling with traffic and overwhelming crowds at popular attractions, the author decided to abandon the planned itinerary. On day three, exploring quieter regions of Bali led to a more beautiful and serene experience, highlighting the contrast between the expected Instagram perfection and the authentic charm found in less touristy areas.
Unfortunately, my original itinerary was limited by what I'd seen on social media. My itinerary included visits to some of Bali's most Instagram-famous spots.
The landscapes were impressive, but the narrow paths crowded with tourists and selfie sticks made the peaceful vibe I'd imagined disappear.
As our trip continued, I started to question my itinerary. I realized the trip I'd planned wasn't going to give me the best Bali has to offer.
On day three, I headed to quieter parts of Bali and it was beautiful and peaceful.
