First Time in BALI, Indonesia! Reality of UBUD in 2025...

Bali is known as paradise, but more and more people are starting to question that, with constant construction, crowds and mass tourism... So what does it really feel like in December 2025? Join me and find out!

In this video, I explore Ubud center, pass by the Monkey Forest, hidden rice fields, instagrammable rice terraces and impressive waterfalls, but also the everyday side of the island. Scooter rides through traffic and jungle roads, peaceful villas, cafés, supermarket stops, gyms and the local people, real moments in between the highlights.

We also talk about what makes this island special. It’s rainy season, so the paradise moments are harder to find, but they’re still there if you know where to look.

What do you think, would you still call Bali paradise?

Check out the Tomtoc backpack I’ve been loving, truly a game changer for travel days and filming on the go!
