Bali
Bali is the nomad lifestyle sold as a destination. Beautiful, social, and built around remote work culture. WiFi can be unreliable outside coworking spaces, and traffic is genuinely terrible — but nowhere else looks like this.

Connectivity & Getting Around
SIM Card
Telkomsel (Simpati) is the most reliable. 100GB for ~$12. Buy at airport — avoid resellers.
Average Speed
20–80 Mbps. Coworking spaces are reliable; cafés are hit or miss.
Getting Around
Scooter is essential. Grab works in most areas. Traffic between Canggu and Seminyak can be brutal.
