As a bonus
When to go?
You can visit Bali almost all year round. I would still say that April to June is probably the best season to go, right after the rainy season and before the summer crowds, with lush green rice fields and major ceremonies taking place.
September to November is also a good option with fewer tourists, although it’s hotter and closer to the rainy season.
We’ve traveled to Bali at different times of the year and sometimes had better weather in December (rainy season) than in the dry season! Rain showers are usually short and don’t last the whole day.
I would personally avoid January and February, as the rains are usually more intense during this period.
How much it costs?
Bali can be very affordable, depending on the type of hotels and restaurants you choose. You can sleep for €15/20 per night and eat meals for €2/3 each. If you are in holidays and you want a pool, you will easily find a nice place for 40/60€ a night. Here’s a realistic example of a 15-day budget for 2 people:
- Visa: €52,
- Hotels (€50/night): €750,
- Meals (€25/day): €375,
- Activities & extras: €500,
- Taxis & boats: €270,
- Scooter (€5/day): €55
Total for 2 people: €2 000

hey !
We are Mélanie and Stephen
A nomadic travel couple exploring the world for the past five years.
After experiencing every possible travel struggle like cancelled flights, sketchy accommodations, scams and poorly planned routes, we learned how to organize perfect trips without stress or wasted time.
It all started three years ago when we shared our trip to Egypt on Instagram and received an avalanche of questions about organization, safety and local guides. That is when we decided to gather all our best recommendations in one super complete file so you can save time and travel peacefully without stress or bad surprises.

Practical information
We truly want every traveler to be happy with their guide.
But because this is a PDF file that cannot be “returned” or “deleted” after download, we cannot issue a refund without a valid reason. Unfortunately, we’ve seen too many abuses and we need to protect our work and our content 🙏
This is why refunds are only possible in justified situations, clearly defined below.
1. Refund request period
You can request a refund within 7 days after your purchase.
2. Eligibility conditions
A refund is possible if you explain what is missing or causing issues when planning your trip, so we can improve the guide.
What we require:
- A concrete reason with clear feedback about the specific information you’re missing.
What we do NOT refund:
- Requests based on missing information about a destination or step that was never included on the sales page.
(For example: you expected information about Malapascua in the Philippines even though this step does not appear on the map of the sales page.) - Requests without justification.
- Requests based on simply changing your mind.
- Requests submitted after downloading multiple guides in a row and asking a refund for all of them (clear abuse).
- Purchases made using major promotional discounts (over 40 percent).
You can pay safely by bank card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), Google Pay, Apple Pay and iDEAL. All payments are secure and protected
We only recommend places we REALLY loved (collaboration or not!) and we also also recommend places based on all our research (best locations, value for money, ratings on google/booking) so you really don't have to do anything (well yes, just choose according to your available budget!).
Personally, I have always had to read dozens of different blogs to organize an entire trip. Most bloggers only trace what they did and you need to do more research for the rest. Our guides are designed to save you this research time, and have everything in one place, from preparing (visa, business to bring, cash, sim card...) to visualizing your complete itinerary.
In addition, if you follow me on Instagram you know that we are always looking for little-known paradisiacal places, to find ourselves alone. And it's these gems that I keep very dear for my guides, I no longer share precise locations publicly! Not to mention the exclusive discounts that I negotiate and that you won't find anywhere else.
As soon as a guide is purchased, you get all of its updates for free! They will be sent to you by email to the address provided during your purchase.
💡 tip : Keep this email with the download link carefully so you can access the latest version at any time.
The e-books are interactive pdf files (with clickable links) that you can save and view from your phone. It is a format adapted for long mobile devices that can be scrolled like a site. Please don't print it ♻️
Yes, we offer itineraries for all durations, especially for those who only have one or two weeks of vacation.
