Where Do I Start..
This book is AMAZING! And a much needed purchase for your trip to Bali. While this is not my first solo trip to a far off land, this is my first solo trip to the other side of the world and I must say, this book (and Alexa!) put me at ease of all my worries and concerns. The book starts off with all those questions you may have right in the beginning - and she was right, this isn't a book that's written in a way that feels like you're reading a history textbook. She writes as though she's talking to you over a cup of coffee. Talking about Bali weather, what to pack, the culture norms, how to budget, what to avoid, things to know, how to prepare, and from the airport. She then takes you on a ride through many options for staying/eating/planning trips, etc. And last but not least, at the end of her journey, she settles you down with a list of Balinese food and what it is, to learning conversational Indonesian and what apps to download before you go. This book answers questions I didn't even know I had. And gives support in all the right spots. Trust me, it's totally worth it! PS, after purchasing the book I contacted Alexa on Instagram - she responded within 12 hours and answered all the questions I couldn't find in the book. Like, yes, you might want to stay a night in Amed if you want to see Pura Lempuyang from Ubud. She's awesome.
Wonderful book! Useful information & great advice!
Visiting Bali for the first time in a few weeks to attend a wedding & decided to purchase this book since I added a few days after the wedding to venture out on my own. Oh, I borrowed other Bali travel guides from my local library that has fancy color photos and lots of history, but this guide (and the author's encouraging words!) has me less anxious about traveling solo in a country I have never been before. I'm now looking forward to trip even more and know that if I had read this book before I purchased my plane ticket, I may have extended my stay another week (or two!)
She is the gal who you want to travel with
Miss Alexa! I recently purchased her first book, Thailand: A Solo Girls Travel Guide. I love the way Alexa really puts her heart in it. She is the gal who you want to travel with. So why not take her book along. You can only get tips like this if you have actually lived there. Not just traveled but really LIVED there. And it shows. I have been to Bali and stayed for a bit. However after reading her book, I may have missed a few things. She makes me want to go back and re-do my trip all over again. ;) Take this book. Mark it up. And take that trip! Just don’t forget the book. xx
Practical and useful
I have bought many travel books in my time. But this is hands-down the most practical, useful travel book I have ever read. I leave for Bali in a few weeks and I feel this book has totally prepared me for my trip. She also breaks it down into different budgets. Which makes it easy to find accommodations. She also runs a Facebook community of women that travel solo. This community has given me such great tips and advice. I'm telling you you cannot go wrong with these books. Thank you Miss Alexia. It's obvious you put your whole heart into your writing.
Best Bali travel guide!!!
This will be my first trip to Bali on a girls trip for my 40th bday! This is by far one of the best travel guides I’ve ever read!!!! And I travel quite often. I ordered a few books on Bali and Alexa cuts thru the bs and gives you a safe, honest plan for your trip! Let’s be real, we really want someone else to tell us all the secret spots and give us a road map. She does just that with even sample itineraries!! Of all the books I ordered, I really just needed this one! She is self published so it’s all black and white pics but I just googled the images I wanted to see. Plus there are endless photos on Instagram which she references thru out the book! Bali really is an instagramer’s dream! Being female it’s nice to know reputable places! I highly recommend this book to anyone traveling to Bali or check out her other books!
The eat, pray, love guidebook
I went to Bali alone, last minute, with only this book as my guide. Recently divorced and 62, I just read and followed her suggestions blindly and they lead me through paradise. I caught her passion and honesty, made friends, and found her advice on point and priceless. I read the book. Put it on my kindle, and tore out the itinerary pages and brought them with me. I can’t wait to return. This is the most useful, concise guidebook I have ever used and it gave me the courage to be bold and venture out. There are healers is Bali. This book was all I needed. Bali herself provided the rest through the eyes and passion and transparency of the author. I ate,, I prayed, I loved. ❤️
Best travel guide i've ever bought
This is the gal you want to travel with!! If you are trying to visit Bali, do yourself a favor and buy this book before you go. It contains all the useful information you are actually wondering when you plan, the kind of info only someone who lives there would know, and it makes you want to scrap anything you were thinking about and follow her advice. It's an easy read, like talking to a friend, not reading a stuffy formal guide book. She responds to messages super fast also, when you send questions. Worth every penny!!
AMAZING.
This book is phenomenal. Alexa might be the COOLEST person to ever exist and she shares all of her knowledge over the best place ever throughout this book. My trip to Bali was amazing and this book is undoubtedly a huge part of that reason! I traveled there alone and met the coolest people along the way, all of which LIVED by this book I had over there. We literally called it our Bali Bible. Alexa is always willing to answer questions on social media as well. If you are wondering if you should buy any of her books, the answer is 100% yes. She is amazing and her books are just as well.
Don’t waste your time with dense travel books- this is all you need, solo or not!
This book was incredible! I am not a “solo” travel girl. Planning to go to Bali next year on my honeymoon with my fiancé/future husband. It doesn’t matter. I can still use Alexa’s recommendations. You can finish this book quickly, and you won’t be overwhelmed like reading all of these other, dense travel books. This book is simple, organized & everything you need! Also, Alexa is sooo funny. This book was hyped up for me when I read the reviews, but the book lives up to the hype. Really glad I bought it, and now I’m the girl giving the (well-warranted) 5-star review. :)
Great Book, Pics Not in Color
Book is full of great info! Looking forward to researching. Only giving 3 stars because I feel like for $30 the pictures should be in color. I feel like the black and white pictures on plain paper take away from the intent to provide a visual cause some pictures are hard to see.

I ordered a few books on Bali and Alexa cuts thru the bs and gives you a safe, honest plan for your trip! Let’s be real, we really want someone else to tell us all the secret spots and give us a road map. She does just that with even sample itineraries!! Of all the books I ordered, I really just needed this one! She is self published so it’s all black and white pics but I just googled the images I wanted to see. Plus there are endless photos on Instagram which she references thru out the book! Bali really is an instagramer’s dream! Being female it’s nice to know reputable places! I highly recommend this book to anyone traveling to Bali or check out her other books!
The eat, pray, love guidebook
I went to Bali alone, last minute, with only this book as my guide. Recently divorced and 62, I just read and followed her suggestions blindly and they lead me through paradise. I caught her passion and honesty, made friends, and found her advice on point and priceless. I read the book. Put it on my kindle, and tore out the itinerary pages and brought them with me. I can’t wait to return. This is the most useful, concise guidebook I have ever used and it gave me the courage to be bold and venture out. There are healers is Bali. This book was all I needed. Bali herself provided the rest through the eyes and passion and transparency of the author. I ate,, I prayed, I loved. ❤️
Best travel guide i've ever bought
This is the gal you want to travel with!! If you are trying to visit Bali, do yourself a favor and buy this book before you go. It contains all the useful information you are actually wondering when you plan, the kind of info only someone who lives there would know, and it makes you want to scrap anything you were thinking about and follow her advice. It's an easy read, like talking to a friend, not reading a stuffy formal guide book. She responds to messages super fast also, when you send questions. Worth every penny!!
AMAZING.
This book is phenomenal. Alexa might be the COOLEST person to ever exist and she shares all of her knowledge over the best place ever throughout this book. My trip to Bali was amazing and this book is undoubtedly a huge part of that reason! I traveled there alone and met the coolest people along the way, all of which LIVED by this book I had over there. We literally called it our Bali Bible. Alexa is always willing to answer questions on social media as well. If you are wondering if you should buy any of her books, the answer is 100% yes. She is amazing and her books are just as well.
Don’t waste your time with dense travel books- this is all you need, solo or not!
This book was incredible! I am not a “solo” travel girl. Planning to go to Bali next year on my honeymoon with my fiancé/future husband. It doesn’t matter. I can still use Alexa’s recommendations. You can finish this book quickly, and you won’t be overwhelmed like reading all of these other, dense travel books. This book is simple, organized & everything you need! Also, Alexa is sooo funny. This book was hyped up for me when I read the reviews, but the book lives up to the hype. Really glad I bought it, and now I’m the girl giving the (well-warranted) 5-star review. :)
Great Book, Pics Not in Color
Book is full of great info! Looking forward to researching. Only giving 3 stars because I feel like for $30 the pictures should be in color. I feel like the black and white pictures on plain paper take away from the intent to provide a visual cause some pictures are hard to see.
Black and White Photos ???
This book seems like it has some great tips -- though the black and white photos are a HUGE let down! Kinda ruins it for me. Also, I would say if you are a "45+" solo woman (like I am) this book is geared towards a younger crowd.
Great travel guide! Could not recommend it more!
Amazing travel guide. She goes in depth on what is worth seeing and what isn’t, and also gives you accommodation reviews and prices. Honestly one of the best travel guides I’ve read and I learned so much that I hadn’t learned from watching YouTube videos. Great read! Highly recommend!
Daughter Loved It!
This was a great book for my daughter. It offered places to see, eat and sites to travel to.
Exactly what I needed
I bought this book for my trip to Bali this summer and it’s exactly what I needed. It has all the information I could ever need, especially since I’m traveling alone, and it’s exactly what I need to ease my worry about my first solo trip.
Beautiful Book
Great for some tips and tricks on Bali
this book is amazing!
WOW to the fabulous soul sister who wrote this!
I love this book!
This is a must have book!
Yep
Great info. Fun voice.
Awesome travel book for women
Love this book! Great information and community!!!
Amazing!
While I'm not a solo traveler, I am planning a trip to Bali for the first time. This guide has everything! Where to stay, where to eat, how to get around. She tells us where to get the best massage, where to go for yoga class and the best places for tapping into your spirituality. And every gorgeous beach along with night life is mapped out. She even threw in a couple day trips to neighboring islands. No stone is left unturned. I'm not going to make this trip without this book. It is thorough and completed and I'm looking forward to having an amazing time Bali!
Where Do I Start..
This book is AMAZING! And a much needed purchase for your trip to Bali. While this is not my first solo trip to a far off land, this is my first solo trip to the other side of the world and I must say, this book (and Alexa!) put me at ease of all my worries and concerns. The book starts off with all those questions you may have right in the beginning - and she was right, this isn't a book that's written in a way that feels like you're reading a history textbook. She writes as though she's talking to you over a cup of coffee. Talking about Bali weather, what to pack, the culture norms, how to budget, what to avoid, things to know, how to prepare, and from the airport. She then takes you on a ride through many options for staying/eating/planning trips, etc. And last but not least, at the end of her journey, she settles you down with a list of Balinese food and what it is, to learning conversational Indonesian and what apps to download before you go. This book answers questions I didn't even know I had. And gives support in all the right spots. Trust me, it's totally worth it! PS, after purchasing the book I contacted Alexa on Instagram - she responded within 12 hours and answered all the questions I couldn't find in the book. Like, yes, you might want to stay a night in Amed if you want to see Pura Lempuyang from Ubud. She's awesome.
Wonderful book! Useful information & great advice!
Visiting Bali for the first time in a few weeks to attend a wedding & decided to purchase this book since I added a few days after the wedding to venture out on my own. Oh, I borrowed other Bali travel guides from my local library that has fancy color photos and lots of history, but this guide (and the author's encouraging words!) has me less anxious about traveling solo in a country I have never been before. I'm now looking forward to trip even more and know that if I had read this book before I purchased my plane ticket, I may have extended my stay another week (or two!)
She is the gal who you want to travel with
Miss Alexa! I recently purchased her first book, Thailand: A Solo Girls Travel Guide. I love the way Alexa really puts her heart in it. She is the gal who you want to travel with. So why not take her book along. You can only get tips like this if you have actually lived there. Not just traveled but really LIVED there. And it shows. I have been to Bali and stayed for a bit. However after reading her book, I may have missed a few things. She makes me want to go back and re-do my trip all over again. ;) Take this book. Mark it up. And take that trip! Just don’t forget the book. xx
Practical and useful
I have bought many travel books in my time. But this is hands-down the most practical, useful travel book I have ever read. I leave for Bali in a few weeks and I feel this book has totally prepared me for my trip. She also breaks it down into different budgets. Which makes it easy to find accommodations. She also runs a Facebook community of women that travel solo. This community has given me such great tips and advice. I'm telling you you cannot go wrong with these books. Thank you Miss Alexia. It's obvious you put your whole heart into your writing.

Brings Bali to Life
The author brings Bali to life! She explains in detail the culture, what to expect, gives a list of her favorite restaurants, and on and on. This would be a great travel guide for any gal (or guy) interested in going to Bali. Although, she's written it especially for women - which I can appreciate since I've traveled solo to Europe and North Africa - this book would also be great for guys or families interested in seeing Bali. Happy travels!
Travel Advice from your BFF
The Solo Girl's Travel Guides are exactly the style of travel guide I've been searching for, and Alexa's Bali: The Solo Girl's Travel Guide is no exception! It's easy to get inundated by the amount of information out there about Bali. It can become overwhelming and stressful. Sometimes you just need advice from a close girlfriend, and that's exactly what it feels like when you read a Solo Girl's Travel Guide. Pour yourself a glass of wine, get comfy, and let Alexa spill the deets. Her book covers the basics of "where to stay, where to eat, what to see, etc." and takes it a step further by adding in helpful hints, tips, and advice that you would normally only get from a good friend. From her writing, it's clear that Alexa wants you to have a fun, adventurous, and safe time. In addition to her books, she makes herself available to her readers/followers for follow-up questions and help. This girl's heart is in the right place, and I am so happy I came across this book!
Great read!
This book was one of my favorites. I saw on instagram that one of my friends had read it and I finished it in a day, I just couldn't put it down! I marked so many pages off in the book of places that I must visit when I travel to Bali. I have always wanted to go and this book has placed Bali at the top of my places to go list!
Love this concept!
In a previous life (Shall we call it 10 years ago?) I did a lot of solo travel as a female and I love that this book gives you the straight poop on how to do it right. Well worth reading and then pursuing, once the madness stops. Love the resources and the attitude.
The BEST guide yet
Such an amazing read. So well written and Alexa takes us around Bali and gives us the best tips and tricks to fully get the most out of our experience there. Recommend to anyone who is looking for adventure and to travel to an exotic location.
And suddenly I want to visit Bali!
Fun, useful, easy-to-read travel guide to Bali, written as if it's your bestie who's lived there forever telling you what to do and what to avoid. Great pictures, too! It makes me want to book a trip to Bali STAT ... if the pandemic ever lets us travel again!
All you need to know if you are a solo traveler going to Bali for the first time.
Amazing book ! Great advice. Firstly I am a man and I am traveling to Bali on my own pretty soon. In this book I found more than enough information to go with confidence. Everything I read here I searched about on YouTube, Google and talked to some friends that have been to Bali, and could confirm that the information is good and accurate. This book provided me with hours of research in a very easy to find manner and is super valuable to me even tho I am not a girl. She is also very funny, which makes it a very easy and fun read. Taking it with me to Bali next week :)
A Cute Little Guide for Women
I find the book detailed, informative, and helpful for female solo travelers. The pro tips are very pertinent and useful. Highly recommend!
Adventurous travel guide
A travel guide for women travelling through Bali. Worthy of a read even for men.
Bali Bible
What I love most is about this book is that you can have it in your pocket as you travel!!! This guide is a gem. My holy grail for travel! This isn't just a guide for women but a guide for anyone wanting to travel Bali. You get everything needed from do’s and dont’s to the hottest spots on the island! Bali Bible.

Perfect for planning an awesome trip
This book is a MUST HAVE if you want to plan an awesome trip, and especially great if you are on a budget and want to make your money go as far as possible. Get it!
Great Book!
One of my new favorites! I learned so much from this book and would recommend it to anyone!
So insightful
Such a good read! One of my friends recommended it for me because I studied abroad in Indonesia and it made my trip so much more meaningful. Definitely recommend reading if you are looking to travel/study abroad there!!
Speechless
Such a great read. You will not regret purchasing this amazing work!
Love!
This is an amazing guide! Loved every minute of it & I would recommend to all my friends!
Amazing!
I loved this book. It made me feel ready for my upcoming trip. Highly recommend!! I’m so excited for Bali especially now that I’m more prepared.
Lovely guide to paradise
This is a fun, easy to read book that will inspire to travel. Well done.
very useful for solo travel
I loved it!super useful and I bought other books
B&w?
Love it but, is it normal that it’s in black il and white? For 20£
Made my Bali experience 1000 times better!
I chose this book it was written by a fellow entrepreneur. And also, because it was written from a female point of view. When traveling alone as a girl, it's good feel like someone has your back with all the extra tips and tricks. This book really made my Bali experience infinitely better and it allowed me to meet and connect to amazing fellow solo girl travelers! Would definitely recommend even if you're not a girl, or traveling solo.

Visiting Bali for the first time in a few weeks to attend a wedding & decided to purchase this book since I added a few days after the wedding to venture out on my own. Oh, I borrowed other Bali travel guides from my local library that has fancy color photos and lots of history, but this guide (and the author's encouraging words!) has me less anxious about traveling solo in a country I have never been before. I'm now looking forward to trip even more and know that if I had read this book before I purchased my plane ticket, I may have extended my stay another week (or two!)
She is the gal who you want to travel with
Miss Alexa! I recently purchased her first book, Thailand: A Solo Girls Travel Guide. I love the way Alexa really puts her heart in it. She is the gal who you want to travel with. So why not take her book along. You can only get tips like this if you have actually lived there. Not just traveled but really LIVED there. And it shows. I have been to Bali and stayed for a bit. However after reading her book, I may have missed a few things. She makes me want to go back and re-do my trip all over again. ;) Take this book. Mark it up. And take that trip! Just don’t forget the book. xx
Practical and useful
I have bought many travel books in my time. But this is hands-down the most practical, useful travel book I have ever read. I leave for Bali in a few weeks and I feel this book has totally prepared me for my trip. She also breaks it down into different budgets. Which makes it easy to find accommodations. She also runs a Facebook community of women that travel solo. This community has given me such great tips and advice. I'm telling you you cannot go wrong with these books. Thank you Miss Alexia. It's obvious you put your whole heart into your writing.
Best Bali travel guide!!!
This will be my first trip to Bali on a girls trip for my 40th bday! This is by far one of the best travel guides I’ve ever read!!!! And I travel quite often. I ordered a few books on Bali and Alexa cuts thru the bs and gives you a safe, honest plan for your trip! Let’s be real, we really want someone else to tell us all the secret spots and give us a road map. She does just that with even sample itineraries!! Of all the books I ordered, I really just needed this one! She is self published so it’s all black and white pics but I just googled the images I wanted to see. Plus there are endless photos on Instagram which she references thru out the book! Bali really is an instagramer’s dream! Being female it’s nice to know reputable places! I highly recommend this book to anyone traveling to Bali or check out her other books!
The eat, pray, love guidebook
I went to Bali alone, last minute, with only this book as my guide. Recently divorced and 62, I just read and followed her suggestions blindly and they lead me through paradise. I caught her passion and honesty, made friends, and found her advice on point and priceless. I read the book. Put it on my kindle, and tore out the itinerary pages and brought them with me. I can’t wait to return. This is the most useful, concise guidebook I have ever used and it gave me the courage to be bold and venture out. There are healers is Bali. This book was all I needed. Bali herself provided the rest through the eyes and passion and transparency of the author. I ate,, I prayed, I loved. ❤️
Best travel guide i've ever bought
This is the gal you want to travel with!! If you are trying to visit Bali, do yourself a favor and buy this book before you go. It contains all the useful information you are actually wondering when you plan, the kind of info only someone who lives there would know, and it makes you want to scrap anything you were thinking about and follow her advice. It's an easy read, like talking to a friend, not reading a stuffy formal guide book. She responds to messages super fast also, when you send questions. Worth every penny!!
AMAZING.
This book is phenomenal. Alexa might be the COOLEST person to ever exist and she shares all of her knowledge over the best place ever throughout this book. My trip to Bali was amazing and this book is undoubtedly a huge part of that reason! I traveled there alone and met the coolest people along the way, all of which LIVED by this book I had over there. We literally called it our Bali Bible. Alexa is always willing to answer questions on social media as well. If you are wondering if you should buy any of her books, the answer is 100% yes. She is amazing and her books are just as well.
Don’t waste your time with dense travel books- this is all you need, solo or not!
This book was incredible! I am not a “solo” travel girl. Planning to go to Bali next year on my honeymoon with my fiancé/future husband. It doesn’t matter. I can still use Alexa’s recommendations. You can finish this book quickly, and you won’t be overwhelmed like reading all of these other, dense travel books. This book is simple, organized & everything you need! Also, Alexa is sooo funny. This book was hyped up for me when I read the reviews, but the book lives up to the hype. Really glad I bought it, and now I’m the girl giving the (well-warranted) 5-star review. :)
Great Book, Pics Not in Color
Book is full of great info! Looking forward to researching. Only giving 3 stars because I feel like for $30 the pictures should be in color. I feel like the black and white pictures on plain paper take away from the intent to provide a visual cause some pictures are hard to see.
