I’m considering a solo trip, but I’m not sure if I’m clutching at straws. It would be 3 days in Singapore and 6 days in Bali.

I should point out that this is looking to be mid/end of March 2025. I’ve seen that it’s not the greatest time, but is it really that bad?

I love cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Taipei, Bangkok and Seoul. I’ve been to Kathmandu, Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Koh Samui, Vientiane, Hanoi. I enjoyed them and I get the feeling that those are similar to Bali?

I like a quite structured plan when travelling, I’m not really a fan of “go get an unmarked bus from a random corner, that departs whenever it’s full”. I’m also not really a “go with the flow” person, who just turns up without a plan in mind and decides at the time. Bali seems a little chaotic in that way, a bit like the Hippy Trail vibe.

So before I jumped straight in, I wanted opinions. Is it similar to the places I listed, or is it more of an overwhelming experience, sort of like I hear India can be.

Thanks in advance, I hope my question isn’t too vague!
