- Welcome to my first day in Uluwatu, Bali - a stunning region on the southern tip of Bali full of jaw-dropping cliffs, a vibrant surf culture, famous beaches, and world-class sunsets. I’ve been dying to come here ever since I arrived in Indonesia, so without further ado, welcome to a day in my life here in Uluwatu, Bali!

➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time - from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. At the moment, I'm traveling solo around Indonesia and documenting everything here on CZcams!

Their 100% different. Canggu you can access the Party scene, amazing restaurants/cafes, and beach clubs. It's OVERALL just more "developed" with western amenities. I only got to stay in Uluwatu for about 2-3 days which I was sad about. Uluwatu is just waaaay more relaxed. Surf town vibes. Also, beautiful beach clubs because the beaches are just INSANE. All in all with a scooter there both only about 45 minutes from each other. It's honestly crazy how different the landscapes are.
I couldn't agree more!
Interesting to watch your videos as it is like you are following my journeys but twenty to thirty years later.
All the places we both stayed in are kind of same-same but different. I imagine you will look back in thirty years time as you watch some other persons vlog visiting the places you went to and be as interested as I am to see the changes and will experience the mixed feelings I have to see how they developed.
I lived in Sayulita in 1993, before moving to Puerto Escondido for bigger better surf and enjoyed watching your videos on both those places.
I first travelled to Bali in 1984 and had a miserable time ( me at fault not Bali !) so I didn't return until 1995 the start of a long stay in Bingin ( Uluwatu). There were just four warungs on the beach then, and the deal was you could sleep in them for free if you bought dinner and some drinks. There were no places at all to stay in Bingin, just a little village full of happy Balinese and most nights I fell asleep to the sounds of the surf, cowbells and gamelan music played in the nearby temples.
I had planned on a two month trip to Bingin, but ended up building a place there, and helped some of the expat pioneers build their places there too. I sold my place in Bingin and moved out in 2009 coz it was getting way too busy for my tastes.
I was in Peru in 2018 and Mexico City / Yucatan in 2019, also in your videos. It will be interesting to see if you make it to my other favourite places. Egypt, (it seems you didn't make it there yet, I highly recommend it), Japan ( for being a truly unique experience due to so many things being different, I went over 40 times in an 11 year period of having a Japanese girlfriend), and the small remote Indian Ocean island where I now live. Keeping the location a secret, coz such rare treasures are becoming fewer and fewer as "development" spreads, those who deserve it will find it.
Wishing you safe and happy travels and thank you for enabling me
You are such good spirit Crosby.
Uluwatu is my fav part of Bali I've been to so far!
Oh yes it's up there for me too!!
Would definitely love a comparison video! Just booked tickets this week to go to Bali in November and I am so excited! 🤩
Coming soon!
Cewek America ini bisa mengendarai motor. That was cool🙏❤️
I also loved Uluwatu when I was there earlier this year, your video makes me excited to go back again!!
You should! Enjoy
From New Jersey go to Bali - Indonesia right away ✌️
Thanks, Crosby. Such great information and what a gorgeous place!! I'm a boomer and plan to slow travel when I retire in 4 years. Even though we are a few generations apart, I appreciate the same things you do: a variety of cultures, FOOD!, yoga, beautiful places, and you are comfortable traveling alone. I prefer to travel alone because you can 100% stick to your agenda and not compromise. As a boomer woman, I'm done compromising my time😅 But I really do appreciate all the effort and time you put into your work, and I'm learning so much from your experiences. Can't wait for your next video! 💗
I agree with you on the solo travel piece! I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos :) thank you for the words of encouragement!
Enjoying all your content! Have fun on all your trips! Enjoy a coffee!
Thank you so so much!!! ❤🙏
awesome video! looks lush
Sunsets are stunning at the cliffs, such as karang boma cliff for example. Bring some beers and enjoy watching the last surfers in the water below.
Should check out nyang nyang beach in Ulu! I like that one since it isn’t as packed 🙌🏻
Amazing Video!!!
Superb content! This is so thorough & helpful!!

I miss sitting at Drifter! Such a chill vibe. And many famous surfers pass through.
It's such a cool spot!
Please be careful and have fun
❤
Uluwatu looks absolutely beautiful! I never had a chance to go there when I was in Bali a few years ago, but I can really tell that I would like it for sure. I would love to see a video where you compare Canggu with Uluwatu!
Coming next week!
great video! i just boughtmy tickect tobali
thank you for making the 1000th Uluwatu video
Amazing video we never been there but we hope once be able to.
It's beautiful video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Uluwatu sounds like my kind of place with the more relaxed and chill vibes! I'd love to see a comparison video. Hopefully I'll be able to visit Indonesia and Bali sometime soon. 😍
Indonesia and Bali?? Bali is an island as well as a province in Indonesia
Next time you should visit Menjangan island in north west Bali ( an island with deer habitate ) it's has beautiful coral reef
Mantaap ❤thank you crosby grace travels
suka is is nice and the fact its directly infront of thomas beach, i miss it already
First comment tonight, right 10 minutes after you uploaded this video...
Thank you Crosby for your awesome video in Bali, can't wait to watch more!
So glad you’re enjoying!!
You are brave Crosby.
Lovely 😍
Beautiful island
Bali looks amazing
After bali where you want a go more in indonesia ?
LOVE FROM BALI, INDONESIA 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Goto Sideman. Amazing there
Beautiful blue ❤water
Paradise on earth. B there in october😊
Have the best time!!
Be great to hear about the differences between Canggu and Uluwatu. I only went to Ubud and Canggu a few years ago, however found the lack of footpaths in Canggu a bit challenging for getting everywhere (walking) because I didn’t want to ride a scooter.
I definitely agree. Comparison video coming next week!
Semoga harimu indah! 😊
Hi! Great video thnks!, You as many others got a scooter to go around, but do you know if in Uluwatu is easy to use grab?
In my humble opinion, Ulluwatu is 100% better than Canggu. Canggu just seems so hard to get to and cramped like sardines in a can. Good for partying, though, if that's what people want. Great vids, I can't wait until October. I'm coming over to do scuba diving in lembongan, then Kuta, Sanur, and Nusa Dua. Mmm, need to squeeze in Ulluwatu somehow as well.
Sure, now keep telling all the people until Ulu is just as f*cked up as the Gu. Great job everybody 👍
Omg great video! I was wondering as a solo traveller, how do you make sure your stuff is safe at a beach e.g when going for a swim?
Di bali sangat aman
watch the independent events on August 17 and many competitions throughout Indonesia
Hey Crosby,
Great job! Fantastic video, very informative. I was going to relocate there but heard the crime was bad? What is your opinion?
All the best & safe travels.
I haven't heard that at all and felt very safe myself!
I love your videos! Can you tell me where to book hotels/villas /accomodations? Booking and airbnb?
❤❤❤
10:17 🎉🎉
Time to re-base that currency!
Liked this. I'll watch some more.
Nice tour Crosby...Double down on sunscreen!
Always!
When you at at the beach by yourself ,is it safe to leave your backpack on the beach while you enjoy the water?
Uluwatu ❤
A majestic place.
Newsflash ,,, if it’s a surf spot , it’s gonna be a great place to “hang”…
Started doing it when I was 12 in 1972 😂
How i miss Uluwatu
Hey! nice video, thanks for showing that places, i think is where i’ll be staying next year.
I see that you went to the beach, is it safe to leave your staff and go to the water? or you weren’t alone?
I felt very safe; I also left my things next to a nice family and didn't go to far away in the water so I could keep an eye on my stuff
@@CrosbyGraceTravels Thanks for clarifying
I was actually wondering the same so glad you asked and Crosby answered!
I love bali
Hello I really enjoy the videos can you please tell were did you get that back round music by the yoga part of the video please
Epidemic Sounds!
Looks nice
Bali looks amazing
Hey Crosby! Do you need an international DL to rent scooters or will they rent them with a national (European) DL?
Technicallyyyy yes, you’re supposed to, but it’s not really enforced in Indonesia unless you get into a wreck or pulled over. Then you’ll have to pay a fine and you usually can’t get insurance coverage.
Yoga👍.maybe you will also be interested in the Merpati Putih. Betako.
PS Merpati Putih.😁😛😀😁😛😁😀👍👍
like the TL sunset. would be cool, unless they're against it, to intro your new friend(s) name, maybe a bit about them if they're ok with that. becomes a more personal vlog.
I’m super curious about your thoughts on comparing Bali to puerto Escondido??? Just the overall vibe.
Oooh that could be a cool video 👀

Hey I stumbled upon your videos today and I've been binging them all day! Are you or your ex by any chance related to other CZcamsrs called Tim and Fin?
No we aren’t! But they rock 🙌
The monkey needs coffe too...🙈🙈🙈
Is there a lot of Moskitos ???
Did you use a drone or stock footage ?
I did all the drone shots myself :)
Ulu and Sanur are the best areas imo
Thanks
Thank you!!!
good videoo...👍👍👍 how about video reaction..food or fruid in indonesia..or the different KFC, MC d Starbuck..J co ..in the restorant..
Goood
How are the trash issues in Bali? i have seen videos of tons of plastic in the water.
Unfortunately, it's pretty bad and really awful to see. Even in remote places like Komodo NP, there was trash in the water :(
is it common for all air bnbs to have lizards inside the room?
bukit penninsula
Great video however you may want to add that if you ride a scooter in Bali you need to have a licence to be insured by travel insurance. This is why you see people who have been injured on scooters and have go fund me pages as they can’t get insurance to cover the medical bills. Safe travels 😊
❤❤😂🎉
Congrats, u are used to geckos; u are an Indonesian now.
Tarkan Bali
Awesome video!!!
I am interested about what are you streams of income, I would like to travel too and I am thinking about becoming a CZcamsr or influencer too, and I woul love to hear you talk about this 😊
I love the video 😉❤️
Definitely follow me on Instagram if you aren't already! I talk about this a lot on there and am launching something for aspiring creators this fall that would be perfect for you 😊
