Jonzy's catalog estimates roughly $1,300/month all-in living costs in Bali (about $700/mo for a mid-market one-bedroom), with safety scored 72/100, internet 62/100, and visa difficulty rated "Moderate". Gojek and Grab for everything: Both apps deliver food, parcels and motorbike rides for $1–3. Scooter rental runs $50–80/month; get an international driving permit before arriving, police checkpoints in Canggu are real. Canggu, Ubud or Uluwatu: pick a vibe: Canggu is surf-and-startups (and traffic chaos); Ubud is yoga and rice fields; Uluwatu is clifftop sunsets and serious surf. Sanur is where families and retirees go for calm beaches. For neighbourhood detail, cost breakdowns, and visa paths, see the full Bali city guide.

Cash for warungs, card for villas: Local warungs serve a $2 nasi campur but only take cash; withdraw rupiah from BCA or Mandiri ATMs (lower skimming risk). Villas, co-workings and Western cafés take card.
