I booked my dream Bali trip thinking I’d find empty beaches and secret waterfalls. Instagram made it look like paradise. Reality? The beaches were packed with selfie-stick warriors, the “hidden” waterfall had a line of 20 people waiting for the same photo, and that infinity pool I dreamed of was only accessible if you booked the most expensive resort. Still, Bali has magic—fresh coconut water, local markets full of color, the sound of waves at sunset—but the perfect Instagram version is only part of the story. Have you ever traveled somewhere your photos didn’t match reality? #Travel #Bali
