Tourists Bring Driver With Them On Adventures In Bali & It’s Too Wholesome

The best kinds of vacations are the ones where you’re open to even the most unexpected adventures. This is the kind of mindset Monika Ba Bandaraitė and her fiancé must have had when they took a trip to the Indonesian island of Bali! From zip lining and a local coffee tasting to meeting monkeys and taking in the beautiful nature, this couple had a full trip planned. With so much to do and see, they got a local Bali driver to take them around.

Because he was their driver for the day, he planned to simply stay back while they had fun. Instead, this thoughtful couple invited him on all of their adventures! They have so many photos from their time together, and they show just how much fun all three of them had. Best of all, they learned that their driver had never experienced many of the things they had planned, making the video below all-the-more special.

@hashtagmonika Your reminder to take your Bali driver with you. They dont earn much and most of them never been places before.

According to Monika, who shares more details in the comment section of her video, their driver had a blast! In fact, she says he was posting tons of videos and photos online for his loved ones to see.

“Your reminder to take your Bali driver with you. They don’t earn much and most of them never been places before,” Monika says. “Most of the attractions and restaurants are super cheap for us but can be very expensive for the locals.”
