hi, i will be traveling to bali for the first time in august. i'm a female in her mid-20s and i'll be traveling alone.

i'm thinking of starting off in sanur to chill out on the beaches then going to ubud as a base and hiring a driver to show me around the rest of the island. i'm wondering, though...would it be better for me to start off in a livelier area like kuta or legian? i'm not much of a partier or a drinker, but i don't want to be stuck out in a bungalow surrounded by couples on their honeymoons, either.

any advice on accommodation is welcome, as well...i am on a budget, so inexpensive to low moderate suggestions, please.

oh, and one more question. i'll be on vacation for about 12 days. i am thinking of going to KL for about 3 days, which, including travel time from my home, will give me about 6-7 days in bali, give or take. will i be wishing for more time, or do you think it's a good amount of time to see the major sights?

thank you so much!
