A teenage tourist’s spontaneous act of generosity on the streets of Bali, Indonesia, has won hearts worldwide.
A guy can be seen assisting an old local woman as she tries to carry a basket of groceries on her head in an Instagram video released by the travel account Balilivin.
The local report lauded the man’s ‘compassion,’ stating, ‘Respect this man’s goodness. Thank you for your assistance, sir!’
A video of a teenage tourist in Bali (left) assisting an elderly woman (right) with her shopping bags has gone viral on the Internet.
In the footage, the woman is seen indicating the direction of travel to the young man as automobiles and scooters pass them on the road.
The uplifting video has received over 5,400 likes and 100 comments.
Instagram users have responded to the selfless traveller with an outpouring of praise.
One user stated, “I was there at the moment and immediately witnessed it; I am moved.”
Another added, “Helping a Balinese means giving back what they offer to us constantly.”
Numerous more people reacted using the word “respect” or multiple heart and praying-hands emojis.
After the COVID-19 epidemic triggered global lockdowns and travel restrictions, the Balinese tourist sector is regaining ground gradually.
Australia has traditionally been a major tourist destination on Bali, accounting for a fourth of the island’s annual visitors.
However, Indonesian officials vowed a crackdown on disruptive Australian visitors earlier this month after a series of social media videos depicting Westerners indulging in risky behavior appeared.
Tourists who are expelled from Bali are normally prohibited from reentering the island or the rest of Indonesia for at least six months and maybe longer.
An Australian guy was captured on tape performing motorcycle burnouts in Bali. Australian visitors deemed insubordinate by Indonesian authorities would be expelled.
