Hi ella_oz
did you post before about your daughter in this relationship? if so they seem to have lasted longer than just that bali blues stage.
I am engaged to a Balinese guy and we have been together for mm coming up three years. At the moment he still lives there hence I travel to Bali alone about every 2-3 months. He works so he's not always around but I still feel very save. You said your daughter has local friends if she feels comfortable and trusts them then they should keep and eye out for her.
I'm 22 and have several friends in the same position actually one 19 year old just spent 5 months alone there and had a fantastic time.
I dont know whether its best to defer uni or not thats her choice however I could think of worse places she could go alone to.
take care
