Since teenager, together with her parents, Laksmi dedicated herself to help Bali's tourism and economy to recover after the 2002 Bali bombings through Ubud Writers & Readers Festival, a literary festival that tries to rekindle international interest through literature and poetry events. They managed to grow it from a very small festival to the largest literary festival in Southeast Asia.[15][16] It is usually held in October each year and organized by the Yayasan Mudra Swari Saraswati Foundation. In 2019, the festival was named as one of the top five literary festivals in the world by The Telegraph in the UK.[17][18] In the same year, Laksmi also decided to take part as an activist and contributor for UNICEF's Voices of Youth.[19] She now actively promotes literacy and literature engagement in the society as her advocacy, knowing that the interest in writing and reading books in Indonesia is still low. Beside that, she also volunteers to teach English for a non-governmental organization in Bali.[9][20][21]

However, she changed her sash into Bali before the pre-quarantine since Jazmine decided to withdrew due to unknown reason.[35]

During the finale, Laksmi was asked by Putri Kuswisnuwardhani whether she has any experiences that she would like to change. She answered,

"I don't have any experience in my life that I regret however bad it is. I believe that the Universe has made plans for me, and it has helped me grow into a stronger, wiser, and more righteous person. And that is why I can stand here in front of you tonight because of all the experience that has taught me, and it made me a new person and I am courageous, and I know I can conquer anything. Thank you."[36]
