What $10K a year in Bali gets you. Tour my new home!

  • I moved once again for what feels like the umpteenth time since living in Bali. This time I've left the Canggu bubble and settled into a big, beautiful new house in a residential/expat area.
    Since day one of moving in, I've been redecorating and bringing the villa up to my taste level. One of the things that I love about this villa is that it's like a blank canvas for me to design and make my own.
    I signed a year lease and the yearly price (around $10K USD) was reduced as market demand for these larger houses has decreased during the pandemic and the lack of people coming into Bali.

    What I admire about you is your honesty and your self awareness.
    You admit to hating a number of things that most people also detest but don’t admit to.
    Your puppy will eventually settle, be calm and used to routine. Twelve weeks of age is so very young. Agree about ensuring Malibu learns to swim though.
    Your villa is a really lovely, peaceful space.
    I absolutely agree with the removal of the sperm lights🤣
    I have watched all your videos and very much enjoy them. Thankyou for the tour.

      Pools that a dog cant get out of can be a problem. They can jump in easy ! But for a little dog its hard for them to heave themselves out. And if no one sees them to get them out , they can tire from swimming & drown.
      It can happen 🤦🏻‍♀️😰🐶

    Gorgeous home and I love that you have all this space for just you and your pets. People think you just need one little room since it’s one person. Having more space does motivate you to be creative and feel like you can breath. It gives you space to decorate too and make the house your own. I loved it all.

    I just love this video tour of your home and am a huge fan. Home aesthetics/ambience hugely impact my mood and I too am a nester/homebody type. I'm considering becoming an expat in Bali and will be taking my first trip next year as soon as it's open to tourists. Your videos of what you like and don't like (especially on Canggu) speak to me. I appreciate the content of the vlogs, your candor, authenticity and how you've set up a nice home base for yourself there. Am taking notes! Keep doing you and of course, I have subscribed.

    If you love where you live, the affordability, relaxed lifestyle, don’t tell the world about it. *Gentrification is a real thing.
    When I first arrived in Brooklyn, It was a very affordable ‘artists haven’ before a newspaper article made it a famous / cool place to live. Pittsburgh also used to be a very affordable place to rent or buy a home until the online reviews and articles began. And everyone started rushing in. This is why the locals are angry at foreigners coming in. Everyone is looking for bargain living. Gentrification causes the prices of EVERYTHING to go up, including food, affecting locals and other expats. The locals get pushed out of their homes and crime rates go up due to bitterness and economic hardship. If you love your affordable lifestyle -- Advice: keep it to yourself. There are so many other things to vlog/blog about.

    Thank you for sharing your experience in Bali. I found your videos very useful.
    I am considering moving to Bali for my retirement in two years.
    Congratulations for your new home. It's really very beautiful.
    You are very gifted for the interior design.
    Like I said, I am considering moving to Bali and I will also find myself in the same situation to rent a house.
    I would like to know how far the owners are ready to negotiate the rental price of a house in normal times?
    Also, could you tell us how much your Banjar costs you monthly?
    I know the prices are very different from one Banjar to another.
    Looking forward to meeting you in Bali

      Hi William
      I just left Bali after 10 years due to covid. I was very happy with moving to Ubud. I suggest you rent a number of times, maybe in different locations. There can be unforseen drawbacks you find after living there. Until I learned I'd pay the higher " foreigner " prices for example. Later I'd have my housekeeper negotiate, get a better price and eventually pay her or buy her kids something. No real savings. One of my better gifts was a water heater for her kitchen and bathroom. Water comes from underground and is cold.
