What Clients Say

We're so happy we found Our Year in Bali. The call with Simone made us feel confident that living in Bali was possible. Simone is such a wonderful connection to have. She talked me through the schools that would best fit my kids. She connected us with the right people who are so lovely - visa company, driver upon arrival, etc. And the guide book has everything we need - from the kid's doctor's number, areas to live in, schools, and everything in between like where to get unscented laundry detergent. It really helped soothe the anxieties of moving.
The Silver Package is worth every cent and I know we will continue to use the guide while we live in Bali.

We had an inquiry call six months before we decided to move our lil family of four. We not only felt her earnest desire to help us settle with ease, she also made personal introductions to the schools we were interested in (which was our top priority).
Her recommendations have led us to the most important relationship we’ve cultivated in our relocation: our incredible visa agent! The recommended businesses and contacts in her guide is a treasure trove of wonderful and TRUSTWORTHY people who mirror her same warmth and generosity of spirit. They will genuinely cheer you on for taking on this exciting endeavor.
Thanks for this incredible service you offer, Simone- steered by your heart of service! We are so grateful!

I'd been planning on moving to Bali for a few years and was finding the abundance of information overwhelming and felt like I was never going to 'get all my ducks in a row'.
Then I discovered Simone and Our Year in Bali. After a zoom call with Simone, I finally felt knowledgeable and confident enough to make the move to Bali. I purchased the Silver package which suited my needs and have literally referred to the documents and links to services prepared in depth by Simone regularly.
I've been in Bali now for a little over 5 months and loving it. If you're thinking of making the move to Bali, I can highly recommend Simone at Our Year in Bali for all your needs, whether big or small.

We found this to be a thoroughly excellent service. The daunting prospect of organising removals, shipping, visas, education, banking, health insurance etc – was simplified and incredibly efficient. We had a clear direction after one call with Simone and all of the respective options were laid out and in direct contact with us. We got the silver package which included living cost estimates, medical and emergency contacts, tutors, real estate contacts – and on it goes. Thanks very much!

I found Simone and Our Year In Bali while doing some self research that I was finding difficult and stressful. Simone’s passion and enthusiasm were evident in the call and the package allowed me to have all the information I needed organized and easily accessible. She also provided some invaluable connections that I couldn’t have made on my own. It took a lot of the stress out of what’s going to be an exciting next chapter for my dog and I.

KimVietnam

I was very glad to have found Simone when my husband and I first started thinking about moving to Bali. We had searched the internet on how we could do this and found SO MANY websites and pages telling us what to do and everyone had conflicting advice and then when I was at my wits end and about to call it all off I found Simone!
After one conversation with her I saw the light at the end of the road. She listened to exactly what I wanted, she introduced me to the right people, she’s kind and caring and our journey would not be possible if I hadn’t found Simone. I can’t thank Simone enough for showing us the way forward”.”

SharonAustralia

To be honest, I wasn’t planning on hiring a consultant to move our family to Bali. I thought I could elbow grease most of the research, but I changed my mind after I got on a discovery call with Simone.
This lady has a goldmine of info with hundreds of pages of well-researched info on schools, living in Bali, setting up household, and practical living tips that not only saved me dozens of hours, but way more money down the road.
Simone’s research was incredibly updated and reliable. Much more than if I had tried to research on the Internet or Facebook groups, most of which contained outdated info on schools and living. I saved tens of thousands of dollars and much grief down the road by picking the wrong school.
Trust me, go for this and save yourself way more time, money, and heartache later, if you are considering moving to Bali and especially for families.”
