OUR YEAR IN BALI FAMILIES

Spending three months in Bali to determine if it’s suitable for an extended stay for our family.

“Thank you so much for your service and these wonderful documents in the Bronze package packed full with information, that it’s just not possible to get by Googling!

I’ve been reading over the practical living guide for the past few weeks in preparation for our extended 3-month stay in Bali and now feel so much more knowledgeable and prepared.”

Lisa, UK

Moving from the UK with a young family and working online.

“Moving abroad can be very overwhelming, so when we decided to pack up our life and move to Bali, we are so glad we stumbled across Our Year in Bali.

Simone was incredibly helpful from the get go. She knows everything there is to know about Bali, and her information packs are filled with everything you’ll ever need, and more.

Simone doesn’t just provide you with the information and disappear, she is there to help along the way if you need it too. All of the information Simone provided meant we were able to feel somewhat knowledgeable and comfortable with our new life, before we got there.

I couldn’t recommend Simone enough, thank you for making our transition to Bali life that little bit easier!”

Hannah, UK

Having tied the knot in Bali eight months earlier, they opted to sell their property in Australia and retire in the picturesque island.

“We are so excited to be leaving for Bali this Monday!

A big thankyou to Simone and her team for making our transition as simple and stress free as possible.

We could not have done this with you. Your knowledge and contacts are priceless.

Our adventure begins! THANKYOU!!”

Kylie & Dean, Australia

First visit to Bali as part of a six-month exploration of Southeast Asia.

“I purchased the Bronze package months ago, and I have now almost finished it!

The amount of detail and information in the pack is simply amazing. So helpful, so thorough and so well thought through.

Everything has been considered and there are parts that I wouldn’t have even thought of needing to study or research.

I’m so grateful I came across Simone, we travel in 1 month and I actually feel prepared and organised thanks to everything she has covered in her bronze package.

Thank you again Simone. Absolute golden information!”

Kyla, Spain

Relocating to Bali for the first time from Europe, where our seven-year-old son wasn’t fluent in English.

“When you take a step like this, there are a lot of things you should consider. School, where to live, business, visas, cost estimations… and a lot more.

Simone helped us with very accurate and helpful information and I can say that with her spreadsheets and calculations about Bali, it gave us a final push!

Thanks Simone.”
